I’m not ready to give up. Hillary is not a quitter and I don’t intend to be one either. Everywhere I look it seems like someone is saying why Hillary cannot win. “The math” isn’t there (remember Karl Rove’s “the math”?). There will be riots if she’s the nominee. Al Gore will come in and save the day by nominating Obama at the convention. That Hillary is going to get abucted by aliens from Trafalmadore and have to...

I Don’t Like The Sound Of This
I’ve wondered for a long time what effect all the infighting would have on regaining the White House in the General Election. With good reason perhaps… I don’t like the sound of this: The lengthy Democratic primary contest bodes well for Republican chances of holding the White House, a new poll suggests. That’s right readers… “As Democratic Senators Barack Obama of Illinois and Hillary Clinton of New York slug it out for the nomination, many of their supporters —...
I Guess I’m Just Sick Of It
After more decades fighting in the political trenches than I care to admit, I’ve come to some state of political fatigue that I’ve only felt once before in all those decades: after the assassination of RKF. Even the ‘typical white person‘ remark doesn’t get me riled or writing. It’s all just too damn much. I have the text of Obama’s speech, done an extensive analysis and haven’t been able to write one gawddamn word. [If it's read, rather than...
A few words about George H.W. Bush
A quick review of some of George H.W. Bush’s exploits: He campaigned for the presidency by vigorously attacking Americans who fight for the preservation of civil liberties. He was a senior and adviser and member of the Carlyle Group, the giant conglomerate that has helped to seal economic ties between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, our most repressive, undemocratic “friend.” Through a campaign of vicious lies and character assassination perpetrated by Episcopal priest and former Congressman John Danforth, Bush’s...
Bill Richardson Endorses Obama
As I was turning in late last night I received a couple of emails that Bill Richardson was endorsing Barack Obama. I was surprised — but not. The NY Times notes that Obama’s speech on “race” was apparently the deal maker: Mr. Obama’s address on race in Philadelphia on Tuesday appeared to sway Mr. Richardson, who sent word to the senator that he was inspired and impressed by the speech, in which Mr. Obama called for an end to...
I Am Wondering Why
I am wondering why it is okay for John Kerry to say what he said about Barack Obama and everyone gives it a pass? I have the utmost respect for John Kerry and have said nary a word about things I have heard him say about Hillary Clinton that I felt were over the top. But with all the hype about “racism” and the things that Clinton surrogates have been accused of, it kind of astounds me that Kerry...
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Basketball, Springtime, and Peeps! Oh, my! It’s a good thing I have 10 minutes to relax and put out this post. What’s that? I only have 6 minutes to chill? Oh, my!

Late Night Reads
I’ve been on overdrive for the past few days working on months of paper work that I have needed to catch up on and in the midst, my apartment is being painted. Every thing is in disarray including my thoughts. In lieu of musing on the various news pieces of importance today here’s a few recommended reads: Two from Taylor Marsh: Hillary’s Chances Are Obama’s Surrogates Clueless? From No Quarter: Shelby Steele: Obama the Bargainer The Caucus Reports: Photograph...
