On my personal ranking of the news events of the past 100 years, the top three stories are (1) Hiroshima/Nagasaki; (2) The tearing down of the Berlin Wall; and (3) The current forcing of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into federal conservatorship.
The conventional wisdom, of course, is that Fannie and Freddie are “too big to [...]

The D.N.C. unveiled a new web site today: www.JustMoreoftheSame.com. The NY Times blog The Caucus reports:
The site will feature research, videos and a blog highlighting Senator McCain’s ties to the Bush administration. Look for the video clip of Senator McCain saying that he has voted with President Bush 90 percent of the time to play a [...]

You’ve got to give McCain credit. By welcoming Palin into his campaign, he sure livened things up quite a bit in this election (and no, I’m not referring to you-know-what, unless you know what is a bridge or something).
Truth be told, I don’t blame him for his (apparently) monumental screw-up. There was not much more [...]

Finally back from my much needed summer break. Not sure if anyone really missed me, but I have to send a shout-out to all my chicas (and hombres) who had my back while I had my guard down.
Let’s jump right in, to today’s Ten Post Round-Up, why don’t we? The last few days have shed [...]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush will not attend the Republican convention and will instead address the assembly via satellite so he can oversee the federal response to Hurricane Gustav, the White House said on Sunday.
“The president and vice president decided not to travel to Minnesota due to the hurricane,” White House spokeswoman Dana [...]

I got a message from Dem Daily blogger Donnie McDaniel earlier today that he was getting ready to evacuate his place in Houma, Louisiana ahead of Hurricane Gustav, which is currently packing one hell of a whallop. Donnie first came to The Dem Daily a few days after Katrina. Stay safe Donnie…
Democratic nominee, Barack Obama is [...]

Obama is finally taking the gloves off:
It’s “crunch time,” Barack Obama tells Karen Tumulty.
Indeed. There are signs that Obama has taken his gloves off and locked them in a cabinet somewhere, maybe in Hawaii.
The Obama campaign is officially sanctioning an attack on John McCain’s wealth and lifestyle — the first time they’ve been willing to [...]

This morning Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf announced that he would resign. Musharraf has been under pressure to resign due to “impending impeachment charges.” His resignation will end “nearly nine years as one of the United States’ most important allies in the campaign against terrorism.” The scenario reminds me a bit of Nixon…
Speaking on television from his presidential [...]

When Reagan and Daddy Bush finally tied the knot after their big dustup in 1980, the only reasonable conclusion was that they were really consummating a marriage between the military/industrial complex and big oil. This probably started out as a tenuous union but eventually morphed into the shadow entity most appropriately known as BUSHCO.
Fast forward [...]

The Temptation is to just chalk this up to another monumental blunder by little Georgie, but, really, Ronald Reagan comes in for a heaping helping of blame as well.
Why does the “nation” of Georgia even exist? But after Reagan established the precedent with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, is there any way to deny “national aspirations” [...]

President Bush last week sounded just like a liberal.
Yes, you read that right. Bush. Liberal. Same sentence.
At the new U.S. embassy in Beijing on the opening day of the Olympics, he said, “All people should have the freedom to say what they think.” Without even blinking, he also told the world, while directing his comments [...]
