As I noted earlier today, The Washington Post has endorsed Obama.
And as my Reaction co-blogger Mustang Bobby noted today as well, three other major newspapers — the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution — have also endorsed Obama. Another one is The Denver Post.
I can’t say I’m surprised, except when it [...]

Barack Obama.
No surprise there, though the Post is hardly a bastion of liberalism and pro-Democratic sentiment, regardless of what the finger-pointing self-victimizers of the right may have to say about it.
It’s actually not a bad endorsement — well, actually, it’s quite good — with most of it focusing on Obama’s many positive qualities and policy [...]

I totally slipped up not posting, yesterday. I had to get a new phone and my dealer hooked me up with the lastest form of crack, also known as the Blackberry (Curve, flavored). I just want to thank John McCain
for making that possible.
I started researchin’ for today’s Ten Post Round-Up and I had this whole [...]

John McCain has been getting hammered by the media in recent days. Today, Jake Tapper on Political Punch called out McCain for saying today that “He Warned of this Crisis,” although in 2007 he said “He Didn’t See This Crisis Coming.”
An editorial in the NY Times also slammed McCain for claiming on Monday “as he [...]

I was pretty offended this week when I heard that Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, had the nerve to say “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig!” It’s obvious, Obama never met my good friend (we go waaaay back), Miss Piggy. As soon as I heard about what he said, [...]

Whoops! Got a little chatty with the ol’ ball n’ chain the ol’ man SSG Dizzy, today, then got caught up in a lot of necessary real life stuff. Who knew growing a rock could be so much work (true story)? Except for that time of month, “better late than never”, I always say.

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 [...]

The NY Times reports today that although the “first wave of Americans to default on their home mortgages appears to be cresting,” a second, far larger group of potential loan defaults is looming, because now, even “homeowners with good credit are falling behind on their payments in growing numbers.”
The percentage of mortgages in arrears in the category of loans one [...]

The McCain campaing has been pulling some really ugly stuff out of the old Rovian playbook in the past couple of days. The NY Times Editorial Board explains more:
The presumptive Republican nominee has embarked on a bare-knuckled barrage of negative advertising aimed at belittling Mr. Obama. The most recent ad compares the presumptive Democratic nominee [...]

There’s no more “straight talk express” from John McCain, instead he’s signed up for a one way ticket on the “low-road express” with “disciples of Karl Rove from the 2004 campaign and the Bush White House,” heading up the efforts as the conductors of “low-minded and uncivil” political plays and tactics. Should we have expected [...]

“It’s wedge politics at its worst, and we have to reject it loudly, clearly and unequivocally… Let’s call those rumors what they are: lies.”– New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, quoted by the New York Times, denouncing the “whisper campaign” in the Jewish community linking Sen. Barack Obama to Islam.

One day after it was announced that Senator Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor, Kennedy walked out of Mass General hospital accompanied by his wife and children, “to a crowd of well wishers on Wednesday, appearing strong and cheerful.”
The NY Times reports, “if there were any signs that the diagnosis had slowed Mr. Kennedy or dampened his spirits, [...]
