Two Quotes: One Flawed, One Reasoned

After being personally fed up all day yesterday, I find two quotes from Political Wire that illustrate part of a frustration I feel building in many people.
First, John Edwards in a quote about Obama-Clinton dustups:
“Can I honestly tell you I spend not a nanosecond listening to what each of them are saying sniping toward each [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Friday, Pre-Dawn Edition

I just got home from work and had to take care of some promotional stuff. Since I’m online, I figured I would get my Ten Post Round-Up out of the way before I go to bed. I’m fading fast (droopy eyelids, momentary head-nod between post readings), so I’d better hurry up before this [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Wacky Wednesday

It’s Wednesday and some regular readers of my personal blog know what that means. It’s B#@!h Day. And, I’m feeling like it more than usual, today.
But, before I throw caution and good manners to the wind, I just can’t say “no” to your regular daily installment of my “Ten Post Round-Up”.
From News Hounds:

Pity Party Continues [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Circlin’ The Globe

I hope ya’ll remembered to reset your clocks, last night. Daylight Saving Time is over and it’s time to “fall back”. While you’re at it, don’t forget to put new batteries in your smoke detectors.
Today’s round-up includes posts I found from around the world and, of course, a few posts from this corner of the [...]

The Politics of Dish and Swipe

The Obama campaign had a little two for one deal going today when Obama spokesman Bill Burton used the opportunity of responding to Rudy Giuliani calling Obama’s Iran strategy “naive” and “irresponsible,” to take a swipe at Hillary Clinton. This is tacky stuff coming from the Obama campaign:
“While Rudy Giuliani may embrace Hillary Clinton’s policy of not talking and [...]

Obama Balks On Signing Dem Letter to White House on Iran

There was more political posturing on the Iran issue today, as 30 senators sent a letter to the White House “warning President Bush not to take offensive military action against Iran without the consent of Congress.”
Noticeably absent from the list of signatories is presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL.
According to its authors, the letter was [...]

Stephen Colbert Trumps Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich in Presidential Poll

Last night I posted a little something about Ron Paul here, perhaps for the first time, and a few of his supporters were not too pleased. I’m not a Ron Paul enthusiast, I must admit, and clearly as readers know I’m a liberal Democrat, who has never voted outside the party. So for all of [...]

Hillary Clinton Weighs in on Foreign Policy

Hillary Clinton penned a piece for Foreign Affairs Magazine on foreign policy: Security and Opportunity for the Twenty-first Century. It’s a long an interesting read that stirred up once again the kerfluffle over Hillary’s intentions with Iran while she made clear that getting out of Iraq is tantamount:
Ending the war in Iraq is the first [...]

‘08 Watch: It’s Getting A Bit Ugly Out There

The gloves have started come off with the ‘08 Democratic hopefuls and there’s some nasty inuendos being tossed about. First, there’s this from the Iowa Independent (h/t Taylor Marsh) pointing to a set-up of sorts for the withdrawals from the Michigan ballot (see here):  
Five individuals connected to five different campaigns have confirmed – but only under condition [...]
