In May 2005, Vanity Fair published a brilliant article about the ‘04 election and the Republican Noise Machine, by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. – The Disinformation Society.
I was thinking about what Obama said on Face The Nation today that “he didn’t expect immunity from Republican attacks, but could diffuse them with his message of unity and capacity to […]

The most intriguing part of the State of the Union Address for me was watching the Kansas Governor audition for the second spot on the Obama ticket. The main lesson I took from the entire experience, however, is that Obama is playing a dangerous game by creating expectations that he almost certainly cannot deliver on.
Sebelius […]

Hmmm… If it were anyone but the Clinton’s I doubt anyone would be having these conversations:
Chris Matthews: Faye, you first, you know Hillary Clinton, you know Bill Clinton. What’s Bill’s role in this thing, is it a good role or a bad role?
Faye Wattleton: Well, I think that Bill Clinton’s role is that of the […]

There is something to be said for the healing properties of a little music, a lot of laughter, and excellent company. I’m still not a hundred percent, but I am feeling much better today than yesterday.
I’ve got two more nights of partying working ahead of me, so I should be feeling completely gang-busters by Sunday.
I […]

Never one to do anything half-way, I am preparing to work for the next three days and still feeling like Mother Nature does not like me very much. But, the show must go on, as they say.
It kind of reminds me of what my grandmother used to tell me when I was young, “If […]

Excuse the lateness of my blogging. Mother Nature is kicking my behind and I decided that I needed to just curl up for a few days until the butt-kicking subsided.
I have been ill, but I haven’t been completely out of the loop. It’s looking a lot like the world is in free-fall, financially, and the […]

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday! My favorite day of the week. I get to be the center of attention. I get to sing all night. I get entertained by sobriety-challenged singers. AND…I get paid for the privilege! Yes, I have a semi-charmed life.
Just to give you an idea of what I […]

I don’t watch Dan Abrams as much as I should, but I caught his opening segment last night, and the dude absolutely nailed why this entire alleged “Racial Row” between the Clinton and Obama camps is nothing but a fabricated story, completely generated by big-Washington media, designed to sell soap and bump ratings.
For another case […]

Apparently, Hillary Clinton who has not made being an “anti-war” candidate is not supposed to question the record of Barack Obama who has made this his platform. To do so is an “attack” or a “smear.” That’s ludicrous in my opinion.
Barack Obama came to the Senate in as a candidate who opposed the war in […]

I’ve read the articles — I’ve watched the Sunday shows. This whole mess is so sad. Jeralyn speaks for me:
Obama is black. Hillary is a woman. Those are facts beyond change. Neither one qualifies or disqualifies them from being President. Let’s accept it, welcome the diversity and move on.
We have a unique opportunity to elect […]

I have watched an interesting pattern develop for some time now, that I know others have observed as well. When Hillary Clinton or any of her surrogates attempt to draw distinctions between herself and Barack Obama, they are accused of attacking Barack Obama personally. Yet, team Obama gets away with just about whatever they say […]

Pamela’s already mentioned Tweety Mathew’s stupid comments from this morning. I just wanted to chime in with some thoughts in general about how, across the board last night, MSNBC was full of morons and nincompoops who got it so wrong regarding the Democratic vote in New Hampshire, it defied belief.
I tuned in around 8ish and […]
