We have just endured eight years of “cowboy diplomacy” by George Bush. This has given us such zingers as “bring it on” and “we are going to conduct a crusade”. Bush’s mentality has further alienated this country from the rest of the world and extinguished our status as the shining city on the hill. One […]
I love how all these “big stories” on right wing blogs can be traced back to some “emailer” who writes them. The latest case is this one from Glenn Reynolds: A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: “Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We […]
Republicans have jumped into the blame game with lightning speed following the failure of the bailout bill. Ed Henry has a good run down of the talking points here: 60% of Democrats voted for it, while 67% of the Republicans voted against it.

In fact, they have very […]
According to a new poll: Asked which candidate could do a better job of handling the financial crisis as president next year, 48% of registered voters named Obama and 35% named McCain. And now that we got more news of McCain’s campaign manager being tied to Freddie And Fannie Mac, we can expect to see […]
Obama is out there hitting John McCain hard. In five minutes, he leaves no stone unturned:
