What’s with all the Romney love? Like get a load of this: If (as I suspect) Romney gets the nomination, then those Evangelicals who are disgusted by Joseph Smith, will still hold their nose and vote for Romney in the general election, because seeing Hillary Clinton as President is something that they find even more [...]

I’ve beem meaning to write about this for a few days now, but I got sidelined by illness (still pretty sidelined, btw, but up for a blog post every now and then!). Some think that you can separate the Bush Sr. (aka Bush 43) and Bush Jr. (aka Bush 41) administrations neatly into “realists” vs. [...]

A massive generation-defining cultural moment has been averted. Damn: News Corp., the parent company of book publisher HarperCollins and the FOX network, has canceled publication of the O.J. Simpson book and television special “If I Did It.” “I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project,” said Rupert Murdoch, [...]

Not to keep plugging ill-conceived shameless self-promotion, but I think this dovetails nicely with Matski’s theory: The Global Orgasm for Peace was conceived by Donna Sheehan, 76, and Paul Reffell, 55, whose immodest goal is for everyone in the world to have an orgasm Dec. 22 while focusing on world peace. “The orgasm gives out [...]

I know it’s terribly overexposed, but in this post-Iraq, post-9/11 era of recriminations, “If I Did It” is likely to become the catchphrase of the aughts (i.e., this as-yet-unamed decade). So with that out of the way, why are some sanctimonious Fox affiliates shying away what will be such a cultural touchstone? This is guaranteed [...]

Charlie Rangel offers legislation that is sure to please: Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 if the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has his way. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said Sunday he sees his idea as a way to deter politicians from launching [...]

Gay marriage for Dutch voters: Five days before a national election here, the center-right government announced today that it planned to introduce legislation to ban burkas and similar garments in public places, saying the full-body garb worn by a small number of Muslim women in the Netherlands posed a grave security threat, both to the [...]

Regarding the usefulness of “Jack,” it seems that a Republican political consultant may have recycled the “youdontknowjack.org” domain to apply it to Jack Murtha. Originally it was used — in a totally opposite positive way — for one-time Republican Senatorial candidate Jack Ryan. Just too funny.

Correctly or not, the Dem Congressional leaders are putting their victory last week down to the electorate’s hope that a Democratic Congress will somehow conjure a way out of Bush’s quagmire. Fact is, you and I and everyone who pays attention to these things know that there’s simply no easy answer. So the Dems seem [...]
