Blog: February 14th, 2007A few questions to keep in mind while watching the latest salvo in the Faux News bombardment of Senator Obama:1. So we haven’t seen Obama smoke.

From The Hill:Former President Bill Clinton yesterday complained that “it’s just not fair” the way his wife, presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), is being depicted for her controversial Iraq war vote.Speaking to hundreds of supporters on conference call, the former president said, “I don’t have a problem with anything Barack Obama [has] [...]
Blog: March 26th, 2007Perusing the conservative blogosphere this morning, this caught my eye. To an extent, all candidates are chosen based on their image.

Blog: May 23rd, 2008Over 1900 years ago, the prominent Roman historian Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus pinpointed what he saw as the exact moment the great Republic fell.

Blog: June 18th, 2008You know you haven’t got much to say about your opposition when you resort to condemning their logistics. First Fox News ran a “days since Barack Obama promised to appear on our show” clock.
