Grace and Class
Hillary Clinton’s Concession Speech is both. H/T Peter Daou at daily Kos:
Thank you so much. Thank you all.
Well, this isn’t exactly the party I’d planned, but I sure like the company.
I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you – to everyone who poured your [...]

Obama bodyslams McCain and Bush.
It’s a beautiful thing to watch, whether you support Obama for President or not.
He ties the two together, than hangs an anvil on their necks, and then shoves them off the plank.
My mom, who voted for Clinton, called me up while Obama was live on TV. “OK,” she said. “I’m votiong [...]

Casey Endorses Obama
This is good news for the Obama campaign, especially considering that so many Pennsylvania power-players like Ed “You’ll Accept Slots Parlors in Your Neighborhood Because I Say So and You’ll LIKE IT! Rendell and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter have already endorsed Clinton.
Inquirer:
The endorsement comes as something of a surprise. Casey, a deliberative [...]
Pravda on the Potomac
It has been months since I took a look at the Bush-loving Washington Post. The op-ed page is just an embarrassment (with perhaps the lone exception of Gene Robinson), and the news section has (IMO) been on a downward spiral. My dad told me there was a good op-ed by Eliot Spitzer today, [...]

Thank God for Chris Dodd.
Harry Reid, the telecom’s best friend and the not-so-secret ally of the opposition Republicans, has been humiliated:
Amid deep and growing divisions among Senate Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) last night abruptly withdrew legislation that would have changed surveillance law and granted the nation’s telecommunications companies retroactive immunity from [...]
The Circus in House: Calls to Congress
I hope everybody enjoyed yesterday’s political theatre in the House of Reprehensibles. To recap:
1) Dennis Kucinich introduces a motion to impeach Lord Vader Vice President Cheney.
2) Steny Hoyer introduces a motion to table the bill, essentially killing it. Hoyer is a gelding Blue Dog, and is afraid of impeaching Cheney. The Democrats [...]

Remember how angry you were when Nancy Pelosi took impeachment off the table? How throughly outraged you were when she said of antiwar protestors in front of her house, “If they were poor, and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they’d be arrested for loitering, but because they have ‘impeach Bush’ across their chest, [...]

Anne Dicker is a personal friend of mine, but even if she wasn’t I’d be supporting her run for State Senate: she’s a dedicated progressive, she’s fought for health care and a raise in the minimum wage, but most importantly, she’s not corrupt like Vince Fumo (warning, pdf), who just scored quite the little break: [...]

As regular readers know, I reserve special loathing for the face of the weak-kneed, mealy-mouthed, GOP-fellating Democrat Leadership, who has turned our Democratic Party into the Democrat Party, replacing the donkey with a 60-year old whore’s worn out and diseased pussy: that face is Harry Reid, shown here telling Americans where to shove their Fourth [...]
