Spinelessness, as usual

The Democrats are giving Joe Lieberman everything he wants, and this is symptomatic of the party: they stand for nothing but the status quo and internal accommodation.

Washington D.C. to Obama: Change Back!

This is a photo of an embarrassing misattribution.  It features a quote often misattributed to Charles Darwin:  It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most adaptable to change. 

Leave Rush alone!

If we had decent substance abuse services in this country instead of criminalizing drug use, addicts like Rush Limbaugh could get treatment for their sociopathic personality disorders.

Lieberman as VP candidate?

I haven't heard it from anyone else yet so let me go on the record as predicting McCain will choose Joe Lieberman as his vice-presidential running mate. Bipartisanship and all that blah blah balh (not that Joe is a Democrate in any non-technical sense)

This: He's a Yuppie: Why Obama can't connect with the working class.

That's a load of crap, so wrong I'm not going to bother reading it to see if it redeems itself.

The same kind of crap was put out about Franklin D. Roosevelt, aristocrat.

I swear, Dems do not know how to take sides as partisans it is plain.
