On Biting The Dog That Bit You PUMA members are a prime example of what is wrong with this country.
PUMA members are a prime example of what is wrong with this country.Many of my contemporaries think it is all about them, precisely because they were brought up by people who feel as the PUMAs do. Desperate and selfish, these women do not see the larger picture. Not surprising, in retrospect. Looking in the mirror, chanting "it's our... blogcritics.org Wednesday, August 27, 2008Biden: It's About The Supreme Court McCain’s Supreme Court position, in pop-ups
Joe Biden’s ability to out straight talk the faux-maverick is definitely an asset for him. He sees what’s important right now and isn’t afraid to put it plainly.
Biden said U.S. President George W. Bush's two conservative appointees - Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito - have pushed [...] feedburner.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008Hillary Clinton's Betrayal of Feminism As far as I?m concerned, Hillary Clinton has betrayed feminism.
As far as I’m concerned, Hillary Clinton has betrayed feminism. Whatever she says tonight (and I write this before her speech) will do little to bring me back into her camp. I was an early and fairly enthusiastic supporter--I thought it well time for a woman president and I thought she could do the job-- but when she was clearly losing, I... blogcritics.org Wednesday, August 27, 2008Desperately Blaming Biden Download&a...

The Washington Post yet again manages to produce an op-ed only fit to wrap fish in, as neocon Michael Rubin - ex of the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans, the Office of the Secretary of Defense as an advisor to Rummie, political adviser to the Coalition Provisional Authority and unpaid hack for [...] feedburner.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008Day 2: Biden's Late-Night Walk-Through... Late night in the Pepsi Center, after almost all of the delegates had cleared out, and only a few folks in the press corps remained, Sen. Joe Biden came out to do a walk-through for tomorrow night's speech. We happened to be there to catch it, along with a phalanx ... bradblog.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008Global Going Gone I've got a new piece on the home page today about how the Republican Platform Committee handled the delicate issue of global warming: Crafting a platform that marries John McCain to the Republican base on environmental policy is a little like filing a lawsuit against yourself in which you only get to write one brief. By the time you're done, you've scratched through so many lines and penciled in so many revisions that the document is barely legible. I wish I could show you my copy of the energy section of the 2008 Republican Platform's working draft. You wouldn't be able to read it, but you'd see what I mean.
The first thing that's scratched out is "Global Warming and" at the top of a section that used to read "Global Warming and Environmental Protection." ...
In the end, the energy subcommittee did the heavy lifting, allowing the full committee to clear the energy draft today without a fight.
Moments ago, the full committee took up immigration. This will probably be the most cont nationalreview.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008''Brilliant. Flawless.'' A Hillary Clinton supporter outside the Brown Palace has just announced her outrage at the media. 'Maureen Dowd's blistering' column and Howard Kurtz are singled out. Hillary, she argued, did exactly what she needed to do last night. She asked if people voted for her or for the issues. Universal health care matters, the woman said. 'How do they get away with that?' She complained, mildly outraged at the media stories about Hillary supporters going McCain. She's voting for Obama. nationalreview.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008The boy has grown up! I'm standing outside the Brown Palace Hotel here in Denver next to Sean Penn. A man approaches him and asks, Mr. Penn, can I take your picture?' The bearded and shaded Penn replies, 'actually, I rather you not.' Even if you think actors could afford to be more tolerant of such things, I can respect that. And there was no yelling or violence. Even if not politically, the man who used to be married to Madonna has come far. nationalreview.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008Obama's Oratorical Trap I have a new story up on how profoundly, how intensely, how overpoweringly boring nearly everything that is said from the podium here at the Democratic convention is. (Who can forget Brian Schweitzer's inspring, 'We're pursuing coal gasification with carbon sequestration' declaration last night?) The rhetorical deficit has created an enormous appetite for a big show from Barack Obama Thursday night:
But here is Obama's dilemma. The delegates want a peak rhetorical experience. They want to be dazzled. But undecided voters across the country are dying to hear substance from Obama. They know he can wow a crowd; they want to hear more.
At a private focus group held here in Denver a few days ago, several undecided Colorado voters were asked what advice they would give to Obama at the convention.
'Make me believe there's substance behind your charismatic rhetoric,' one said.
'I'm glad you have a dream -- talk to me about reality,' said another.

Don Young has pulled slightly ahead in Alaska's GOP primary -- the current count puts him in front of Lt. Gov Sean Parnell by 145 votes, out of more than 90,000 cast. (Track returns here.) If Young prevails, the GOP will have yet another vulnerable House seat to defend, rather than the slam dunk that Alaska's at-large district ought to be.Here's a story on the returns, which includes this tidbit:
In the last few days, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee dumped some money into the race to bash Parnell, fearing that Parnell could win and be a tougher opponent in the general election. nationalreview.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Archived "Top blogs - Politics" opinions:
