Neverwhere

I'm a recent inductee to the Neil Gaiman admiration society, joining after watching the movie and reading the book "Stardust." After finishing Stardust, I dove into "Neverwhere," a story that takes place in London Above and London Below. London Above is what you see on the telly, movies, etc. London Below is an alternate reality […]

Drill baby, drill!

If it weren't for the fact that the mainstream media storyline is that the burning of fossil fuels is causing the destruction of the planet, then this would likely have led last month's evening newscasts. America is sitting on top of a super massive 200 billion barrel Oil Field that could potentially make America Energy […]

Subtle meanings

This probably shouldn't sway anyone one way or another when it comes to who you vote for come November, but it says something about the silliness of various Congressional resolutions honoring this day or that day and this thing or the other thing. I report this having been the one who pointed out in the […]

Your balanced media

Just for the record, this morning's political roundtable on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopolus" consisted of: George Stephanopolus -- Former Clinton adviser Donna Brazile -- Democratic strategist Robert Reich -- Former Clinton Labor Secretary Paul Krugman -- NYT columnist and left-wing economist George Will -- conservative Washington Post columnist Four against one. One wonders […]

Get your money up front

That's the word on the street if you're dealing with Hillary Clinton's campaign. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months — freeing up cash for critical media buys but also earning the campaign a reputation as something of a deadbeat in some small-business circles. A pair […]

Black liberation "theology"

I've attended decades of Bible studies and Sunday sermons at a variety of churches -- mostly evangelical, but also some "mainline" protestant churches. I've even attended some Catholic masses and once went to Friday prayers at a hole-in-the-wall mosque. Yet, it wasn't until the controversy erupted over Sen. Barack Obama's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, […]

Which is it?

From Sen. Barack Obama's announcement for president, Feb. 10, 2007: Most of all, let's be the generation that never forgets what happened on that September day and confront the terrorists with everything we've got. Politics doesn't have to divide us on this anymore - we can work together to keep our country safe. I've worked […]

Blatant stupidity

Sen. John McCain has released a commercial that's reportedly airing only in New Mexico. Of course, it's on the Web too. The ad is largely biographical. It's positive. It doesn't reference the Democrats nor is there anything in it directed at the Democratic Party. That didn't stop Howard "Foot-in-mouth" Dean from deciding to open his […]
