The 2008 presidential election looked like the best of all possible worlds for the Democrats. Bush is hugely unpopular. The economy appears on a downward slide. U.S. troops are still in Iraq. The only additional thing they could've asked for was for the GOP to nominate Dick Cheney. And then Barack Obama happened. Obama was […]
I must confess that I was only marginally awake when Sen. Barack Obama held his press conference Monday afternoon (EDT) to announce that he had finally seen the light and discovered that his pastor was kinda wacky. Obama said he was "shocked'' by [the Rev. Jeremiah] Wright's statements during a speech at the National Press […]
The media assault started Friday with a softball appearance on PBS' "Bill Moyers Journal." How softball? BILL MOYERS: When I hear the word "black liberation theology" being the interpretation of scripture from the oppressed, I think well, that's the Jewish story-- REVEREND WRIGHT: Exactly, exactly.

Jeremiah Wright, is too much for McCain. "They're not listening to me because they're out of touch with reality and the Republican Party. […]
Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Michael Ramirez of Investors Business Daily nails our former president.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is catching some flak for a "Bible" quote that some people say never actually appears in the Bible. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is fond of quoting a particular passage of Scripture. The quote, however, does not appear in the Bible and is "fictional," according to biblical scholars.

The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof has a pretty good article on the Democrats and their less-than-wise opposition to the Colombia free trade pact. I encourage you to read it.
