Oh Politic Where Art Thou?

If you weren’t paying attention to my Asides feature, you may not have noticed that me and my conservative, house-church nemesis (tongue-in-cheek) Derek got into a little tiff this weekend over some political stuff. I actually really like Derek and have gone to a movie with him, his brother, and a friend. As a complete [...]

John Edwards Drops Out

The real question will be whether he was legit in developing his voice and backbone. I still think it’s funny how much he changed over the past 12-18 months. Now if Hillary jumps out to a lead, will he endorse her to snag vice-president. Or will he stick to his guns and continue to critique [...]

Why I Won’t Give Money To A Campaign

Let me just say up front, I’ve got no problem if you support a candidate financially. As a matter of fact I know many people who contribute to campaigns and these people are quite nice. And they believe, for good reason, that their contributions play a viable roll in the political process.
However, as for me [...]

Hillary Clinton

This doesn’t surprise me. And by the way, it wouldn’t surprise me if we found out every candidate does this.
I’m just not sure what the infatuation is with Hillary. I know that a great majority of her support is coming from donors and friends of Bill. And when you’re the president for 8 years, you [...]

Right-Wing Facebook

This is a pretty funny parody that these guys have going poking fun at the Republican candidates. Their site is here but there is a screen cap below. I wish someone would start one for the Democrats.
Hillary’s could say:
Hillary Clinton left the group “Universal Health Care”.
Hillary Clinton joined the group “Kaiser Permanente Has Me In [...]

Idiot’s Guide to Voting: or how to vote not based on name

This is sort of the idiot’s guide to voting. It’s not nuanced enough when you only have 4 black and white multiple choice answers. But nonetheless . . . an interesting little quiz. There are only 10 questions. Give it a try.

Obama/Usher ‘08

I hate to be critical of the man formerly known as Barack Obama (he’s currently undergoing a transformation into a politician) but I got the below email a few minutes ago and it turns out that he’s going to be in Atlanta later on in the month and will be joined by Usher and Dominique [...]

Kucinnich, Health Care, & The Nature of Government

Who would have thought this little guy would stir up so much conversation. It may be too late at this point, but we’re over 30 comments strong back on this post from the weekend. It may be too late or you may not be interested in joining the fray, but a few of us are [...]

Move Over Barack, Dennis Kucinich Is Bringing It

I really, really like Barack Obama. I think he is engaging, warm, intelligent, and a leader. I also think that he would be a great diplomatic presence at a time in history when America needs to repair it’s image to the global community. I like his platform, except for his health care plan, which I [...]
