Well, the inevitable happened - Karl Rove has tendered (interesting word “tender”) his resignation from the White House, and the sharks in the media both mainstream and otherwise are circling looking for some trace of blood upon which to strike.  According to the Wall Street Journal, Rove will leave his 1600 Pennsylvannia Avenue gig by […]

Pass the turkey, the stuffing and…
the absentee ballots?
That very well could be the new Thanksgiving tradition if you’re from New Hampshire and plan on celebrating the annual family gathering somewhere other than your own homestead.
Here in South Carolina (where we’re rounding out a few days of r’n’r), the big news this morning in political circles is […]

By luck I find myself along with my family in the Charleston, South Carolina area getting a little r ‘n’ r (of course lucky us it’s supposed to be in the 100 degree zone the whole time we’re here), and that affords me the chance to enjoy a little southern hospitality and relax.

Even though I believe that Moyers provides a very […]

Hmmm… big donors paying the county party stool’s salary because the party can’t raise the funds legitimately.  Gee that sounds familiar. 
I wonder if Jacobson pledged to be a “full-time” chairman?

Well the emails are already starting to roll in from the folks who think I was being unfair to Elizabeth Edwards in characterizing yesterday’s Hardball estrogen-laced verbal arm wrestling match with Ann Coulter as a stunt.
Here’s my favorite from 3:56 this morning:
How dare you question Elizabeth’s reasons for calling the Hardball program yesterday?  Any mother in […]

Ann Coulter’s blithering statements designed to get attention, or Elizabeth Edwards calling Hardball to “politely ask” Coulter to stop making the statements?

I had a lot of respect for Elizabeth Edwards.  I never had respect for Ann Coulter…
