Here's what the Obama camp and the Democrats need to do to win this election. It is simple advice that unfortunately Democrats never heed to during a national election

OK, it did take a black guy to do this but the New York Times finally called out the McCain camp on their subtle use of racism in their ads. Now, of course, all the media stories are of the "McCain Blasts NYT Editor" variety, not about the real issue, that being McCain showing Obama with two white women.

McCain runs an ad that shows Obama and then shows two pretty white women and this isn't racist? It is the same thing the GOP did to Harold Ford.

For the past few years I have sent this essay to my friends as a New Year's salutation. I am now sending it to you. In its entirety. I don't think the the publisher would mind. The author died this year so maybe it is a good time to discontinue the tradition. Then again, maybe not.

What do YOU think?

So if Karl Rove was running the DNC he would make Evolution the main issue in the 2008 races. It is the perfect wedge issue for the Democrats: 2/3rds of Dems and Independants "believe" in it. 1/3 of Republicans do.

OMI God look at this AP piece. What a load of shit. What really sets me off is the prime Iraq war critic they site is Kenneth Pollack.

Yes, the same Kenneth Pollack who penned the fictional screed:

"The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq"

For the feckless war-enabling Bush-apologist wing of the GOP that is up for re-election in 2008 Liddy Dole just gave us a good insight into what their messaging will be with regard to the disastrous occupation of Iraq.

Hundreds of students and faculty erupted in a chorus of boos Friday when President Bush's former chief of staff Andrew Card rose to accept his honorary doctorate in public service at the University of Massachusetts, blaming him in part for the Iraq war.

The boos and catcalls -- including those from faculty who stood on stage with Card -- drowned out Provost Charlena Seymour's remarks as she awarded the degree.

The protests were mainly contained to an area in the back of the campus arena and many of the faculty on stage who joined the three- to four- minute outburst.

One faculty member on stage held a sign: "Card -- no honor, no degree." Another sign said "War criminals go home."

A Web site operated by the Alabama Department of Homeland Security identified gay rights organizations and anti-abortion groups among those that could include terrorists.

That Web site has been removed from the Internet after the agency received complaints about the site.

It had listed different types of terrorists, including "single issue terrorists," which it said can come from groups that rally behind specific causes.

Those listed as possibly spawning terrorists:
Environmentalists.
Anti-genetic activists.
Animal rights advocates.
Opponents of abortion.
Anti-war activists.
Gay rights supporters.

Have these guys ever had a business dealing that was above the board?

Disgusting.

In a letter dated April 13, Sen. David Vitter, R-La., called on the Corps to look into how the politically connected company got the post-Hurricane Katrina contract. MWI employed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, President Bush's brother, to market its pumps during the 1980s, and top MWI officials have been major contributors to the Republican Party.

Below is excerpted from Lee Iacocca's new book: "Where have all the Leaders Gone?"

Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car.

Ok, so the right wing can't let Gore have a few minutes of glory without leveling an unsubstantiated vicious attack from a group of nobody hillbillies about a matter that is relatively inconsequential (kilowatts per hour). And Gore's (the left's) response is typically pin-headed, nuanced and boring.
