I caucused for Barack Obama here in Minnesota, but held no bad feelings for Hillary Clinton. That's just changed. I'll still vote for her in November should she win the Democratic nomination, but I'll have to hold my nose.

As I was driving back to my office today, I heard a radio news story reporting that Congressman Mark Kennedy, who represents Minnesota's 6th District and is the Republican candidate for Minnesota's open U.S. Senate seat, today announced his support for Joe Lieberman's "Independent" candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut.

This plays along with the Rove/Bush/Cheney political spin on Lieberman's loss in the Connecticut Democratic primary -- extreme liberal, viciously partisan, "pre 9/11 mindset" elements have "hijacked" the Democratic party and are "purging" (shades of Stalin!) all the "reasonable, moderate, bi-partisan" folks like good ol' Joe Lieberman. Soon, I imagine that Amy Klobuchar, the Democratic Senate candidate, will be faced with demands from Kennedy and his minions that she announce whether she supports that "extremist anti-war, weak defense" candidate Ned Lamont rather than "strong anti-terrorist, non-partisan" Joe.

In these days of the Culture of Corruption and rampant Republican right-wing religious hypocrisy, my headline looks best suited for The National Enquirer or Weekly World News, something along the lines of "Bigfoot found living under suburban couple's back porch," but -- believe it or not -- a Republican Member of Congress has actually done something kind and decent for another human being who is neither family member, big campaign donor, fat-cat lobbyist, oil company executive, nor Evangelical Christian leader, but is (gasp!) a liberal Democratic Congressman hailing from the most storied and powerful liberal Democratic dynasty in American history!

Here are some entries in what appears to be the Republicans' creed and, interesting enough, some sterling examples of cognitive dissonance and double think: Read More

The American Academy of Diplomacy (LINK) awarded its 2005 Arthur Ross Media Award to Jim Boyd the deputy editorial page editor for the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota Star Tribune ("Strib") last week at a ceremony held at the U.S. State Department. Among previous winners are Jim Lehrer of PBS and Anne Garrels of National Public Radio. The Academy cited Boyd's

"critical, perceptive and nonpartisan commentary on the policies of governments and international organizations, reflecting exhaustive research, a willingness to tell truth to power and a consistent appreciation for the importance of cooperation among nations."

This diary isn't just a "look at this!" note; I actually have a more general point to explore below the flip: Read More
