I’ve been wrestling a little with how I feel about Caroline Kenndy’s bid for Hillary Clinton’s empty Senate seat. You know, on one hand, she’s a brilliant Harvard-educated lawyer, she comes from a family that epitomizes American politics, she’s promoted so many non-profit causes, but most importantly, she is also a total babe.
But sometimes it’s [...]

Blago-whatever

Sorry about the lack of updates around here. I recently started a new job at a newspaper (a newspaper that publicly endorsed Obama nonetheless!), and while I would update from the office, I’m not sure the old Windows 95 computers can withstand me using WordPress.

Instead of popular votes for the presidency, we have the electoral college. Originally the House of Representatives was the only branch of government to be elected directly by the people, the Senate was appointed by the states.

McCain Is Still A Loser

So, it’s pretty much confirmed that John McCain is going to travel soon to Georgia to campaign for Saxby Chambliss, blatant racist and kooky old man extraordinaire. Now, sure there is his scary assertion that “The other folks are voting” — re: African Americans. But is McCain so much of a sore loser that he [...]
