Goldberg: “The Will of the Uninformed”
The Virginian Pilot reprinted an article today written by Jonah Goldberg about politics and polls. Personally, I think the original headline is much better than the one the Pilot used. Nevertheless, it is the message that is most important: ...this is a column about how confused and at times idiotic the United States is about … Continue reading Goldberg: “The Will of the Uninformed”
Democratic debate followup
Yeah, I know it's been a few days but I'm playing catch up with all my reading. Anyway, one of the best writeups I've seen is this one. The writer, Kevin Hasset, seems to have captured my thoughts on the debate pretty well. My favorite part: Bill Richardson: It seems that every primary season some … Continue reading Democratic debate followup
Obama takes MySpace page
It seems that Barack Obama's campaign has taken the MySpace page that a supporter started and ran for 2 1/2 years. The page had 160,000 "friends" but the campaign became uncomfortable with an outsider running it. So they asked for it and the guy running it, Joe Anthony, said sure - for a price. MySpace … Continue reading Obama takes MySpace page
The Golden Rule of Free Speech
I haven't said much about the Don Imus situation because, frankly, I saw the market working as it should. Imus made a stupid comment and paid for it by losing his job. The Washington Post had an article yesterday about what's going on with women in the blogsphere. I've been peripherally aware of some of … Continue reading The Golden Rule of Free Speech
“I’d be an architect”
So said a couple of the candidates for president. Fourteen of them - 7 Democrats and 7 Republicans - answered an AP questionnaire about their "personal side." One of the questions was what their career choice would be if they weren't in politics. Obviously, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo didn't understand the question. His answer? President. … Continue reading “I’d be an architect”
Got $90K? You, too, can run for POTUS
If it only took $90,107 to run for president, I think there would be a lot more contenders. Heck I might even throw my hat in the ring at that price 😉 Former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore is just delusional. Does he think that by announcing his run people are going to flock to his … Continue reading Got $90K? You, too, can run for POTUS
Feb 12, 2008: Bust or boon?
Hugh Lessig has a good article on Virginia's role in selecting presidential nominees, set for February 12, 2008. It is Feb. 12, 2008, and national attention is riveted on Virginia. Presidential nominations for both parties hang in the balance. Front-runners have lavished attention on voters, who now rush to the polls. More likely, some say, … Continue reading Feb 12, 2008: Bust or boon?
Gore running?
Seems that some friends of Al Gore are putting together a team for a new run: One of his former campaign team said: "I was asked whether I would be available towards the end of the year if I am needed. They know he has not ruled out running and if he decides to jump … Continue reading Gore running?
