Eric wrote this earlier today in reaction to Obama’s speech about race.
I got the sense today that Barack Obama was tired. Tired of the hatred and fear-mongering insanity that has gripped not just Republicans, but Democrats as well. I know I get tired when I have to endure the same types of slurs I saw […]

Obama delivered the “big race speech” today. It was, of course, great. I am happy to hear him take the issue head on and show the leadership so many are asking of the future nominee of the Democratic Party for President of the United States. He’s stepping up. He always knew […]

I’m beginning to think there is a flatal flaw in religion if there are so many out there who spout the most horrendous of slurs and vulgarity during time when they should be inspiring their “flock” with words of divine inspiration. This Manning guy is nuts. He sounds like a Hillary (and Bill) […]

They don’t call him Slick Willy for nothing. Bill Clinton, in an attempt to re-write history, tries to claim that his statement in South Carolina was not playing the race card. Funny thing is, he just can’t resist the temptation to do it again:
(CNN) — Former President Bill Clinton defended his role in […]

(CNN) — A majority of Democrats would like to see Barack Obama rather than Hillary Clinton win their party’s presidential nomination, according to a national poll out Monday.
Fifty-two percent of registered Democrats questioned in a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey say the senator from Illinois is their choice for president, with 45 percent supporting Clinton.
The […]

Via Wired:
Access to YouTube.com, usually readily available in China, was blocked after videos appeared on the site Saturday showing foreign news reports about the Lhasa demonstrations, montages of photos and scenes from Tibet-related protests abroad.
The internet is a tremendous tool for democratization. While access, even in the US, is not yet universal, if some […]

I’d like to provide some balance to the portrayal of Jeremiah Wright in the press. It is indisputable that he’s had several well-publicized moments of over-the-top outspokenness, and that Obama is being hammered for this. Asking questions after such video appears is, in fact, good and necessary. But, perhaps one should look […]

I’m just watching last night’s SNL on the Tivo and it’s full of political stuff. But by far the best segment was this rant by Tracy Morgan about Barack Obama…
“Bitch may be the new Black, but Black is the new President, Bitch”

Re: Keystone Test: Obama Losing Ground [Get ready for a good one.]
The path to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue goes through Pennsylvania so if Barack Obama can’t win there, how will he win the general election?
[Answer: I suppose by holding obviously Democratic states like California and New […]

Now hold on now. Don’t get too excited or ahead of yourself. If you’ve already started to comment, stop.
I don’t mean motherfucker in the way you may think I do. There are several meanings based on context and connotations that you can apply to the term motherfucker.
For instance, […]

Found this perusing dee Interwebs. Not even sure who to give credit to. Had to watch it twice to get it fully. Love it though. Click the thumbnail to see the animation:

It’s not often that two things I’m fairly well addicted to converge, but this might be it. I love politics - can’t stay away from it no matter how hard I try. This should be fairly well known to those who have been reading PB over the course of the last 2 1/2 […]

Remember the Tilt-A-Whirl? That fair ride that you always loved - right before you got on it. Looked like a GREAT idea, right? Spinning around as fast as you can, your cart independent of the others who were all spinning around the same axis. Fun times. Until you got spun […]

Looking like a 20 point smackdown in Mississippi. This, Wyoming, and the underreported delegate WIN in Texas nullifies anything Hillary did in Ohio on March 4th. It’s a wash to net pickup for Obama. One firewall down. One to go. Moving on to Pennsylvania. The next “big state”. […]

First I heard of it was a Tweet from the Obama campaign:
Energized by the news of winning Mississippi. We’ve won the most states, the most votes and the most delegates.
CNN has not called it and their numbers are CNN just called it.
