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 […]

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) […]

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 […]

Funniest damned thing to come along since Naugle took a driver to a Bob Taft bobblehead.
Hillary in the house!
Hillary in the White House!

Notice how he says “we need a woman to clean it up”. Is that sexist?
It will be interesting to see if this one gets pulled. Already 78k […]

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 […]

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 […]

Gonna have to get some distance now Hillz. Wowzers!
Placid of demeanor but pointed in his rhetoric, Jackson struck out repeatedly today against those who suggest his race has been an asset in the campaign. President Reagan suggested Tuesday that people don’t ask Jackson tough questions because of his race. And former representative Geraldine A. […]

So here’s a question. How is one to convince us she’s ready to serve in the highest office of the nation - ready to serve on day one - when her campaign has shown a complete lack of readiness?
Her campaign has leaned heavily on existing on-the-ground infrastructure and has had institutional advantage […]

Wow. Just Wow. (ht Kos)
Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let’s address reality and the problems we’re facing in this world, you’re accused of being racist, so you have to shut up. Racism works in two different directions. I really think […]

Great stuff. Worth a full read.
Hillary says:
Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one, a claim for which she’s taking […]

Axelrod seems to think so:
Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, grouped former Rep. Geraldine Ferraro’s suggestion that Obama owes some part of his success to the fact that he’s black with other gaffes by Clinton backers Robert Johnson and Bill Shaheen, and with Clinton’s “own inexplicable unwillingness” to flatly deny that Obama is a Muslim in […]

Does the name Ribby Goodfellow ring a bell? Probably not.
Does this help?

Probably not. How about this?

No? Well, Ribby Goodfellow was a Hillary staffer who dressed up in Uncle Sam gear to taunt Rick Lazio, Hillary’s opponent in her 2000 race for the Senate. Seems Rick wouldn’t release his tax […]

It’s. Just. Getting. Old.
Geraldine Ferraro, former VP candidate and current member of Hillary’s finance committee on Obama:
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position,” she continued. “And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very […]
