From the Atlantic two weeks ago:
Three of the five Justices in the majority — John Paul Stevens (age 88), Ruth Bader Ginsburg (age 75) and David Souter (age 68) — are widely expected by court observers to retire or otherwise leave the Court in the first term of the next President. By contrast, the four [...]
If you’re listening to the political hype about the “Gas Tax Holiday” you know about this program that’s proposed initially by McCain (video) and backed by McCain and Hillary (opposed by Obama), which offers a break (3 months) from paying the taxes on gasoline through the summer - designed on the surface to ease the [...]

I think I just posted on how the American people dislike politicing as a reason why they don’t get more involved… It doesn’t help when you have mass media fuck up the whole process and promote superficial gossip and pedestrian issues in their “debate” that have already been hashed out for months and of which [...]

Working to achieve a vision
To protect the working people
And bring us all together in this great nation
Viva Obama! Viva Obama!
Families [...]

…with Bill pulling the strings and puppeting the rhetoric. Then the Clinton campaign has the gal to come out and say Obama is “plagiarizing” speeches from his friend Deval Patrick’s speech (the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts). Give me a fucking break, these guys are grabbing at false straws here. Deval is [...]

What is experience? Much of the Hilll campaign against Obama is that he doesn’t have the experience and that her tenure in the big House is a big advantage to her credibility as the future president of the US (”I was in the White House for 8 years.” - HRC). Well yeah, and [...]
