Jesse Jackson Jr. and Blago: Politicians as Usual

8 Comments | Posted December 15, 2008 | 02:22 PM (EST)


For the record, Jesse Jackson, Jr. did not offer a million dollars for Obama's Senate seat. If the Blagojevich phone calls are indicative of Jackson's position, he (or an emissary) offered to help raise a million dollars for Blagojevich's campaign. How is this worse than any of the rich donors...

First off let me say that racial profiling is inherently racist, unjust and does not solve problems, whether they be crime, drugs terrorism or immigration.

Sasha and Malia Obama Should Not Go on Hannah Montana

25 Comments | Posted November 13, 2008 | 04:32 PM (EST)


Recently Bill Ray Cyrus and the producers of Hannah Montana both publicly requested that Sasha and Malia be guests on Malia's favorite show, Hannah Montana. This strikes me as a cynical attempt to capitalize on the recent popularity of the first daughters.

The Obama daughters have already generated an...

What Obama Can Learn from The Wire

18 Comments | Posted November 11, 2008 | 04:32 PM (EST)
