Morning Awful: Komen Won’t Cure
Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a charity that has been providing breast cancer screening at Planned Parenthood clinics for years, decided to let poor women die rather than be connected to the organization anymore. The reason? A congressional “investigation:” … Continue reading
Artur Davis is Still Mad at Alabama
As a former enthusiastic supporter of Artur Davis who has been dismayed by his actions since 2009, I’m rather appalled by this naked bid for K-Street relevance. He should just come out and claim he was robbed of his rightful … Continue reading
Steve Raby For Congress
This blog is endorsing Steve Raby in the general election for Alabama’s fifth Congressional district. While I like Mo Brooks and admire his fortitude in a long, shoe-leather campaign, his supporters scare me and his entire agenda seems to consist … Continue reading
POLITICO Slips The Surly Bonds Of Earth
The website-that-shall-not-be-linked found a way for the defeat of Artur Davis to be a defeat for Obama. With the headline “Short Obama coattails for black pol,” POLITICO opined: The stunning defeat suffered by Rep. Artur Davis — one of the … Continue reading
Teabaggers Failing, GOP Flailing
I’ll credit Brad Friedman for being the most insightful Twitter pundit last night. Republican races in Kentucky and Arkansas saw fewer votes than the Democratic contests; Joe Sestak, who was the toast of Netroots Nation last year, beat Arlen Specter. … Continue reading

Republicans have blinked on appointments. The wheat-from-chaff technique requires a hard shake every now and then: “Mitch, this is unprecedented,” the president said, gesturing forcefully on the Cabinet Room table, according to aides. “If you don’t move any, I’m going … Continue reading
My First “Professional” Interview
I wore a suit and told them my press credential was in the mail. Which is even true. I have to say, overall Taze (pronounced “taz”) is a very encouraging candidate. I want to meet the other candidates now and offer … Continue reading
Couldn’t See This Coming
How tone-deaf is the GOP? They’re actively chasing Wall Street money on an anti-reform agenda in the wake of the biggest bailout in world history. Which is about as stupid as Mondale’s pledge to raise taxes, because the Democrats are … Continue reading
Illinois Governor’s Race
Illinois incumbent governor and Democrat Pat Quinn leads by a thin margin with a few thousand ballots left to count; with the vote spread over four candidates, the GOP primary race is too close to call. Upshot: I predict exit … Continue reading
