Floor Fights In Denver

Many in the political commentary class have begun to slip back to a narrative that Clinton is all but sunk mathematically.  Many have talked about whether she could be convinced to drop out, or will the remaining primaries cause her to.  It’s my opinion that Clinton intends to take the nomination to a floor fight [...]

On The Continuing Gore Speculation

Having a discussion with one of our contributors about the Gore speculation, he stated, “Seriously, if Gore is the “savior” nominee then I’m going to assume that the Democratic Party is dead.” Now why would this be the case?

A Long Iraq War Rant

This space has been on record as being against the Iraq war and it’s architects from the beginning. The writing that became this blog actually began as a series of letters to the editor of a major Florida newspaper registering opposition to the invasion. We are not against any war. The [...]

What’s Done Is Done

Please take a look at this great PBS documentary about the Iraq war that you can watch online if you did not catch it last night. This is a thorough look from all sides about the run-up and aftermath of the Iraq war. Too many times we’re told what’s done is done and [...]
