Political, Legal & Financial Muddles
The political scene is getting more and more important to the average American, whether they know it or not. At the same time, issues are getting more and more muddled.
As the countdown to the Democratic National convention ticks on, Hillary Clinton has joined Barack Obama on his fundraising tour. My understanding is that, in return for [...]
Obama Changes his Mind about Money
The Washington Post was just one of several media outlets that broke the news about Barack Obama’s plans for funding his campaign for POTUS.
“Sen. Barack Obama has switched course on general-election funding, announcing this morning that he would reject public financing and raise every dime for the fall campaign on his own.”
“The announcement was widely [...]
Hillary WHOMPS Obama in WV!
Anyone who has watched the David Letterman show of late, has heard him talk about the never-ending campaign to the Presidential election. According to Letterman,
“The election is three years from now. After the USA primaries, then they go to Canada for the Canadian primaries, and then to Europe, for the European primaries.”
While that may be [...]
Democrats are in Trouble!
O.K. North Carolina and Indiana primaries are over. To the surprise of no one, John McCain won in both states. No REALLY! The only real contest remaining in the presidential race is on the Democrat’s side. And, as expected, Barack Obama won in North Carolina, while Hillary Clinton won (by a narrow margin) in Indiana.
Since I [...]
Politics and Money
Does it always boil down to money? Seems to as far as politics are concerned.
The Washington Post reports today that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is being outspent by Barack Obama’s by as much as six to one in some cases.
It seems that Obama’s campaign has been raking in the contributions at better than twice the rate [...]

Outrage — Obama to Supremes — Take a Hike!
The Obama File is reporting Obama and the Democratic National Convention (DNC) have let a December 1st deadline slip by without responding to Pennsylvania attorney Philip J. Berg’s petition for writ of certiorari demanding Obama produce a legitimate birth certificate to document his eligibility for office. Berg filed his petition on October 30th, and according to procedure, a response from the defendants was due today. But when contacted, U.S. Supreme Court and the Solicitor General’s Offi

YOU DECIDE: Did Obama Snub Kerry?
Massachusetts senator and former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry was left out of the mix on Monday when President-elect Obama announced members of his national security team. About two-thirds of the Obama cabinet has now been named. Kerry — who ran for president in 2004 and lost by 34 electoral votes — made Obama the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention that year, helping make Obama, who was running for Senate in Illinois, a rising star within his party. This y

Do you think Edward Kennedy still loves the sea? The old man and the sea. And his son. Normally, we see Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy in the Senate, speaking fire, or at the Democratic National Convention last summer. Or, at other times this year, in an ambulance en route to a hospital. The iconic liberal senator is suffering from a malignant brain tumor.

Best Shows of 2008
:: Brian F. Johnson :: Publisher/Editor :: :: Rage Against the Machine :: :: Denver Coliseum :: August 27 :: Held during the Democratic National Convention, this show goes down in my book as not only one of the best shows of 2008, but as one of the best shows I’ve ever seen — period. This was mid-day in a hot Coliseum, with no alcohol sales, and the crowd didn’t mind one bit once Rage stepped in front of the lights. Rage absolutely killed it. They were furious, loud and overflowing with angs
