Dirty Harry’s Place…

This whole melee over McCain repudiating (in language tougher than Obama used to repudiate Farrakhan) that radio talk show host for repeatedly using using Obama’s middle name of “Hussein” to gin up a crowd before a McCain event just shows there’s a tone-deafness in the conservative community.
McCain was absolutely right in disavowing himself from the blowhard. […]

As a Democrat you can only hope your party comes to its collective senses, selects Hillary,  and pulls back from the edge.
But it’s nice that we now  have a place to agree on as I have always said I’d prefer Hillary over Obama, even though I personally respect Obama and have little regard for her. But […]

I have changed my mind.
I believe that Hillary Clinton is, in fact, the best prepared and the best overall personality to be the next president. I have listened to the last two debates between Clinton and Obama and, at least for me, Obama is not ready. He will be–given time and experience in the Senate, […]

Anyone who watched Obama debate Hillary last night knows we’re going to be up against it in the general election. Obviously sensitive to  calls for subtance, Obama was not only quite substantive but in command of the facts when it came to both what he wants to do and what his opponents plans are.
More troubling, […]

The most accurate poll has McCain beating Obama by 4-pts nationally and Obama’s negatives are soaring to Hillary-levels:
Nationwide, Obama is viewed favorably by 53% and unfavorably by 45%. McCain’s numbers are 55% favorable, 42% unfavorable. Clinton earns positive reviews from 49% of Likely Voters nationwide and negative assessments from 49%
Those are Obama’s negatives before a […]

Whatever goodwill Hillary won during her gracious closing statement in last week’s debate has vanished — burned up in a negative attack gone glaringly ugly. Hillary knows she can’t win this time and is now determined to take Obama down with her. If Obama wins the presidency in 2008 she knows her lifelong aspiration of becoming president […]

The best pollster in the country shows the blue state of Wisconsin virtually tied between McCain and Jesus-I mean, Obama:
Barack Obama and John McCain are essentially tied in the contest to win Wisconsin’s ten Electoral College votes in November. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds Obama attracting 44% of the vote while McCain picks up […]

As I write this there’s an uglier than ugly scandal brewing about Barack Obama. One I don’t believe for a second. One I won’t link to because I won’t be a part of spreading rumor. But this rumor about Obama has more credibility than the rumor the New York Times reported about John McCain.  Unlike the […]

Our phone converstaion yesterday was invigorating but unfortunately no transcript exists for our blog — what say we debate the Iraq War here?
Thoughts…?

I love Ralph Nader and wish him well.
Don’t get me wrong he’s a socialist kook and pure narcissist, but he takes votes from Democrats.
God bless you, Ralph Nader.

 During WWII there were probably hundreds of smaller, lesser-known war films released as medium-budget programmers with simple plots, plenty of action, and B-actors like Van Johnson and Dana Andrews. Designed to both turn a profit and back the war effort, these were perfectly entertaining time killers, nothing special but produced with good intentions. Believe it or not, […]

Harry here… 
This couldn’t have come at a better time. No doubt, the Times intended to sit on the story until the Friday before the November election, but with The New Republic about to do a story on it, the Times was forced to pull the trigger early.
Like Dan Rather’s forged memos this stuff helps us. […]

No, Harry, NOT Obama’s daughters, the minister’s daughters gave the award.
And, at least as far as the last eight years are concerned, and as far as race/gender equity in this country are concerned, this is the first time I can say I am beginning to be proud of this country. There have been little steps along the way, […]

Michelle Obama:
“Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation.”
The Hot Little Number I Call Mrs. Harry loves me, but would never say something as outright creepy as that.
And I do mean […]

In my last post I mentioned why Hillary can’t lay a glove on Obama but how we could. And I offer this as proof of how unprepared Obama is to take on the right-wing attack machine.
Michelle Obama says something impossibly stupid and equally revealing:
“Let me tell you, for the first time in my adult life, […]

Excellent post that I think once again shows your reasonable streak and why at heart you’re a right-winger like me. I had no idea Obama’s daughters had been a part of the Farrakhan award ceremony. This makes it a tad difficult to distance himself, no? I mean these are young girls, not adults making their […]

Of all the “bad things” that Obama has allegedly done, or done and apologized for, only one troubles me. That thing is his failing to speak out strongly and precisely against a church magazine’s reprehensible award to the equally reprehensible Louis Farrakhan. Barack Obama was no more responsible for this award than I am, but […]

The bad news for Democrats, should Obama be their nominee, is that a large majority of Hillary voters — voters rejecting Barack Obama — are Reagan Democrats; Democrats who might very easily go for a McCain:
Clinton beat Obama among white voters over 45 in Virginia, and trounced him among those 60 and older. In Maryland, […]

We can’t fire the Obama’s speechwriters because Obama writes his own speeches and already has admitted he should’ve credited the man who he “borrowed” it from.
I don’t think there’s fire in any of this news, but when you have a candidate with no experience, no resume, and running on the theme of “trust me” this […]

Plagiarism: Fire the staffer who wrote the speech. and chalk up one more silly, grasping Clinton smear to Hillary’s floundering campaign.
Land “deal”: Nothing hidden here. Contact the real estate agent, papers will be open to public view, paid more than the appraisal. Closing on the same day? Good grief, even I have done that on […]

This film asks a lot. First we have to get past eleven-year-old Abigail Breslin playing it sit-commy cute when her character’s introduced repeating the words “penis” and “vagina” non-stop for the first ten-minutes, and then we have to suck it up and forgive her father Will (Ryan Reynolds) for telling young daughter a bedtime story detailing his […]

The worm is turning and Obama’s in deep trouble, even if he doesn’t know it — even if the public doesn’t know it, even if you don’t know it.
Obama has no resume and is running on judgement, honesty, and poise. Without a resume Obama’s saying “trust me.” When you run for President under those conditions […]

 What a delightful little surprise this turned out to be. If there’s someone out there who loathes fantasy films more than yours truly, I haven’t met them, but The Spiderwick Chronicles, unlike the tedious Harry Potter series, gets it exactly right: the mythologly serves the plot instead of the other way around.
Here the mythology is nothing more […]

A point by point rebuttal:
What fun it is to see you and your fellow Republicans begin to almost, but not quite, sort of, kind of get behind Hillary because you are so very afraid of an Obama candidacy. Yes, anything can happen in two weeks–Obama can win in both Ohio and Texas and where will […]

Joe Biden’s hoping to shove an Obama sponsored bill through the Senate so Obama has something, anything to burnish his very hollow resume. And what is it? A global tax on Americans. No really:
Don’t look now, but Barack Obama has sponsored a bill that’s on the fast track to becoming law, that could impose an […]
