Missives From the Reality-Based World
Here’s the AP on McCain. No shit. John McCain embraces and expels Washington like an accordion player belting out a song. Squeeze in and he touts his vast knowledge of the capital city. Draw out and he casts himself a reformer bent on changing its ways. […] Squeeze in, and he’s the new capital tour guide for his running […]
Isn’t it obvious? It’s because no one in white America wants to vote for a nigger.

Ford POS with rusted-out body, gas-heavy exhaust mix and a misfiring cylinder rolled up to the local convenience store. Three beer-bellied bearded men in jeans and a white trash woman piled out. On the passenger side door was the blazon, Western Conservative Alliance. This is what we’re up against. This is the base that got Bush elected. This […]
McCain, for wanting to increase offshore drilling in Florida, or Obama, for wanting to send out a $1,000-per-taxpayer “emergency” rebate check? Offshore drilling isn’t going to lower fuel costs in the short term. Reining in speculators might help. Oh, and not wasting petroleum to fuel ground and air assault vehicles in the name of pressing […]
Much hay in the liberalosphere has been made in the last few days over Barack Obama’s apparent willingness to forward the Bush administration’s “faith-based” charity program. There are distinct tones of outrage and betrayal, and while I most certainly agree that the Fed putting money into any religious charity is a recipe for disaster (this is just […]
I’m not beating the drum for Barack, really I’m not. I liked Kucinich more than all the other candidates combined. (Even more now that he’s read articles of impeachment against the Retard in Chief. Really.) My objections to Hillary were mainly rooted in the fact that, particularly in the last month or two, she behaved more […]
With increasing likelihood, that’s all there may be left to Hillary Clinton’s campaign as soon as next week. In the face of demands from Clinton’s attorneys that delegates from Michigan and Florida be assigned to the New York Senator’s ailing campaign, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are urging a finalizing decision after the last round of primaries […]
In the last few months my meditation practice has deepened considerably. In November, during a day-long at-home retreat I decided to stop pining for a practice group here in this little town I live in, and actually inaugurate one. The result, Sangha, has had mixed attendance. Some Sundays I have one or two people. Some Sundays I have none. (Those are […]
Last year I wrote that I wouldn’t say anything more about Obama unless I had to. Yeah, well. The Dem primaries are really bringing out a stack of ugly, aren’t they? Apart from the locker-room thinking that goes toward disparaging Edwards or Kucinich, we’ve got the usual gang of inbreds and their comments on Clinton and Obama. It’s funny, in […]
