Just woke up this morning and was treated to a most delightful op-ed piece on my local newspaper's website from the one and only Stephen Colbert. As you may know, Colbert's SuperPAC attempted to buy the naming rights for the South Carolina Republican primary and almost talked the fools into it. His piece this morning tells the sordid tale in all of its glory, and with lines such as "We would finally raise democracy to the same level as the Tostitos™ Fiesta Bowl and Kardashian™ weddings" he makes his point perfectly. Definitely worth a read, especially if you ever wanted to know both of South Carolina's state mottoes!

As a white male living in the South, the one thing I can't stand is racists and most importantly THOSE WHO ENABLE THEM. That is really where this site has gone downhill - allowing a gang of folks to plan hiderates and uprates offsite for the express purpose of silencing those who either fight against racist trolls or support the Democratic president on a Democratic blog. The best thing is they won't use racist language themselves, rather they make sure racists are coddled. Enough.

I'll be back next week and see if things are better.

As we all know, the US economy is a wreck. Unemployment up, consumption down, credit tightening, foreclosures rising etc. Hard times are coming, and in true Keynesian fashion, we need some sort of government stimulus to prime the pump and keep us and the rest of the world afloat. At the moment, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Congressional leadership want to come back to Washington and do something, even with the lamest of ducks looming with a veto pen gripped in his clueless hands. President-elect Obama understands the urgency of the situation, and it seems he is moving behind the scenes to get something done. What he is doing, however, may be a sign of pure political genius, and forebodes greatness in the years to come.

So it appears that both Sens. Obama and McCain will be commemorating the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks at Ground Zero in NYC together http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/... . I'm not entirely sure of the politics of this, but it does make me feel a little better about the country.

I don't know if if anyone else has seen this, http://www.nytimes.com/... but it is amazing. It is an article now being frontpaged on the NYT website, but the headline is so misleading as to make me cry.

It seems that the reporter interviewed 3 people to make the case that Obama is losing the youth vote. Say what? Let me tell you a story...

Even though I am a rapidly-approaching middle age white man, a woman's right to choose whether or not to be pregnant has always been one of my major issues. I believe it is one of the key marks of a society that values individual decision making and that values women as human beings, not as subservient baby production units. That is why I believe Gov. Sarah Palin's extreme views on choice must become one of the major issues in this most important campaign, and why simplifying the argument as one of choice will end up being an extremely effective counter to what the Republicans are surely going to push. They will try to turn Palin's choice to carry her baby with Down's Syndrome into an ethical argument by tugging at the heart strings of a number of Americans. We Democrats shouldn't allow her biography to trump a fundamental right, and here's how.
