Yup, it's finally happened. Hillary will be interviewed on The Factor by Bill O'Reilly on Faux.

David Sirota has written an excellent, eye-opening article about Hillary's strategy of hammering on the race issue and her ever-shifting firewalls. Here is the link: http://davidsirota.com/...

Sheila Jackson Lee, US congresswoman, 18th District of Texas, was booed by her constituents at the local Democratic senatorial district convention in Houston Saturday. She is a Hillary supporter.

So, we've got a document dump from Sen. Clinton. But how revelatory or pertinent are these documents? Not very, according to Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball of Newsweek. http://www.newsweek.com/...

This is a quickie. Two news items I came across this morning that are somewhat worrisome to Obama supporters like myself. And I'd like some feedback.

I love the clever quip, the sparkling epigram, the pointed jab. Do you?

She may have won Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island. But according to Jonathan Alter of Newsweek, the numbers are actually looking worse for her. http://www.newsweek.com/...

Hillary Clinton's chief strategist and campaign adviser is a pollster by the name of Mark Penn, author of the book, Microtrends. John Edwards likened him to Karl Rove. http://abcnews.go.com/...

Music moves us. It motivates, it inspires. Here is a quick overview of the anthems that have helped to launch people-powered movements. (And isn't it usually the masses, the everyday folk, who lead the movements and who are always a step ahead of the politicians?)

Some interesting buzz about Hillary Clinton refusing to release her tax returns. Obama has released his, and has raised the issue with the NY senator.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all...

Considering the current news cycle, I will immediately state that those lines were penned by Emily Dickinson, lest I get accused of plagiarism.

Being an insomniac, I sometimes spend the wee hours reading those little-seen diaries that gradually descend below the sidebar as the sun slowly ascends outside the window.  

There's a fascinating article appearing in "The Atlantic" about the firing of Solis Doyle. And yes, it was a firing, not a resignation.

This election year an issue important to many progressives seems to have  expired. At least I haven't heard our candidates mention it. It's an issue that needs to be resusitated.

Okay, there haven't been enough diaries today/yesterday about the Shuster controversy, thus I feel compelled to write one ;-)

 I'll state upfront that I'm an Obama supporter. Though pleased with his Super Tuesday wins, I'm not trumpeting his ultimate victory.
