• McCain Joked About Woman In "Ape Rape"

  Tue Jul 15, 2008
  • I'm not a McCain supporter, but I'm skeptical about this story. Why? Because, offensiveness aside, I don't see how this IS a joke. I know a tastless joke when I hear one, and this isn't one. Anecdote is either totally false, or missing critical info.

  Wed Jul 9, 2008
  • The legislature is the sovereign in our system. That's not directly stated in the Constitution, but since it has the broadest mandate, it's a fact. The executive and judicial are in effect only counterweights. The legislature, under the Constitution, can pretty much do whatever it wants.

• Obama courting evangelicals once loyal to Bush

• In Flag City USA, where false Obama rumors fly

  Sun Jun 29, 2008
  • I'm sorry, but I see a lot of Soviet-style rhetoric coming out of the Bush administration. They're authoritarian, hate questioning, they're top-down, and love to intimidate their political opponents. It's good that they're so stupid, because it's so badly backfired on them.
