The Yeti Rants: It’s Good to be Back!
Well, it seems some time has passed since last I graced the pages of Moodspins with a rant. My apologies to my readers for that, but sometimes life has a way of putting a stop to things like online political rants for a time. In any event, I’m back and should be [...]
Edwards & Giuliani Exit Race Day After Florida Primary
2ND UPDATE 7PM ET: And Rudy’s out, endorsing McCain.
UPDATE 3PM ET: It’s official, at least from Edwards’ camp. He has “suspended” his campaign.
For those of you keeping score at home, last night Republican Presidential candidate John McCain won the Florida Primary (and its 57 pledged delegates), while Rudy Giuliani’s third-place [...]
Suicide Liberals: How The Far Left Keeps Killing The Democratic Party
John McCain will be the 44th President of the United States, mark my words, it’ll happen, and when it does, he’ll have no one else to thank but the far left American voter. They handed the White House to the Republicans in 2000, they helped them again in 2004, they’ll do it again. The [...]
Conservatives Hate Conservatism
NOTE: The following was written by my PCLIVE! partner Mark Radulich
In the glorious summer of 2006 I wrote a piece called Conservatives Hate Conservatism because I got tired of hearing guys like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage having the nerve to call themselves conservative and then advocate for wasteful, obnoxious behavior like drilling in ANWAR [...]
The band is back together and Obama has his back to the wall
You’ve gotta hand it to Hillary, after a goddamn scary six days in the political wilderness after the Iowa caucus she’s fought back hard and is now on the cusp of not merely reclaiming frontrunner spot but crushing the insurgency of one Barrack Obama. How is she doing this? Well, quite simply the band is [...]
Es Muss Sein
The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call “poetic memory” and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our life beautiful.
–Milan Kundera, from “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”
I read this book last year fanatically, daily, from December through early February, and sandwiched in between was my first wedding [...]
The Third Man
Everything about this race suggests that the Democrats have it in the bag; the Second Bush Administration has been astoundingly incompetent, the sub-prime crisis is fueling a growing recession and the great Nixon-Reagan Coalition seems to be finally cracking up. However, as befits the great losers of American politics they currently seem hell-bent on either [...]
The Unreliable “Moderate Independents”
I’m a partisan. I don’t call myself a Democrat, that’s a party not an ideology, but I support that party 99.9% of the time. I call myself a liberal progressive with the occasional maverick streak. I’m partisan, I believe we can’t police the world, occupy foreign lands, and support dictatorships. I believe in marriage equality, [...]
Romney wins Michigan
So Romney gets a Gold in real race; obviously congratulations are in order for the candidate with the silver hair (and a spoon to match). Similar to this race’s other dynastic candidate Hillary Clinton it was only at the point of dying that his campaign kicked into gear. Romney used his family’s association with Michigan’s [...]
Don’t Say Newt Didn’t Warn Us
I know Newt Gingrich caught the ire of da’ base recently when he had the audacity to suggest that the Reagan Era is over and the Republican party was reinventing himself, but I’m reading his Real Change: From the World that Fails to the World That Works (which I’ll be reviewing on PCLIVE! in two [...]
