Barren Politics
The vacuous Draft Bloomberg movement has made a viral video. I have no idea how this is supposed to make me support him. I’m not sure they even know why they support him. No policy proposals, no platform, no definable … Continue reading

Unity08 2.0
Remember Unity08? It was “open source politics,” the internet-based third party with tech buzzwords in place of rhetoric. They captured press attention for awhile by talking a lot about “revolutionizing” the election with a web-based nominating convention and other silly … Continue reading

God’s Own Constitution
Video clip of Mike Huckabee arguing that “what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards.” Hmm. Is that really in accord with anyone’s notion of Founders intent? I know committed social conservatives who … Continue reading

Hearing Things
I was watching the booing of John McCain at the Prosperity Summit in Livonia, Michigan (video clip at Ian Schwartz). Now I can’t be entirely certain, but it sure sounds like a woman in the audience exclaims: “Happy Birthday Warsaw!” … Continue reading
