I’ve been talking a lot about politics lately, and I’m sure I’ll have some more stuff to say after tonight’s debate. But I haven’t spent much time at all on sports, and it’s been a busy week for sports in Chicago. No, I’m not talking about the Ben Wallace trade. An NBA man I am [...]

Obama Does Have Foreign Policy Experience
In response to my last blog, my friend and blogging inspiration said people have complained to her that Barack Obama does not have enough foreign affairs experience (she commented on The Great Geno’s Myspace page, where I also post all my blogs). Since my blogs are usually ranting against somebody instead of for Obama, I [...]

Dead In the Water, But Still Splashing Around
Last night Obama won big in Wisconsin and Hawaii. Hawaii was pretty much a given; so much so that neither candidate made a personal stop there. But the Clinton campaign was hoping for either a win in Wisconsin or a close loss, and they were blown out of the water via a 17-point defeat. It [...]

King George’s Laws
I’d like to take a moment to point out once again that our “prestigious” president doesn’t have the slightest clue about the Constitution. Yesterday he addressed the country to try a persuade Congress to pass the Protect America Act. This act makes it lawful for the government to eavesdrop on electronic communications (i.e. [...]

Today in Washington, Wednesday in Mesa
On Fox News Sunday, Bush gave his critique of Obama, saying “I certainly don’t know what he believes in. The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was that he’s going to attack Pakistan and embrace Ahmenidajad.” Evidently he feels like America doesn’t know what he stands for. Fortunately for us, Barack Obama has [...]

The Cognitive Dissonance of Global Warming
Last night Hardball host Chris Matthews had Tom DeLay, that wonderful man who upholds such conservative moral values as conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws and money laundering, live from the Conservative Political Action Conference (i.e. the 2008 Texas Honky Festival) to ask about negative statements he and other Republicans made about John McCain. [...]

From Here on Out on the Left
Obama currently holds the leads in pledged delegates. There are still some delegates left to count, but it seems likely that after they are all allocated Obama’s delegate lead will actually increase by a few votes.
That is good news, as the Obama campaign said before Super Tuesday if they were behind by only about 100 [...]

A Sign of Things to Come?
I’m going to resist the temptation, for now, of ranting against Bush’s “fiscally responsible” budget which would simultaneously be the largest budget ever and net the largest deficit ever. Suffice to say it would further widen the gap between the rich and the poor while degrading the middle class by making the tax breaks for [...]

They Might Be Giants
If God cares about football, I think He had a hand in last night’s game. This Patriots team was not one that should have went down in the accolades of the sport as the first 19-0 team. As the Super Bowl came underway, new revelations of the Patriots recording the Rams walkthrough prior [...]
