Some Props for Hillary

On leap day, Hillary Clinton did something I do not believe either McCain or Obama has done since they started their run for President:  she introduced legislation into the Senate.  And not some bill to commemorate the architect of a bridge, but real legislation that would have a concrete and meaningful impact.
This legislation, tilted “United [...]

Grasping at Straws

So let me get this straight.  When the focus of the national press was erroneous comments Barack Obama’s minister made, you could take the high road and say you didn’t have a comment about it and this shouldn’t be a central issue, but almost two weeks later when everybody’s talking about your “misstatements” now you [...]

Hillary is Prepared to Be Commander-in-Chief. Oops! I Mispoke.

Hillary Clinton likes to talk about how the military thinks she’s the most capable to be Commander-in-Chief.  Now her campaign is being compared by a former Air Force Chief-of-Staff to one of America’s most famous defenders of homeland security:  Joe McCarthy.
USAF General Tony McPeak said Bill Clinton made comments which brought Joe McCarthy to mind [...]

The Starting Rotation and Tampering with Briggs

Well, in case you noticed (and you probably didn’t) I completely blew it.  My prediction was dead wrong.  Entirely incorrect.  Not even remotely accurate.  That’s right; my preseason pick for the final two starting spots was bad.
I said Lieber and Marshall would get the spots, Dempster would end up in the bullpen, and Marquis would [...]

Obama’s Race Speech and What the Future Has in Store for Him

 
Reverend Wright changed everything.  Just not in the way one might expect.
I know some people are saying his defamatory comments are going to spell the end of Obama.  Some people are saying it’s going to make him “unelectable.”  Give me a break.  Something like this is always going to be the end of some candidate.  [...]

Ferraro Aids Obama

Did you see Hillary Clinton’s scarf yesterday?  I don’t want to get petty here, but taaaacky.  It looked like algae hanging from a fishing pole.  She’s trying to give a speech, and I tried to focus, I really did, but all I kept seeing was this scarf.  I’ve worn pants with less fabric than that [...]

A Comparison of the Obama and Clinton Environmental Policies

I was planning on writing two environmental blogs; one detailing Obama’s plan and one detailing Clinton’s, so people could have a good understanding of the differences.  There was just one problem:
Obama and Clinton have very similar environmental plans.  In fact, they’re almost identical, with a few notable exceptions.  They both want to achieve about the [...]

My Primary Precognition

Hillary Clinton is good, I’ll give her that.
The story today is that she won big in Texas and Ohio.  Which isn’t exactly true.  It’s not even sort of true.  She did have a pretty sizeable victory in Ohio, ten points, but barely won Texas, lost the caucus, and may end up with fewer delegates from [...]

Why Losing Berrian Cripples the Bears

Jerry Angelo’s good graces are quickly wearing out.
I don’t hold letting Thomas Jones go against the Bears.  It was obvious he would not be back before the ’06 campaign began and I understand why they had to stick by their #4 draft pick.  But I thought that Angelo had gambled this season on the assumption [...]
