What, with all this campaign excitement, but . . . anyone heard anything about Rielle Hunter, lately? Will the story be revived in time for Edwards to play his important role at the Dem National Convention? Maybe Jeff could do a little digging while he’s there.

The general election is in November, but for Barack Obama Barry O, it is not too soon to start dealing the race card: They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black? He made similar comments to his fatcat San Francisco donors in conjunction with his claim that people in small-towns in flyover

No one updates himself like Glenn Greenwald (a/k/a “Rick Ellensburg,” “Thomas Ellers,” “Ellison,” “Wilson” and “Ryan”) but the Nine Updates of Rage occasioned by the House passage of the FISA/telecom amnesty bill may be a record, even for him.  Perhaps the highlight of the main post is this declaraton: Surrendering and fearful: that’s the face of the Democratic Party. He may have a point, though he’s only disappointed when the “surrendering” is to

Lefty broadcaster Amy Goodman steps away from the mic to tap out some global warming hysteria for the proletariat: The floodwaters are rising, swamping cities, breaching levees. Tens of thousands are displaced. Many are dead. No, I am not talking about Hurricane Katrina, but about the Midwest United States.

We are trying to get a good size library started here. Our address: 2121 El Paseo #1911, Houston, TX 77054 Shira,

Lots of interesting discussion in yesterday’s post on the (still debatable) cause or causes of homosexuality, but much of it has gotten away from the original premise. So I’ve decided to see if I can’t focus the discussion by reintroducing the question in a slightly different way: If it is determined that homosexuality is biologically determined, the proof for such a determination would have to reside in identifying the determinant

Some cretin criticizes Jeff for . . . hell, I don’t know.  But his point is . . . hell, I don’t know. Another one, who seems to have more of a point–but who wants to finesse the issue of whether the genetic component predominates, as many gays would claim–writes: That aside, I think it’s clear that the majority of those behaviors and interests we associate with the gay cliché are

he knows what Republicans think about Obama.  And he thinks they’re “saps”: God, Republicans are saps. They think that they’re running against some academic liberal who wouldn’t wear flag pins on his lapel, whose wife isn’t proud of America and who went to some liberationist church where the pastor damned his own country.
