October 27, 2017 By JimC

I am pressed for time, but here is my thesis statement: As much as we can enjoy watching the Republicans collide with each other and try to deal with a President who doesn't even honor the deals he makes with them, let alone us, this is all … [Read more...]

Jeff Flake to Retire

October 24, 2017 By JimC

Report: DNC to Name Operatives and Lobbyists as Superdelegates

October 21, 2017 By JimC

Can anyone confirm this? I could forgive the operative bit, but if this is true, I know the operatives are just cover for the lobbyists. WTF? The Democratic Party this week plans to name 75 people including lobbyists and political … [Read more...]

Graham-Cassidy Is the Worst Health Bill Yet

September 20, 2017 By JimC

John Cassidy's review in The New Yorker appears to be typical of the genre. Rushing the bill through this way is about the only way it could pass. Several previous Republican bills were doomed by the Congressional Budget Office, which … [Read more...]

“The First White President”

September 8, 2017 By JimC

This piece by Ta-Nehisi Coates created quite a stir on Twitter yesterday. I didn't get to read it until the end of the day, and being me I have a quibble or two, but those don't really matter. The best parts of this ring quite loudly. “I … [Read more...]

RNC Fundraising Eclipses DNC Fundraising

August 21, 2017 By JimC

(Yes, it was intended. Sue me.) For some reason the Twitter will not allow a specific link, but the source is Dave Weigel. I imagine he'll write something more detailed later. Cash on hand: RNC $47.1 million DNC $6.9 … [Read more...]

Bannon Out

August 18, 2017 By JimC

Meanwhile, Back in the Commonwealth

August 17, 2017 By JimC

I keep staring at this hoping it's wrong. If you mouse over Massachusetts, it says Elizabeth Warren is at 54%, whereas Republican Not Yet Named is at 46%. Really? Some other Senators are in much stronger positions. I take comfort … [Read more...]

The 2020 GOP Primary Begins

August 16, 2017 By JimC

Whatever else one can say about the President's performance yesterday, I think he has now guaranteed himself a 2020 challenger. The only real question to me is whether one of the candidates is named Pence. The danger for us is that we … [Read more...]
