Clowns, clowns, clowns

March 3, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

February 21, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

Compare how these two (utterly hypothetical) stories might play:A. "McCain hawks legislation written by lobbyist."Or:B. "McCain shags lobbyist; hawks her legislation."We all know which one gets the attention. That's what makes … [Read more...]

What Edwards did.

January 30, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

UPDATE: Joe Trippi says Obama and Hillary are "beating down the doors" for Edwards' endorsement. I can see Edwards endorsing Obama, or nobody; I would be totally shocked to see it go to Hillary, although there are some policy areas in … [Read more...]

State of the Union, baby

January 28, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

"American families have to balance their budgets. So should their government."Well shoot George, that would have been easy, except that I invaded and occupied the house of this guy down the street, and he's not too happy about it, and … [Read more...]

Creation of a nose-pincher vote

January 22, 2008 By political-inaction

The debate was a continuation of the standard mud-slinging that we've seen in the past. I thought this was a time of opportunity! George Bush with an approval rating in the gutter. Republicans indicted nationally for all sorts of … [Read more...]
