Another Dead Canary

The Republicans are coming. The Republicans are coming. Just in case you were wondering what was causing that clickety clacking noise, it’s the rumblings and keystrokes of a conservative revolution (a true oxymoron if ever there was one) on the Web.
After getting their asses handed to them on Nov. 4, the Republicans have done a [...]

Well, I’ve decided there must be a reason I can’t bring myself to blog. I figure I’m either one of those Obamazombies in that hilarious Onion video or it’s because I’m still trying to get through this fascinating and very long series in Newsweek that takes us behind-the-scenes of the Obama and McCain campaigns (though, [...]

There’s nothing I could write tonight that could be more poignant or powerful than the speech President-elect Barack Obama delivered in Chicago’s Grant Park:
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our [...]

I decided that I wasn’t going to sit this election out. If Sen. Barack Obama loses this election, I wanted to be able to look myself in the eye the next day and say that I did everything I could. So, I hooked up with two other D.C.-area folks and drove down to Salem, Va. [...]

Look, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m completely in the tank for Obama. I’ve phone banked for him and I’m heading to Roanoke later this week to work as a volunteer to get the vote out. If you’ve read any of the other entries on this blog, you know that I’m a flaming [...]

I’m not sure why this YouTube clip contrasting WFTV-Orlando anchor Barbara West’s interviews with Joe Biden and John McCain makes me so angry. We’ve grown to expect media bias at the cable networks, whether it’s the unabashed right-wingers at FOX News or the liberals at MSNBC. So maybe it’s a little idealistic to still expect [...]

Here’s the question of the day: How did the entire blogosphere and twitterverse know intuitively that Ashley Todd was some imbalanced attention-seeker almost immediately after the story broke but John McCain, Sarah Palin and their top staff did not?
Predictably, the liberal bloggers and tweeters were calling bullshit as soon as they heard Todd’s tale of [...]

How can you tell when a blogger is lacking inspiration? He posts a bunch of videos. I couldn’t resist putting this one up because it’s freaking hilarious. We’ve truly entered unchartered waters: The country is about to elect its first black president, the Tampa Bay Rays are in the World Series and Saturday Night Live [...]

Barack Obama was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show the other day, telling Ellen he might not be able to dance better than his wife, but he was pretty sure he could out dance John McCain. After watching this video, I’d call it a tie. Though I have to admit, I’m not sure Obama has an [...]

The picture above of Elsheba Khan appeared in the New Yorker. It’s the picture that former Secretary of State Colin Powell invoked in this stirring endorsement of Barack Obama:
I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, “Well, [...]
