Quick Poll

The Republican Party is
still the Party of Reagan
completely out of touch with America
a purely obstructionist entity with no fresh ideas
now a permament minority Party
a racist organization
looking out for the little guy
looking out for the rich elites

Thinking PointsCommunicating our American Values and Visionby George Lakoff I was pretty disappointed in this book. Instead of a how-to guide for communicating our American values and vision, it's more about communicating George Lakoff's

Wednesday, 8 August 2007 10:45 P GMT-08

You Tubing Democrats

Monday, 23 July 2007 10:13 A GMT-08
I cought the CNN/You Tube Democratic debate. That was... interesting. The questions were Iraq-heavy and I was disappointed that there wasn't much time allotted to healthcare, immigration or the economy. Either CNN didn't consider those topics

From The Heartland

Thursday, 19 July 2007 8:27 P GMT-08
I spent much of last month driving around Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico and I spent this week in Ohio and Pennsylvania and a couple things reeally surprised me. 1) There are a lot of Democrats in those states and 2) Most of those

Dem's Iraq Plan In Action

Friday, 1 June 2007 8:01 P GMT-08
Democrats have long sought to change the military mission in Iraq to training Iraqi forces, protecting US interests and hunting al-Qaeda. Democrats, listening to Middle East analysts (here's one - and another), are convinced t

GOP Keeps Iraq War

Wednesday, 23 May 2007 8:36 P GMT-08
Democrats tried to end the war, but didn't have the votes. They tried to set a flexible timetable for withdrawal, but couldn't override President Bush's veto. Democrats just don't have enough votes in Congress to change the missi

The Washington Post had a really interesting article yesterday about the US troops patrolling Sadr City in Baghdad called, "Learning to Live With the Mahdi Army". In a nutshell, the troops don't think they're making any difference,M

Transparency Week

Thursday, 15 March 2007 5:21 P GMT-08
Unnoticed among all the Republican scandal this week, House Democrats -- with broad (but far from complete or enthusiastic) Republican support -- passed a raft of open government initiatives. Naturally, President Bush vowed to veto all

Pay-Go! Pay-Go!

Friday, 5 January 2007 10:58 P GMT-08
In a matter of days, Democrats have done more to balance the budget than Republicans did in six years. Speaker Pelosi first decided to cut all the pork out of this year's budget, and then today she reinstated the Clinton-era "pay as yo

Finally, Some Spending Cuts

Tuesday, 19 December 2006 9:27 P GMT-08
In their final act as the majority Party, Republicans decided to do nothing about a whole bunch of spending bills. Some speculate that they didn't want the Republican Party to be associated with a last massive bout of ea

The Shield and the Cloak: The Security of the Commons

Friday, 13 October 2006 6:35 P GMT-08
This is by far the best book on national security I've ever read. I hadn't heard anything from Gary Hart since the "Monkey Business" back in the 80s, but it didn't take me long to conclude this guy knows what he's talking about. He's at once inspirat

Thursday, 12 October 2006 8:43 P GMT-08

The Marines consider Iraq's al-Anbar provice lost to the Sunni insurgency, according to a new assessment. When the Marine Commander in the area was asked for comments, he said something pretty surprising: "My mission out here, along with the res

The Dust Settles

Tuesday, 15 August 2006 7:26 P GMT-08
As the dust settles, it's become clear that America was the big loser in Lebanon. For a month, President Bush gave Israel free rein, supplied Israel with weapons and intelligence, and insisted that there could be no cease-fire unless Hezbol

So Many Choices

The same week polls showed a new high in American dissapproval of the Iraq War, we also saw anti-Iraq War challenger Ned Lamont beat Iraq War advocate Joe Lieberman in Connecticut's Democratic Primary. This led to an interesting debate in t

Biden On Lebanon

Wednesday, 19 July 2006 9:45 P GMT-08
I'm not the world's biggest Joe Biden fan (yet), but I just heard him on Larry King Live and was totally impressed. He clearly understands what's going on in the Middle East and sees the conflict in Lebanon as a huge opportunity t

The Iranian Connection

Tuesday, 18 July 2006 7:39 P GMT-08
I happened to read Vali Nasr's article in Foreign Affairs, "When the Shiites Rise", right before the whole Hezbollah/Israel thing exploded, so right away I saw the connection between China and Russia backing a Security Council resolution against Iran

Monday, 3 July 2006 7:46 P GMT-08
Jim Webb, President Reagan's Secretary of the Navy, is running for one of Virginia's Senate Seats -- as a Democrat. I heard him on Air America the other day and was very impressed with this guy's intelligence and dedication to this great country

Iraq Shenanigans

Thursday, 22 June 2006 8:40 P GMT-08
