- “Edwards did well tonight…Edwards is probably gonna win Nevada.”
So proclaimed Howard Fineman at MSNBC after the Democratic candidates debate last night in Nevada.
I can dig it. Check out the rest of today’s hot fire:
Reports of John Edwards’ primary death have greatly been exaggerated, as have Barack Obama’s progressiveness.
This isn’t new but it’s great that the lobbyists admit that they’re scared of John Edwards.
The WGA doesn’t […]
- be there or be square
John Edwards is going to be dropping some science in Los Angeles tomorrow at the offices of SEIU Local 721 at 12:30 pm. If you’re planning on voting for the illusion of change (Hillary) or the idea of change (Barack), I suggest you go and listen the man talking about real change. The […]
- race, gender, and the c word
I, for one, am glad that this whole gender/race cold war has begun between the Clinton and Obama camps.

- eff you media 2: the electric boogaloo
I’ve still got some smoke coming out of my ears on this whole media thing. If this is true for you and you haven’t been following Glenn Greenwald on Salon, you’ve been missing some good stuff.
Here, he recounts an exchange between Chris Matthews and Tom Brokaw regarding Tiresia’s error in predicting Oedipus would claw his […]
- eff you, media
The press is in a tizzy over Hillary’s “shocking win” in New Hampshire. Every news story I’ve read today seems to be a riff on one of the following themes:
“Who saw it coming?”
“New Hampshire is independent!”
“She’s the Comeback Gal!”
“It was the tears mobilizing the women in New Hampshire!”
“We are so dumb!”
“The campaign staffs are so […]
