They won’t. Sorry, over. Ok, ok, I’ll start from the beginning. The Washington Post Sunday posted a long article by Sophia Nelson, a black Republican. She talked of how she feels alientated in her own party, and of the agonizingdecision to support and vote for Barack Obama. Her description of how Republicans have abandonded blacks in America is devastating. From the Washington Post: But as a black Republican, I was chagrined that the political party ...

I'm quoted heavily in an article running in today's National Journal about, among other things, the Republican Party continuing to stand around and point blame about what happened this past election while we're missing opportunities to push-back on Barack Obama's Change: The day after the election, his campaign began building a new Web site, Change.Gov, to recruit volunteers and job applicants. And this week, Obama released the first-ever presidential YouTube address. The Web doesn't have ...

It’s easy to forget, but just two months ago, St. Paul played host to the Republican National Convention, which resulted in, not just the hottest VP nomination since Richard M. Johnson, but some of the largest protests, and subsequently the largest mass arrests the Twin Cities has ever seen. 400 people were arrested in the weeks leading up to the convention and over the first three days, but another 400 people were arrested in one ...

You want evidence that Gingrich will be seeking a bigger national stage, perhaps as RNC chair or 2012 candidate? He's put aside his usual "ideas" schtick to engage in some good, ol' fashioned hate and division. O'REILLY: OK, now, the culture war. I know you've been flying around the country, and you're doing stuff. In the last three or four days, this is really nasty stuff. I mean, you know, hyper -- we're gonna show ...

So, Slappin' Harbhajan Singh has claimed that Little Captain Punter is 'an average captain'. Oh, Bhaji... methinks you've seriously overestimated the man's leadership abilities.Hey, speaking of captains whose statistical record belies their true ability, Mr Cricket led Australia to a 20/20 loss against Adam Gilchurch's All-Stars in some kind of charity fixture last night. Not surprising, really. Australia may have very recently been a good cricket team (and may have had 'Professor X' Doherty in ...

Even you think that's going too far – I haven't heard anyone say that directly – McCampaign staffers are certainly telling tales out of school. And none of the tales are particularly flattering to Governor Palin.As Fox News reports it, ...

Who will that person be? I've been struck at the similarities between the GOP these days and our Democratic Party back in 2004. We weren't happy with our standarbearer, we chaffed at the out-of-touch party establishment still fighting the battles of 1968 rather than adapting and evolving in this new milenium. Our preferred candidate in the primary, Howard Dean, had excited and engaged a new generation of activists, and his loss crushed us. But in ...

Now things are just getting weird. Sarah Palin's claiming she didn't spend $150 grand on wardrobe — evidence to the contrary be damned. And that all this fuss is just an expression of sexism! But the really strange part? Now some of the alleged retailers are claiming they never sold anything to the campaign. So...where did the money go? Who's lying? And...what the hell? In a rare interview with the Chicago Tribune yesterday, Palin asserted ...

Charlie Kaufman es muy grande por tres razones. La primera, por ser de los pocos guionistas conocidos y reconocidos en una profesión condenada sistemáticamente al oscurantismo. La segunda, por haber creado alguno de los guiones más sobresalientes de los últimos diez años en películas como ‘Olvídate de mí’, ‘Cómo ser John Malkovich’ o ‘Adaptation’.
