We can all make mistakes and misspeak except we aren’t running for President. I play this for Mike O. just to show that they all misspeak at one time or another. We didn’t have recording devices then but I bet even Lincoln misspoke: occasionally. I think we judged a bit too harshly on some of [...]

John McCain responded to Barack Obama’s charge that he is “losing his bearings” by retorting to Obama that he is not “old.” Obama has not and will not inject “age” into this campaign because that is not his style. I would be deeply offended if the Obama campaign did use “age” as an argument in [...]

Barack Obama advances much closer to the Democratic nomination for President as he roundly defeats Hillary Clinton in North Carolina and wins a morale victory in Indiana. But Obama didn’t just defeat Hillary Clinton, but he also defeated Rush Limbaugh and his merry band of followers such as Ann Coulter and the cast of Fox [...]

The death penalty is back. The Supreme Court ended a seven-month moratorium on lethal injections and at least 14 executions dates have been set in six states.
And the state of Texas executes the most number of individuals.
More inmates whose appeals have expired are certain to be added to execution rosters soon, including, in all likelihood, [...]

A change in the Illinois constitution to allow the recall of the Governor of Illinois is closer to passage. The Illinois Senate, which some of the leadership is closely allied to the Governor, changed the original bill to include other elected officials.
SPRINGFIELD - The question of whether to amend the state Constitution so Illinoisans can [...]

This will more than likely be my last posting about Reverend Jeremiah Wright, not because there is nothing more to say but because the interest will not be there. I continue to write about it today because the readers of this blog are still interested in reading about him and commenting on him. But soon, [...]

Here is a change of pace from some of our political stuff like Reverend Wright, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain. Lee Elia would have made an interesting pr guy for one of the candidates. Listen to this.
Lee Elia, then manager of the Chicago Cubs, performed his famous rant on April 29, 1983 after a [...]

Just a quick commentary. I am still and always will be a fan of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. What he did at the National Press Club, questioning Barack Obama’s integrity, was out of line. He is a United States Marine, served in the Navy, assisted in the hospital care of a President of the United States [...]

I don’t make it a practice to quote conservative commentators, much less even read them, but I must say Tom Roeser caught my attention when explaining Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s actions of late.
Two Reasons.
Knowledgeable African Americans, some of whom attend Trinity United Church of Christ, tell me that there are two reasons why the [...]

Reverend Jeremiah Wright will one day owe Sean Hannity a great deal of gratitude for making him famous. Unfortunately for Hannity, his attempt at a high tech media-lynching was to make Reverend Wright “infamous” and not “famous” and “respected.”
This attempt at a high tech media-lynching failed.
Reverend Wright is now showing the world what a great [...]

Hillary Clinton is taking a chapter from Karl Rove’s book. The book could be titled “Political Success: No Matter What the Price.” His tactic is to relentlessly attack your opponent’s strength, forcing them to defend their strength, causing the electorate to think that maybe this isn’t a strength. Planting doubt in the minds of the [...]
