If we were on the air today we’d be talking about how sometimes we like the way the Nashville City Paper thinks. In today’s editorial, they called for Governor Bredesen to stop […]
No surprises from the Republicans. And no surprise that Dennis Kucinich voted ‘nay’ in the House. But, yes, John Edwards you were wrong. Frankly, I think you should’ve had some better actuaries on hand at the time who could’ve told you that $1.2 trillion would’ve made a big impact in combating poverty. And Sen. Clinton? If you only knew then, right? How is that a bunch of people on the outside looking in had a feeling that the Bush administration might have been selling a lemon? Isn’t part of your institutional responsibility skeptical oversight? You’re right: there are other choices for those who don’t like your vote. And I’ll be seriously considering them.

If we were on the air today we’d be talking about U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez’s visit to Nashville and his pandering to Southern Baptist leaders.
Gonzalez told a gathering of Southern Baptist […]
Imagine my surprise this morning to come across this in an updated post from a couple days ago by Joe Klein at Time’s Swampland blog. He’s speaking to a commenter who was a member of the armed forces currently feeling guilt and shame about the state of our deployment in Iraq, partly for not being […]
Herbert lamented that the pervasivevness extends from the aftermath of Katrina to civilian deaths in the Iraq war. Why are we so compassionate for the few thousand who lost their lives in the tragedy of 9/11 but vastly less so regarding the “scores of thousands” who have lost their lives as a result of the war in Iraq? The lecture was markedly anti-war. And it was pointed in its criticism of the lack of leadership among various communities (specific mentions of the black and feminist communities) where indifference has led to pervasive problems and near hopelessness.

This doesn’t have much to do with the 2008 field, but it’s still important. Actually, I take that back: Dennis Kucinich voted to oppose the surge. Jake Tapper of ABC News gives us the scorecard of yesterday’s vote on the “surge” in the House of Representatives. Look at John Duncan, a Tennessee Republican, standing strong […]
Summary: Al Franken gets it. Tennessee’s own John Duncan from the 2nd district (the Fightin’ 2nd!) gets it. The states that are passing anti-war resolutions get it. Al Gore might get it if his series of live concerts (Clim8?) to raise awareness about global climate change are also carbon neutral. There’s only one person who […]
