Per today’s Note (regarding last night’s Democratic debate):
Now we’ve got it straight. Sen. Hillary Clinton is a flip-flopping, record-sealing, war-in-Iran-voting, Social-Security-ducking, politically calculating, lobbyist-loving, polarizing and unelectable Democrat who acts like a Republican — and a Clinton.
Yup. Pretty much. Although maybe less with the “acts like a Republican” than the others. Let’s hope that the […]
Highlights of last night’s debate include Dennis Kucinich scolding the mainstream media and their framing of the Iran issue, John Edwards getting to the heart of what’s at stake after 2008, and Joe Biden…oh, Senator Biden…going after the right target - “the most underqualified man since George Bush to seek the presidency.”

Last week John Rich, half of the country group Big & Rich, appeared for the first (but apparently not the last) time on Steve Gill’s radio show. As soon as I heard I remembered that the other half of the duo, Big Kenny Alphin, might not agree with his partner’s conservative politics because he had […]
Summary: In this segment, Mary and Freddie interview Beardy, alias “Dr. Beardy” and “Paul Krugman” and “Yale Economist” and “New York Times Columnist.” When it comes to the failings of the Bush administration, he pulls no punches in his new book, The Conscience of a Liberal, or in this interview.
