David Plouffe responded to HairyAnna’s silly article, and I think perhaps he would like to behead the Queen (or maybe that’s just me projecting). ” While I appreciate Arianna Huffington’s kind words about my book on the 2008 Presidential campaign of Barack Obama, I could not disagree more with the [...]

Elections are about choices between the two alternatives. Sure I wish we have a viable multi-party system but for the most part we have two parties to choose from in elections. That’s why when I see people say they will sit on their hands or vote for third parties that [...]

Today’s another Election Day in America and when I woke up, I realized I didn’t know what to think about it . So I rushed to the TV, turned it on and flipped to one of the cable news channels. Fortunately, there were nice people there who confidently explained exactly [...]

Continuing her desperate efforts to be relevant, and playing the Puritans like a two dollar banjo, The Queen has a new post: Obama One Year Later: The Audacity of Winning vs. The Timidity of Governing And of course I wish you luck getting a comment posted.  Only her poodles are [...]

Senator McCain Hates this Site (and many others)! Do you like this site?  Your own blog?   Other small independent sites? Forget about it, if Senator McCain and the “the corprotistas” have their way.  Has anyone even heard anything about this on the telly?  In the newspapers? The major radio programs?  [...]

As most everyone knows by now, Lou Dobbs has reported that someone has taken a shot at him and his wife or at the very least, his house. The police dispute Dobbs’ claims, but that hasn’t stopped America’s self-proclaimed Toughest Sheriff Joe from jumping on the Dobbs bandwagon. Somehow, our [...]

We had a reasonable, to my eyes, HuffNo Friday in our first outing. But I was hoping for a stronger buy-in. What all do you think?   What can we do to draw more Huffers here to conduct a weekly boycott of Huff? This is a major interest of mine.   How [...]

Much is made now that the current GOP is the “Party of No”. But let’s remember that throughout American history conservatives have always been against progress. Whether it was first the Democrats in the 19th century or ultra conservative Republicans in the late 20th and early 21st century conservatives have [...]

It’s been a fantastic week here at The Planet, we’re now over 100 members! So many great and different voices here, it’s becoming an embarrassment of riches. A big ol’ thanks to all of those who have joined The Planet recently and to those out there who are reading this [...]

Personally, I was delighted to see the White House fighting back against the network that bills itself as a “News” network, and is most clearly not even close. In Frank Rich’s column today, he addressed the ongoing “feud”[bolding is mine]: Only in the alternative universe of the far right is [...]
