No, not Patti LaBelle (for what it’s worth, though, her next concert is Friday night in Indio, California).
What I mean to ask is, at what point do you think the results of the election will be clear? And when do you think it will be officially called?
Japhy and I disagree. He’s convinced that …

Just putting it out there. The blogosphere is aflutter with rumors that Colin Powell may endorse Sen. Barack Obama on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this Sunday. Who’s stirring up the rumors, though? “Republican sources.”
Sounds fishy to me. While the MSM breathlessly awaits a Powell endorsement on Sunday, adding additional momentum …

Buried under the fold amidst the latest in today’s Great Depression news and information (hey, did you hear, the soup kitchen on La Brea has the shortest line of all of them today!) is the truly delightful news that Connecticut’s Supreme Court has overturned the state’s same-sex marriage ban.
That means that there are now three …

Don’t freak out just yet.
So a third-rate CBS affiliate in San Francisco commissions SurveyUSA to conduct a poll, and the poll shows “yes” leading “no” to Prop 8 by 5 points. (10 percent of voters are still undecided.) The key take-away from the CBS-5 poll was, apparently, the fact that young voters jumped …

Via Andrew Sullivan, check out this surprisingly heartwarming ad from California Republicans coming out against Proposition 8. A little heavy-handed, sure, and the reference to Sarah Palin as some sort of giant leap forward in women’s rights (as opposed to a desperate play for identity politics by John McCain) is jarring, but otherwise a …

All this talk about Sarah Palin as potentially our nation’s first VPILF has mostly been based on the almost universally abysmal looks of our recent vice-presidents, although I suppose Dan Quayle’s certain boyish charm made him a relative Adonis in comparison to Dick Cheney, George H.W. Bush, Fritz Mondale, Spiro Agnew and Nelson Rockefeller.
May I …

If ever a spoiled, bigoted GOP frat-brat deserved a face smack and a grudge fuck, it’s Levi Johnston, the self-proclaimed “fuckin’ redneck” from the Mat-Su Valley of Alaska who knocked up the governor’s daughter and, through a series of unlikely and unfortunate events, ended up with a $100 haircut and a $1000 suit in the …

Sarah Palin is damned dirty liar masquerading as Tina Fey playing Police Chief Marge Gunderson in a summer stock production of “Fargo: The Musical.”
And so is Mike Huckabee!  In his RNC speech, he pointed out that Sarah Palin supposedly got more votes in her Wasilla, Alaska mayoral election than Joe Biden got in his 2008 …

Joe, nice work predicting Joe Biden for Democratic VP.  But it looks like yours truly did pretty well in predicting Palin:
I think he may go with a dark horse, and I think he may go with a woman in order to “capture” the legendary PUMA voters who are still bitter over Hillary (truth be told, …

Do you think McCain is on the verge of becoming a satire of himself every time he drops the “five and a half years” reference to his war imprisonment? When he starts yammering on to Jay Leno about not having a kitchen table for five and a half years, you’ve got to wonder if …

First, the celebrated Straight Talk Express tries to make a right turn from the leftmost lane on a Florida arterial road, crushing a minivan in the process.
Now we find out that, while McCain wasn’t on the bus, beloved ex-Democrat Joe Lieberman was.  And that the accident caused a chocolate-vanilla birthday cake on the table directly …

John McCain’s new “celebrity” ad may be many things — silly, stupid, pointless, grasping for straws — but it isn’t racist.
At the risk of proving Japhy (who wanted to brand me as “moderate”, not “liberal”) correct by moving to the middle on a social issue, I have to say that I have a headache from …
