Toothless People

This should square everything away. Thank heaven they’re stepping up at last.
The kids better straighten up and and quit the horseplay or Mom and Dad might come downstairs. That was the message from Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid this week with the superdelegate situation getting more and more precarious. They’re getting serious: They’re [...]

Rules of Odor

Much like the man recently standing in the middle of the railroad track whose soul is shaking this mortal coil after being plastered by the oncoming Burlington Northern locomotive, the Democratic party leadership is looking over the mess that is Florida and Michigan and lamenting, “I just didn’t see this coming.”

Working for Change and “Will Work for Change”: A Tale of Two War Chests

The Obama supporters are absolutely giddy as the Sunday numbers showed the candidate from the [...]

As a rule, you generally don’t bring in the contractors to start turning the garage into a third bedroom before your new house is in escrow, much less before your offer is accepted. That’s why it was rather curious to see Mitt Romney hit the airwaves this weekend with an ad assailing Hillary Clinton’s taste [...]

Vote Early, Vote Awful

In the many jobs I’ve had through the years, I’ve made it a point of pride to, whenever possible, tackle my worklist early and cross off as many tasks as possible well in advance of their due date. That’s just the stuff of a good work ethic: It’s responsible, pro-active, can-do.
I’ve also done my fair [...]
