WelcomeWithin the pages of my journal you will find mostly rants and commentary on topics of concern to me. Currently, those would include the illegal occupation of Iraq, human rights, the threat of theocracy, and the U. S. Presidency of Barack Obama.
If these things interest you as well, read on. If you wish to engage in attack debate, simply move on. I won't respond to you. If you are interested in honest debate, and have an open mind, then I welcome you.
Oh, and one more thing. I believe Bush 43 was the worst president ever to hold that office in the history of the United States. I am unashamed of that opinion.
TruthIf your actions harm no one, then they are ethical. The reverse is not necessarily true.

Kathleen Reardon: A Mystery Meeting -- A Moment In History
[...] None of us knows what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton spoke about Thursday night, but there is a feeling in the air that perhaps ignorance, arrogance, and cheap put-downs will cease to amuse -- cease to raise ratings. [...] Hatred is an awful master. Respect, especially among differences, is far more impressive and reliable. [...] read more | Digg story

Why We Fight for Barack Obama, and What We Fight Against.
Why We Fight: 2008 - Huffington Post article about why we fight against the war, the culture of fear, and for Barack Obama, by John Eskow.

Another reason Hillary worries me
Hillary's Prayer, Revisited [...] Hillary Clinton's campaign is doing its part to keep the Obama-Rev. Wright controversy alive. A few days ago one of Clinton's top advisers acknowledged that the campaign is aggressively pushing the Obama-Wright connection in its pursuit of uncommitted super-delegates. Hillary herself has repeatedly said that Wright "would not have been my pastor." ( Excerpt. Click headline for full story. ) Whether she cozies up to them for political advantage, or agrees with them wholeheartedly, really doesn't matter to me. Both are reason enough to be very concerned.

Interesting review of the status of the Democratic Presidential race
Salon: Why John Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama ( Excerpt. Click headline for full story. ) Both this article, and the one it is drawn from, are well worth the time to read. And make no mistake, both candidates get a bit of a bruising in this review. So you Hillary supporters, don't assume it's purely pro-Obama, just because I linked to it. OK?

Not quite a "pass"
Remember how I thought Hillary's lies would get her a pass? Well, at least CBS didn't give her quite the walk I expected. See their coverage here. On the other hand, you can hear the amusement in the reporter's voice, like this was no big deal. Amazing.

Why is Hillary still running?
Is Hillary Positioning for 2012? ( Excerpt. Click headline for full story. ) NY Times Op-Ed: The Long Defeat( Excerpt. Click headline for full story. ) Interesting theory, that first one. Another one I am considering is this: Once she officially loses the Democratic nomination, might she go to McCain and offer to run cross-party as his VP? Then when (if?) the old man dies in office, she steps up and becomes President the only way she ever will. As the Republican she really is.

Girl In Hilary's 3 AM Commercial Films Ad For Obama
I had already read that it was stock footage, and that the now young woman had no control over the use of the stock footage in question. What was ironic was that she was an active Obama supporter by the time the 3 AM ad came out. So what did she do? Follow the link above, or go straight to the source here.

Olbermann to take on Clinton over Ferraro comment
Keith Olbermann To Do "Special Comment" About Hillary Clinton Tonight — First Time Targeting A Democrat ( Excerpt. Click headline for full story. ) Ferraro's comment was incredibly over the top, and incredibly racist. The fact that Clinton has not demanded her resignation from the campaign speaks volumes about her. I'll be looking forward to this "Special Comment".
