Thisblog got a pingback yesterday - i.e., another blog quoted me and linked back here. I was flattered - until I read what he had to say. Linking to my controversial post "The Coming Romney Landslide," a site called rightwingnuthouse.com quoted me at length and concluded with his own commentary: "Um…no, that’s ridiculous." Today, I ...

[Note:this past week, the following news article appeared on the front page of the New York Times in an alternate universe in which, for reasons unexplained, George W. Bush is still president and is making some of this-universe Obama's mistakes. Meanwhile, that universe's still-Senator Barack Obama is running against him. Get it? 'Cause you need ... Read more

AsI did with my last post, I could write another five hundred words about how the polls showing Romney falling behind are based on a 2008 turnout model that won’t apply this time around. I could point you to better-sampled polls, like Rasmussen, that actually show Romney ahead. But something is happening here that ... Read more

Thismorning, I was greeted by a fresh doubting comment on my Coming Romney Landslide Facebook link. The friend who questioned my prediction a few days ago wrote this morning: " I gotta ask...... Still????"Yes. Still. Despite, or perhaps because of, the media hysteria over Romney's brave, insightful, and entirely appropriate comments on the unfolding disaster ... Read more

Ordinarily,I'd schedule this to post at midnight for the next day, but tomorrow is September 11, a day unsuitable for political horserace analysis.

Didn'twatch the president's speech last night. Early reviews suggest that he didn't rise to the rhetorical standard set by Clinton, whose speech I didn't watch because it literally made me sick to my stomach. Which literally brings me to the subject of today's post, which is Joe Biden's speech, which I literally watched.And if you ... Read more

UPDATE:The following post makes heated accusations of rape against Bill Clinton. I believe those accusations to be accurate and founded on solid evidence. However, I repeatedly refer to him as a "rapist" when such a thing has not been proven in a court of law.This post is based on the premise that I believe ... Read more

Justunder the wire - in honor of today's "Empty Chair Day."People fancy me a politico, and I'm approached by anxious Romneyites who see a tight race and wonder if Mitt's going to be able to pull it out. It happened on Sunday, in the halls at church. A guy pulled me aside and asked, ... Read more

Justlast year, NewSouth Books published a new edition of Mark Twain’s literary classic Huckleberry Finn.  Their version eliminated each usage of what some consider to be the most inflammatory and offensive racial epithet in the English language.I thought about that this summer as I watched the Utah Shakespearean Festival’s production of To Kill a Mockingbird ...
