That’s a lot! Detail here. (via)
You know, one of the things I like about being a liberal is that if you come into an issue with pre-assumptions and then the evidence contradictions your initial assumptions, well then you throw out your initial thesis or at least modify it (ask a scientist sometime about that). Conservatives, [...]

Ok, media going too far. While as an Obama fan I hope to see him remembered FDR style when he leaves the presidency, how about we let him get sworn in first? Furthermore, I hate the rhetorical question of whether he will be the next JFK, FDR, Carter, Reagan, etc.
He’s going to be, for better [...]
Just to give you an idea of where things stood and why conservatives are just making stuff up when they say Kerry lead Bush.
Likely voters surveyed in six major showdown states indicated that they are almost evenly split in their support for President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry, according a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released [...]
Black vote turning out like gangbusters. Somehow, I don’t think they’re voting for Sen. McCain.
From a new Rasmussen poll:
With energy issues taking center stage in the presidential campaign, 81% of Americans see development of new energy sources as an urgent priority. Only 9% disagree.
For nearly two-thirds (65%), finding new sources of energy is more important that reducing the amount of energy Americans now consume. Twenty-eight percent (28%) think reducing [...]
Our government - state, local, federal - should not honor racist a-holes.
L.F. Eason III gave up the only job he’d ever had rather than lower a flag to honor former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms.
Eason, a 29-year veteran of the state Department of Agriculture, instructed his staff at a small Raleigh lab not to fly the [...]
Increasingly I get the sense from the McCain campaign that they didn’t learn about the impact of the Kennedy-Nixon debate in their history class. Actually, Sen. McCain was 24 at the time, he probably watched it on TV.
Its not that stagecraft trumps policy, but the presidencies of folks like FDR, Reagan, and Clinton show us [...]
Chris Matthews Stumps Right-Wing Radio Host: ‘Tell Me What Chamberlain Did?’ ‘I Don’t Know’.
Idiots could not crack open a history book to save their lives.
I can’t stand Chris Matthews but he absolutely PWNED.
Video of Kevin James getting pwned by Chris Matthews over Never Chamberlain’s history with the Nazis on Hardball:
Some new pictures of Hiroshima post-bombing have provoked what has now come to be the expected response from some liberals in the HuffPo comments section. Ridiculous things like how the bombing could have been avoided, or stupid things like creating a moral equivalence to Hitler.
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a necessary extreme action [...]

Ezra Klein makes the (convincing to me, at least) that American foreign policy should better be expressed as Superman versus Jack Bauer. Though to be honest the foreign policy we’ve got right now bears more resemblance to Lex Luthor.
John McCain is today claiming that though Martin Luther King was killed when McCain was 32 he didn’t understand the “issue” when he was 47, 15 years later. He goes on to treat a commemoration of the leading civil rights figure in U.S. history as if he was just one of the lobbyists he employs [...]
Yes, he did
And then I got into Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers?
Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me [...]
I love stories like this.
Is fifth-grader Kenton Stufflebeam smarter than the Smithsonian? The 11-year-old boy, who lives in Allegan but attends Alamo Elementary School near Kalamazoo, went with his family during winter break to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington.
Since it opened in 1981, millions of people have paraded past the [...]
According to the Right Honorable August J Pollak
There is not a single instance of political discourse in the history of this nation in which the participants did not want to simply kick their opponent in the balls.
Verily, he doth tell the truth.
I watched the first three episodes of HBO’s excellent John Adams series today, and while looking forward to episode four tomorrow, I thought to myself about Senator Clinton’s anti-intellectual attack on Sen. Obama’s oratory as “just words”.
Much of the first and second Continental Congress and its work product - the Declaration of Independence - was [...]
Commemorating Martin Luther King? Why not invite serial moron Sean Hannity? Kee-rist.
Sen. Clinton repeatedly cites 35 years of experience as a major rationale for her presidential candidacy. Next to her term in the Senate (in which the most significant vote she cast was a vote in favor of the Iraq war), the only other experience of hers that has national significance is the 8 years she [...]
