masbury
by masbury  5-7-2008   
 Check this sampler of demographic wins: Clinton's depiction of his support as narrow is just a last-chance mudball she's trying to stick on him. Ironically, she won among the "elites" - -those making over $100k -- in IN. Things aren't as they seem.

masbury
by masbury  5-6-2008   
 Time for a fresh start. May I suggest these sure-fire strategies: TAX CUTS! Blame BIG GUBMINT. Pitch TRICKLE DOWN. How 'bout that WAR ON TARA? How 'bout WE WON'T DO ANYTHING ON HEALTHCARE? Or WE WON'T TALK ABOUT RACE. If those don't bring us to our senses, bring out the deep stuff: WRIGHT! ELITIST! SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! LIBBRUL! Oh my, he's right. All the milk's gone sour.

masbury
by masbury  5-5-2008    1
 Do I hear a dinosaur's howl? Would obliterating a nation ever be appropriate? Isn't that what we call genocide? And is this likely to make Iran more reasonable?
