McCain Channels His Inner Hillary
by Frank Rich
BEFORE they were sidetracked into a new war against The New York Times, the Rush Limbaugh posse had it right about John McCain. He is a double agent. Some Democrats do admire and like him. So does Jon Stewart, and so do many liberal editorial boards and card-carrying hacks in the mainstream American press. So, in fact, do many at The Times, including myself. As long as I don’t look too hard at the fine print. | Enron, The L.A. Times, and Coddling Schwarzenegger
by Bill Hare
Did I get my Andy Warhol-allotted 15 minutes of fame when I was singled out by a veteran Los Angeles Times political reporter?It was a dubious mention and one that we will see was delivered by someone who might well take offense to the article I wrote that resulted in my brief moment in the big time of political journalism by being singled out by Robert Salladay, then Sacramento Capitol reporter who covered Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger along with other assignments, including the 2000 presidential recount and the 2003 California recount that brought Schwarzenegger to power. | Obama, Clinton Battle for Hearts of Hispanics
by Sean Gordon
The sagebrush scrubland and sun-blighted arroyos of Starr County, home to more Hispanics per capita than any other county in Texas, have become the scene of an ardent and unlikely political courtship.0302 02The area’s population is a shade over 98 per cent Latino and the county seat of Rio Grande City (pop. 12,000) has more in common with Mexico City than Dallas - with the choice of radio stations mostly limited to salsa, country and Spanish-language country. | The Obama Generation - He’s No Pied Piper
by Bethany Woolman
He’s been called an empty suit. A hack. A panderer. He’s faced absurd allegations that he has no specific policy initiatives, no meaningful experience, and no fighting spirit. But of all these distortions, the one that galls me the most is the comparison of Barack Obama to a modern-day Pied Piper. You know the story- some guy in a colorful get-up comes to town and lures all the children into the river with nothing more than a catchy melody. | McCain Resurrected
by Matt Taibbi
The Arizona Senator has gone from laughingstock to presumptive nominee by campaigning for World War III. So why do conservatives fear him?It's the day before the Virginia primary, and darkness has fallen outside the Aviation Museum in Richmond. Inside, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain stands proudly before a museum-exhibit version of his own A-4 Navy jet fighter, plowing through the Poconos-stand-up portion of his stump speech. | Obama and Clinton: Who's More Likely to Confront Global Warming?
by Paul Rogat Loeb
If we ignore global warming much longer, we'll face a world of perpetual disaster, so there's no larger question for presidential candidates than who is more likely to tackle it successfully. Although Obama's and Clinton's positions are similar, he seems far more likely to. The key difference is their ability to mobilize a grassroots base to demand that the necessary changes get passed. | Winter Soldiers to Testify Against War
by Maya Schenwar
Thirty-seven years ago, in the midst of a bitter-cold Michigan winter, 109 Vietnam veterans gathered at a Howard Johnson Motel auditorium in Detroit to tell their stories. For three days, they told of ransacking undefended villages, attacking civilians, mutilating bodies, torturing Viet Cong suspects, burning houses, destroying Vietnamese property and livestock and killing innocent children. At the conference, entitled Winter Soldier, the veterans accepted responsibility and mourned for their actions. But, taken collectively, their words incriminated a much larger culprit: the war itself. | McCain Seeks Distance From Pastor
by Libby Quaid
John McCain is refusing to renounce the endorsement of a prominent Texas televangelist who Democrats say peddles anti-Catholic and other intolerant speech.Instead, the Republican presidential candidate issued a statement Friday afternoon saying he had unspecified disagreements with the San Antonio megachurch leader, John Hagee. Hagee endorsed him at a news conference Wednesday in San Antonio. | Jamaica explores legalizing marijuana
by AP
Jamaica is considering the legalization of marijuana, a drug revered by members of the island's large Rastafarian population who say smoking it is part of their religion.A seven-member government commission has been researching possible changes to the Caribbean nation's anti-drug laws, which some police complain are clogging courts and jails with marijuana-related cases, a government official said Friday. |
