Chris Matthews performed a public service on his show, taking on one of the all-too-common rightwing bloviators that populate the airwaves. His guest--a particularly obnoxious representative of the genre--was screaming about how right Bush was to call Obama an appeaser.

John McCain's age has been a recurrent theme of the campaign so far, but if you really want to get an idea just how old he is, this site's compilation may surprise you. It surprised me, and hey--I'm older than dirt!

Well, I have been put in my place. Here I thought we had a complete asshole for president, insensitive to the welfare of the troops he has needlessly put in harm’s way in Iraq. Silly me.

Some of you may have known this, but I just found out that George W. Bush has given up GOLF as a sign of solidarity with the soldiers and their families. He hasn’t played since 2003.

What a guy. What a man. What sacrifice!

The other day, I posted a story from the New York Times (UPDATE: link to previous story added) about a friend of mine, Dan Pinello, and his long-time partner, who had challenged New York State's refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples by appearing at

I was one of "those." You know: one of the Dems who believed that the ticket would be some blissful combo of Obama-Clinton-Edwards.
