barack attempts to answer the critics
From RCP (originally posted at HuffPost), here’s Barack’s answer to those who question his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright:
The pastor of my church, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who recently preached his last sermon and is in the process of retiring, has touched off a firestorm over the last few days. He’s drawn attention as the result [...]
questionable alliances
First it’s former NY Gov Eliot Spitzer and his high-priced call girl. He had to resign and he did. It’s hard to feel any sympathy for a guy who wasn’t smart enough to recognize that he’s not the only government official capable of busting up prostitution rings. It’s always annoying when politicians condemn activity they [...]
difference
Matt Bai on Bill and Hillary:
This may be the defining difference between the candidacies of Bill Clinton and his wife, between Clintonism and Hillaryism, if such a thing can be said to exist. Like most successful outsiders, Bill Clinton directly challenged the status quo of both his party and the country, arguing that such a [...]
my thoughts on the bcs
You all know my obvious bias. I am and will always be a serious Ohio State Buckeyes football fan. I am happy that they are playing in the national championship game. For the record, I would have been just as happy with a USC/ OSU Rose Bowl game. But that’s not what the BCS decided. [...]

Regular readers of this blog are well aware of my dislike for the Yankees in general, and for their owner George Steinbrenner in particular.

alive and breathing
Winners:
Ohio State wins 30-7 over Minnesota. The Mets FINALLY WIN A GAME, beating the Marlins 13-zip with a 14K, 7 2/3 no-hit ball performance from previously underwhelming John Maine. Hopefully Glavine can come up big in Sunday’s game.
Losers:
The Phillies FINALLY LOST one, falling to the Nats 4-2. Ok…you caught me…Michigan did win today, but they [...]
down goes michigan
And the calls for Lloyd Carr’s head will resume just as they do pretty much every year. Apparently those Wolverines had a little trouble with Appalachian State today…as in…THEY LOST. You know it’s a huge loss when it makes the front page of ESPN.com. Could the Michigan Wolverines recover from this opening day loss? Sure [...]
picks to click v.1
Courtesy of Real Clear Politics via Foreign Affairs mag:
Rudy Giuliani “Toward a Realistic Peace” vs. John Edwards “Reengaging with the World“.
Whatever you may think of Rudy as a presidential candidate, you certainly can’t say that he hasn’t thought much about the next steps in our foreign policy and the war against terrorists. His knowledge [...]
thoughts on ames: part 2
People of faith, and Christians in particular, need to get out of the political king-making business. We have more important things we need to be worrying about than who wins elections. We condemn elitists. We say that politicians are out of touch with our values. And you know what? We [...]
