(1) F. Rich: Was his brilliant presidential campaign as hollow as Tiger’s public image? (2) D. Broder: Democrats aren't backing their own president.

18 hours ago ago from Cracker Squire

Frank Rich writes in The New York Times : Though the American left and right don’t agree on much, they are both now coalescing around the suspicion that Obama’s brilliant presidential campaign was as hollow as Tiger’s public image — a marketing scam designed to camouflage either his covert anti-American radicalism (as the right sees it) or spineless timidity (as the left sees it). The truth may well be neither, but after a decade of being ...

Obama Will Triumph — So Will America

21 hours ago ago from Frank Schaeffer

By Frank Schaeffer Before he’d served even one year President Obama lost the support of the easily distracted left and engendered the white hot rage of the hate-filled right. But some of us, from all walks of life and ideological backgrounds -- including this white, straight, 57-year-old, former religious right wing agitator, now progressive writer and (given my background as the son of a famous evangelical leader) this unlikely Obama ...

From The Daily Beast: Danny Glover, Jesse Jackson, and other activists talk to Lloyd Grove about disappointment in the African-American community with the president’s first year.

13 hours ago ago from Record-Eagle Blogs

It seems like only yesterday we were basking in the warm glow of Thanksgiving’s Tryptophan euphoria.  Unfortunately, any hope of an afternoon nap, much less a Detroit Lion’s victory, was abruptly cut short as the clang of alarm bells began sounding throughout the country before the gravy-laden dishes had even been cleared from the table.  Merchant’s desperate for cash were calling; it’s Christmas time again. As we move through another ...

Craig Barnes: Good and evil in a troubled world

2 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

Nobody seems happy. Not the democrats who want to get out of Afghanistan; not the Republicans who want to bomb devils and wipe out evil. Not the prophets of non-violence and not the advocates of strength. Obama's autumn strategy is a collage of contradictions. On the one hand, he is for peace; on the other hand he is engaged in the escalation of war. On the one hand he is for the public option in health care and on the other he holds to the ...

Until I was a junior in high school, I had never heard of the University of Chicago. This was despite the fact that the first human initiated nuclear detonation occurred there and that more Nobel Laureates were on faculty at the school than any other university in the world. It was only when I was accepted to the college that I came to understand that I was at the epicenter of the conservative, economic juggernaut -- the one represented by ...
