Imagine you’re a member of the U.S. Senate and you’re part of the Democratic majority, but you’re a moderate, firmly in the mainstream and the farthest thing from a bomb-throwing ideologue. You don’t dislike all of your Republican colleagues on the other side of the aisle. Hell, you might even like some of them more […]
A few years ago after Kanye West pulled his “Hey look at me!” stunt at the MTV Video Awards and showed up Taylor Swift no less than the President joined in the chorus of disapproval and called West, “a jackass.” Kanye has worked very hard since to justify that put down. The other day he […]
The Tea Party is not racist. The TEA Party is not racist. The Tea PARTY is not racist. THE Tea Party is not racist. No matter how many times or how many ways you say it, you can’t deny it: The Tea Party IS racist. As hell. Let us not dither or waffle or obfuscate. When […]
