Former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani openly questioned the validity of the elections today and this is the result… (h/t: Daily Dish)
No major gaffes in her testimony, so the Republicans really don’t have much choice at this point. Sure, they may not agree with her politics, but they have to save their strength for bigger fights. From Wash Post: Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor won virtual assurance of rapid confirmation yesterday when Senate Republicans announced that [...]
But Palin is still close behind??? Not only that, Palin has the most favorable numbers among Republicans and Republican leaning Independents… Genuinely, I don’t get Republican’s fascination with Palin. Especially after her implosion a couple weeks ago, which was before this poll was conducted. Long story short, the GOP better hope she doesn’t run. Because [...]
“We’ve got to say to our children, yes, if you’re African American, the odds of growing up amid crime and gangs are higher. Yes, if you live in a poor neighborhood, you will face challenges that someone in a wealthy suburb does not have to face. That’s not a reason to get bad grades. That’s [...]
Yes, the very same actors…but this time they might actually help get health reform passed.

From my understanding, the main selling points of this legislation was that it would cover more [...]
Since I was out last week, I didn’t get a chance to weigh-in on the political hot-button story of the week (month?): Governor Sarah Palin’s seemingly inexplicable resignation from office. Whilst sitting on the sand, soaking up the sun and sipping my Sam Adam’s Summer Ale (how’s that for some alliteration for you?), I had [...]
“Folks look, AARP knows and the people with me here today know, the president knows, and I know, that the status quo is simply not acceptable. It’s totally unacceptable. And it’s completely unsustainable. Even if we wanted to keep it the way we have it now. It can’t do it financially. We’re going to go [...]
“To those who say that our economic decisions ‘have not produced jobs, have not produced and simply have not worked’ I say, take a look around.
