That’s the question circling around the left-o-sphere.
It started because Arianna Huffington said she was at a dinner with the McCains after the 2000 election and they had some unkind things to say about Bush, including that they didn’t vote for him.
Then a couple more Democrats who were at the dinner backed up Huffington’s [...]

We just crossed the mark and this will be the 5,002nd post on Donklephant since we started on July 13th, 2005.
If you want to say thanks, you can always hit the tip jar in the top right hand corner and donate a little something.
If not, just hit the person next to you. That’ll be funny.
Here’s [...]

Remember this post from earlier today?
Well, he was right…
Hillary Clinton’s inner circle now fears a stinging defeat is likely in North Carolina.
“Look, we worked hard and gave it our best shot, but the demographics, well, they are what they are,” a top campaign source explained to the DRUDGE REPORT as voting began Tuesday morning. [...]

It very well may be time for Barack and the next generation to take the reigns of power. But not if he or his supporters expect Boomers to step aside and hand it to him. If he wants the reigns now, he is going to have to rip it out of their hands.

This weekend Barack Obama appeared on Fox News in an interview with Chris Wallace. Liberal bloggers are not happy. Many on the activist left see Fox as the enemy and some have accused Obama of legitimizing the rightwing press.
I don’t watch Fox because I feel they too often cross the line between news and editorial [...]

And he’ll still be blogging here from time to time, but he has a new blog about his family’s experiences…
Hey. I have an idea. Let’s load up the kids and move to Italy.
Let’s call the kids The Boy and The Girl. (8 and 10 respectively. Feet tall. They’re very large kids.) Maybe [...]

Darren Garnick of The Boston Herald’s “Working Stiff” blog interviewed me and Alan for a story about “Blogger Burnout.” Unfortunately, only my answers were used, so Alan…if you want to post your answers in a separate post, please do so.
Anyway, here’s my answer about the perils of blogging…
AFRAID OF BURNOUT? Nope.
“Blogging is like anything else [...]

Well, that was quick. The decidedly one-sided BitterVoters.org is now online.
From their masthead:
Bitter, and proud of it. Clinton says we’re ‘resilient,’ but we can’t take it any more. McCain says ‘let em eat Lemons,’ but what we really need is a leader who can turn lemons into lemonade: Barack Obama.

As Americans, we are fortunate to have the First Amendment. For us, free speech is not just a value, it’s the law. Some nations are not so fortunate, and I’m not talking about poor third-world dictatorships. I’m talking about Canada.
Currently, the “Human Rights Courts” in Canada are busy punishing conservative Canadian bloggers because of their [...]

I’m not usually a big advocacy guy, but this is an important piece of legislation and I’m writing about it today in hopes that it gets wide bi-partisan support across the blogosphere.
Recently, the FEC created rules that protect bloggers from campaign finance laws, but they don’t constitute any binding law that extends that protection indefinitely. [...]

Approximately 149,000 visitors and 182,000 page views makes this our biggest month yet…by far.
Big, big, big thanks to everybody who visited, including those who stop by day in and day out.
So here’s to an even bigger April!

It’s in the works as I type and should be all done by the time you read this tomorrow. Intense Debate comments will allow threading, voting and all sorts of other cool stuff that should make the conversations on here much more engaging.
But this is a testing period, so if you have any concerns or [...]

Why?
Well, first off, you have to read this post where she mocks people who were trying to have one hour of no energy consumption around the world.
In response, she proposed the following…

Cranking up your thermostats.
Returning your CFLs.
Protesting PETA’s animal cruelty and animal rights/environmental terrorism.
Purchasing a carbon debit package.
Informing your local public school teacher of Al [...]

Jill Miller Zimon writes over at The Moderate Voice on a regular basis and now she’s up for Best Female Blogger for her blog Writes Like She Talks. Only issue? She’s going against some heavy-hitters like Digby, Taylor Marsh and Jessica Valenti of Feministing.
So help a fellow moderate/centrist/independent blogger out and vote here. It’ll take [...]

In an effort to make the conversations around here more interesting, easier to follow, etc., we’ll be testing Intense Debate commenting this coming Tuesday.
We chose them instead of Disqus because, well, I don’t think Disqus is very good. At least not in my experiences with it. And If you’ve ever tried to follow a Disqus [...]
