BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

And I do mean, LADIES! AGGREGATOR VIEWERS, CLICK HERE FOR THE ABOVE VIDEO Go, Geraldine Ferraro That was a great interview today, Geraldine (despite the audio problem at the beginnning). You were the first, and we’ll always remember you for that. And you’ll always be in our hearts for your bravery in the face of hideous and wholly unfair attacks on you during this primary season. And I hope you got to read Geraldine Ferraro’s outstanding op-ed, “ What Hillary Clinton’s women want,” published yesterday in the New York Daily News : Hillary Clinton's speech before the convention on Tuesday night was brilliant. It reminded me of the one that Jesse Jackson gave in 1984 after a very contentious primary, when his name would be put into nomination the next evening and his 465-1/2 delegate votes would be recorded in the history books. His speech soared with reminders of a historic campaign, thanked supporters and recognized it was time to move on as a unified party. Hillary's remarks, h...

The Obama Thugs got their boy in. He's the nominee. Hillary's lukewarm endorsement was still one of the best speeches she's ever given. In terms of her, I want her to look to 2012, when people will REALLY need her to step in and clean up any further messes made. Here's where I stand - NOBAMA. There is no way in hell I am voting for or backing Barack Obama. The guy gives me the creeps. Yes, I have seen the Temple of Obama being built for the dear boy at the DNC. After Bubba's speech tonight, I am not watching anymore. I am not a Democrat. And I don't have to watch one more second of that pathological con-man and his duped, memerized worshippers or that wife of his, who also gives me the creeps. My hats off to my fellow PUMA s. Despite being maligned and called names (like 'immature' and 'rude' and being told to 'get over it') you stuck to your convictions. And you continue to stick to your convictions. Let's all work toget...

Barack Hussein Obama troubles me deeply. What really troubles me is his lack of cohesive plans to help the ills of the U.S. and his cult-figure like sweep through the youth and ultra-liberal/ sick of Republicans people of the U.S. I am sick of the Neocons too but I also know, Obama ain't the answer - at least this election cycle. And unfortunately, the people of the United States and Superdelegates aren't engaging their brains but falling it lock step with the Cult of Obama. Scary. I am not quite sure who I am going to get behind but it ain't Obama, that's for sure. And I always say, if you want to know a man - check out his wife. Well, Michele Obama's Princeton thesis is now available... and it's verrrryyyy innnntterrrressttttingggg! Michelle Obama thesis was on racial divide By: Jeffrey Ressner Michelle Obama's senior year thesis at Princeton University, obtained from the campaign by Politico, shows a document written by a young woman grappling with ...

WE HAVE BECOME THEM Or reverted? (I'd probably fit right in with the elephants...) Political Animals ( Yes, Animals ) By NATALIE ANGIER As the candidates have shown us in the succulent telenovela that is the 2008 presidential race, there are many ways to parry for political power. You can go tough and steely in an orange hunter’s jacket, or touchy-feely with a Kleenex packet. You can ally yourself with an alpha male like Chuck Norris, befriend an alpha female like Oprah Winfrey or split the difference and campaign with your mother. You can seek the measured endorsement of the town elders or the restless energy of the young, showily handle strange infants or furtively slam your opponents. Just as there are myriad strategies open to the human political animal with White House ambitions, so there are a number of nonhuman animals that behave like textbook politicians. Researchers who study highly gregarious and relatively brainy species like rhesus monkeys, baboons, dolphins, sperm wha...

Redundance on Religion The proper role of faith in the presidency still eludes candidates. By Charles Krauthammer Mitt Romney declares, “Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.” Barack Obama opens his speech at his South Carolina Oprah rally with “Giving all praise and honor to God. Look at the day that the Lord has made.” Mike Huckabee explains his surge in the polls thus: “There's only one explanation for it, and it's not a human one. It’s the same power that helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves feed a crowd of 5,000 people.” This campaign is knee-deep in religion, and it’s only going to get worse. I’d thought that the limits of professed public piety had already been achieved during the Republican CNN/YouTube debate when some squirrelly looking guy held up a Bible and asked, “Do you believe every word of this book?” — and not one candidate dared reply: None of your damn business. Instead, Giuliani, Romney, and Huckabee bent a knee and tried appeas...
