Herm Edwards – Flaws of Cronyism
Good Old Boys, buddies, cronies, buds – terms of endearment. Harry Truman had a bunch of cronies. He gave some of them jobs in the White House. Not important jobs, just a paycheck to hang around and play poker at night. The important jobs of Vice President, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Defense were [...]

Kansas City Chiefs – Where is Clark Hunt?
There is a disaster unfolding in Kansas City, Missouri. It is not natural. It is hardly believable. The Kansas City Chiefs, the proud heritage of Lamar Hunt, are proving to be a huge embarrassment for everyone in Missouri who live west of the Mississippi. The Chiefs are the laughing stock of the sports world.
It is [...]
Kansas City Chiefs – 9-14-2008
This writer is a fair weather Kansas City Chiefs fan. But even mildly interested folks like myself are embarrassed again this year. The Kansas City Chiefs had one of the most potent offenses of this decade. Today we are watching a three quarterback rotation that no other team employs – Does Coach Herm Edwards understand [...]

John Edwards – Craig, Clinton, Delay
So John Edwards has admitted that he had an extra marital affair. Is this important? Possibly. The admission will definitely affect his box seats at the Democratic Convention. But is this event any different, more or less important than other travesties of silliness by other public figures. John Edwards ran for President but failed to [...]

Redneck video commentary on the election
Son,
These guys are really funny. What is funny about them? I don’t know – perhaps it is because they are so humbly accurate. At this time of political pundits on MSNBC and CNN and that other redneck station – it is refreshing to see a couple of guys that can have a good laugh.
“You know [...]
Obama has the national Delegate lead
Son,
This South Carolina primary election is really big. The Obama campaign was hoping to win up to 20 of the 45 delegates available in South Carolina. It looks like they will round up over 25 delegates. Obama already had a couple of delegates lead over Clinton.
This clearly puts Obama in the driver’s seat. The win [...]
Obama Wins South Carolina- AP says Rout!
Son,
This is a big day in American Politics. Barack Obama has won the South Carolina Democratic Primary. The Associated Press is calling this victory a rout. The white vote split three ways with Obama, Clinton, and Edwards.
What can this mean? Obama continues to show strength. He seemed to lose some steam after Iowa and some [...]
Media Fails in Democratic Election News
Son,
The economic crunch we are all feeling right now should highlight the disparity in media attention on the candidates. As I wrote in my post on economic stimulus politicians should be addressing the real human consequences of a recession. John Edwards does this with forceful resolve, with a passionate understanding of issues, and with the [...]
Edwards brings dignity to debate, 1-21-08
Son,
The democratic debate was a series of heated exchanges between Clinton and Obama. John Edwards brought the debate back to the issues. Chris Matthews would probably say that women and black folk don’t know how to talk civilly. The reality is that Obama and Clinton see each other as the competition because the media [...]
Democratic Debate – January 21, 2008
Son,
These folks are working hard to distinguish themselves from the crowd. They have similar position on a variety of issues – so what is left to distinguish. Leadership, character, honesty, courage… This sounds personal – but I think there is purpose.
Obama has been doing well – and that attracts attention. Clinton and Edwards both attacked [...]
Bill Clinton Supports Hillary
Son,
Are you surprised? Is anyone surprised? What are the other spouses doing? But this is Bill Clinton – former President of the United States. Traditionally former presidents have not taken a position until their party nominee is selected – but this is just another example of the historical ramifications of a former First Lady being [...]
The Nevada Debate, 1-15-08, Domestic Issues
Son,
The final section of the debate is on domestic issues – but the first question is on support of the military at college and universities and whether ROTC should be offered and military recruiters should be allowed on campus.
Clinton says “Yes, they should allow recruiters and not do anything to disrespect the military.”
Obama, “The poor [...]
Nevada Democratic Debate, 1-15-08, economy
Son,
The debate continues.
Williams, Many financial corporations are selling shares overseas, how does this strike you? ” Hillary, “I am very concerned, these are called sovereign wealth funds and they are controlled by governmental entities. We’ve got to know more about them… But let’s look at how we got here – our institutions made bets on [...]
Nevada Democratic Debate, 1-15-08, On race
Son,
The debate is on. Brian William is giving the introduction of a Q & A format. Time Russert is there – unfortunately. But Brian Williams is a fair journalist and will moderate his colleague. It begins with race.
BW to Clinton: How did we get here? Clinton, “MLK’s dreams have been realized. Senator Obama has [...]
Tucker Carlson and John Edwards
Son,
I was cooking supper and watching Tucker Carlson on the kitchen television. I don’t why I do this to myself. Tucker has a limited intellect and is removed from the real world by hanging to much with Chris Matthews.
Tucker was interviewing a John Edwards supporter, I don’t remember who it was. Tucker asked, “John Edwards [...]
Chris Matthews, Racist, Chauvinist
Son,
The star of Chris Matthews has risen. Now we can see who he really is. And it is not pretty.
Clinton scored a huge comeback in New Hampshire. Matthews explanation – “…the New Hampshire voters lied to the pollsters. They lied about voting for a black man because they were embarrassed… Hillary did not show her [...]
Hey Hillary – You go Girl!
Son,
It is a great night for Democrats. The pollsters and pundits, including me, guessed wrong on New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton has pulled off a win that leaves the Democratic Party in a healthy position to continue this race.
John Edwards is saying that he will continue through the convention. Barack Obama has great strength. This is [...]
