McCain Rips off Obama's Logo and Slogan
I am now calling McCain and his campaign the "The McCain RipOff Campaign." This isn't my first go around with McCain rip offs. I think it highly probable that McCain ripped off my idea on President's Questions. Of course it is possible that he got the idea somewhere else, but the similarities are still striking.

Hard Numbers: The Economy Is Worse Than You Think
Amazing article showing how the books have been cooked for the last 48 years. It also makes sense. Prices are incredibly high compared to wages. This is the only thing that explains why this is so, yet the 'official' inflation numbers are so low.

NY Feminists for Peace and Barack Obama - A Petition
(1 comments) ... We are also moved by the positive tone of the Obama campaign, the tremendous energy it has released across the country, the dramatic engagement of young people and the impetus for change that his candidacy embodies. We are speaking out now because we cannot afford to elect another President who will continue the aggressive, interventionist policies of the present.

Krugman at NY Times shows how Libertarianism is a failed policy vis-a-vis Housing and Lending Bubble
Ron Paul is attempting to gain new converts to the philosophy of Libertarianism. His supporters say that the market would never wage war, hurt people or do anything bad. Believe that and I have a couple of bridges to sell you. Krugman makes the point well.

Obama Should Repudiate and Cancel His Gay Bash Tour, and Do It Now
Has Obama gone mad? Having a campaign tour that includes a member who is virulently anti-gay? I may have been an Edwards supporter, but I at least liked Obama a lot before this. But now? Gay rights is one of my most important issues. If Obama goes through with this, I will not even vote for him if he is the Democratic nominee.

Why Are Most Democratic Senators Hiding even from Censure?
(3 comments) When the history of the Bush Administration is finally written, the date of August 6, 2007, should stand out. That was the day that a pair of identical resolutions were introduced in the Senate and in the House to censure George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Alberto Gonzales for a catalogue of sins, which could easily be turned into an impeachment bill of particulars.

Winning the White House? History's Against Them.
(2 comments) I think I have found what sort of history and mentality is driving the Democratic Party right now. I've been confused, to be sure, but it looks like they are attempting to avoid the mistakes of past parties in the same situation. I'm a big one on paying attention to history, but I am not sure this is the right advice to which to be listening.

(3 comments) So in Congress' self-proclaimed first 100 hours, speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered on her promise to have the House pass bills raising the federal minimum wage, cutting interest rates on student loans and helping bring down the cost of prescription drugs. But none of that legislation has passed the Senate.
