Barack knocks Rev. Wright's remarks out of the ballpark It might've been strike 3 for Barack Obama, but he knocked the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's comments out of the ball park in about as clean and forceful a swing as you're likely to see in the World Series of politics.

Bush Defense Secretary Admits 9/11 Was Blowback Last week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates made the following jaw-dropping statement: "We were attacked from Afghanistan in 2001, and we are at war in Afghanistan today, in no small measure because of mistakes this government made." That's an astonishing confession, even if mine was the only jaw that dropped.

If McCain, Hillary and Obama all face Strike 3, is it really baseball? You want to cry out, "Say it ain't so, Barack. Say it ain't so...." But Casey's at the bat, the pitch is on its way. And there is no joy in Mudville.... Since I wrote those words in my last column, both Hillary Clinton and John McCain made blunders that could be called Strike Two.

With Obama at the bat, is there no hope for joy in Mudville? You could see it coming from the top deck. Obama's had 20 years to take aim at this pitch, but like Casey in Ernest Lawrence Thayer's perennial classic, "Casey at the Bat," Obama let it sail right across the plate. Until Tuesday that is...

Obama swamped by perfect storm as Hillary blows in Barack Obama ran into a perfect storm of bad publicity, scandal, crossover Republicans, energized women, a resourceful and hard-working opponent in Hillary Clinton, and remorseful media bending over backwards to throw her a lifeline.

CAN WE TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT OBAMA? A lifetime ago a friend asked, "What do you make of Barack Obama?" My unrehearsed response: "When I see Obama, I see a dead man walking. Do you honestly believe they'll ever let him be our president?" "They who?"

Obama Would Rid the World of Nukes, Hillary's Not So Clear. What Say You? It's a deal-breaker for those with the imagination to envision a future in which the world is not put at risk by human folly. Hillary won't call for a world without nukes. Obama did so long ago. Naive? Not according to Kissinger, Shultz, Nunn and Perry, four Cold Warriors calling for an end to the age of nukes.

On Obama and Fears We Dare Not Name We've known others who swept America off her feet with youthful looks, charisma and idealism. How well you know their fate. So let's leave it at this: When I look at Obama's family, I can't bring myself to believe America will allow these sweet, attractive people of color to occupy the White House.

Obama, Edwards wash away Hillary's bogus claim of "change" Friday morning I heard Hillary say this: "When we talk about change, we need somebody who won't just SAY change... What we need is somebody who can PRODUCE change, just like I've been doing for thirty-fiiiiive years." Never has a phrase sounded so tired.

Though sailing blind, still the pilot cries 'Full speed ahead' The crash and oil spill at the Golden Gate Bridge might be the perfect metaphor of Dubya's presidency, if there were only a board of pilots to hold Bush accountable.

John Lennon's death, Dec. 8, 1980, hit hardest John Lennon's public death hit hardest of all. Youth was over. Idealism lay slain.

Oh Frabjous Day! Nuke Iran? World War III? Ooops! Nevermind.... Is that the Earth moving under our feet? The basis for war on Iran is undermined. Could Bush be ready for some peace?

An unfinished holiday list of things I'm grateful for It's a dad-blamed beautiful, savage and confounding world, in fact, the best one yet.

UFOs? That's a good question, Tim, but I've got even better ones The most condescending question in any debate this year was addressed to the candidate who's been right about more things than any other.

Lessons from the past and our ever-dawning future Knowledge that the US meddled in Iran, gave Pakistan the bomb and the means to deliver it should inform future policy decisions.

Al Gore drew a circle that brought us all in... Let us now praise biased judges, vote suppressors, mudslingers and superficial media for casting Al Gore from the circle of power in 2000. They just might've helped save the Earth. Al Gore drew a circle that took them all in.

A Coal Miner's Last Words Resonate Still Even before 9/11, Bush's arrogant tactic of appointing foxes to run henhouses alienated many of us. Bush has placed energy and arms merchants in charge of foreign policy, lumber executives in charge of forests, polluters in charge of the EPA, a yes-man in charge of justice, and he named Stickler--a former mine executive with a flawed saftey record--Mine Safety Czar. I wonder if he's read the dying words of a lost miners....
