- This morning, The London Times reports that the Obama team has already been talking about how to deal with post-partum depression following his historical victory, and right they are. The way things are stacking up, people are flocking to the polls thinking that they will elect a president who all buts walks on water. The presidential hopeful is right to try to mitigate against any kind of ...

- If things don't turn out like we want, on November 4th, maybe somebody will come up with a "morning after pill" for elections!

- The race is very close, but Obama's lead is consistent! As long as he maintains a steady lead, however small, the White House is his.Remember, in the 1960 election, JFK won 49.7% of the vote, and Nixon got 49.6% of the vote, hence Kennedy won the popular vote by 1/10 of 1%. With regard to the electoral college, in 1960, it was JFK--303 to Richard Nixon--219. Obviously, the electoral college map ...

- Cries of "he's a socialist, he's a socialist" rang out in the crowd today at a John McCain rally. My father once said that everything is cyclical. Even my father couldn't have predicted the fear-trotting, and sophistry, that is the radical right. Somebody coached Sarah Palin to think that by invoking red fright the unprecedented number of red states ...

- Leave it to the hate brigade to see the world in black and white—quite literally. Following Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama, Rush Limbaugh immediately pronounced the decision was based on race. Many of Rush’s fellow travelers soon chimed in. In their minds, the decision was obvious. Both men are black. Therefore, Powell will naturally support Obama. This assumption begs a ...

- I don’t feel bad for John McCain anymore. Now I feel angry. Over the course of tonight’s debate I saw a man who was petty and angry and completely without honor. Spouting off falsehoods and continuing to attack Obama with lies while trying to play the victim and get him to “repudiate” John Lewis. Obama, again to his credit, did not rise to the bait. You could see the frustration ...

- Did you happen to catch Sarah Palin tell the Associated Press how "thankful" she is that panel findings show "there weren't any ethics violations, and no laws were broken."If nothing else, the past thirty-odd years of American history have shown us that sociopaths have found a home in our nation's capital. Look at Richard Nixon who would be the first to tell you sociopaths ...

- It’s not the freakish, shrill non-answers she gives in the few not-quite interviews by not even close to journalists. It’s not the hard core fundamentalism, sugar-coated to create an illusion that she supported her unmarried teenage daughter’s “choice” to carry her fetus to term, when she would have insisted on it regardless -- even if the father was her husband, who had raped her. ...

- Yom Kippur begins tonight. This holy day is the fulcrum of the Jewish year: in preparation, we do a cheshbon hanefesh—a soul inventory—cleaning up our conduct and relationships to ready ourselves for the moment tonight when the beautiful Kol Nidre prayer is chanted, annulling all vows, reminding us that in the deepest place, in the deepest way, we are free. Everywhere I look these days, I ...
