History is a Liberal Judge
•
Getting a pair of shoes tossed at him may end up being the only punishment Bush gets. Pathetic.
A Diverse Cabinet That Looks Like America
•
Barack Obama’s cabinet is widely praised by the mainstream press is diverse. But ideological diversity doesn’t seem to be part of it. If this is a cabinet that looks like America, then America is 80% conservative Democrat, 20% Republican.
Obama’s Stagecraft
•
First Obama’s transition team bogarted the official .gov domain suffix to invent some wacky “Change.gov” website.

What else is he going to stagemanage?

•
Hoping against hope, liberal Democrats hope the most conservative Democratic primary candidate will use his conservative staffers to promote progressive policies.
