Incredibly, Obama claims jobs that haven’t been lost yet as jobs that have been created, or “saved,” by his stimulus non-plan.
Presidential Entropy
•
Just wait…a few years from now, we’ll look back at George W. Bush and wonder why we were so hard on him.
Responsibility
•
Barack Obama, trying to court conservative whites with dim views of black males, attacks black men for being bad parents.
The First Woman Presidential Candidate
•
Hillary Clinton is toast. But at least she has opened the door for other women to run for, and lose the race for, president.
The Feminist
•
Drawn largely in response to Hillary Clinton’s victories in West Virginia and Kentucky.
Smart Girl
•
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s quest for the Democratic nomination appears doomed, and I can’t say she didn’t deserve it after voting for the Iran war resolution (an act that proves she didn’t learn anything from her vote to invade Iraq). Still, one can’t help but feel sad about the message this sends to women.
Better Voting Through Quantum Theory
•
Hillary Clinton’s waning presidential campaign claims that she is in the lead. But you have to use her “New Math,” which doesn’t count delegates. It counts the total primary popular vote, and includes the states of Michigan and Florida, neither of which count. In Michigan, Obama wasn’t even on the ballot.
Even a Broken Democracy
•
Part of why American democracy is so fucked up: Even when people vote the right way, they do it for the wrong reasons. This week’s example: John Edwards is by far the best candidate. But some of his supporters are oh so wrong.
