Say it ain’t so, Joe! If you’re following the healthcare bill developments, you’ll know that: Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s abrupt announcement that he will sink the health-care bill if it includes a provision to expand Medicare has spurred a torrent of angry recriminations from Democrats — and confusion among those trying to divine his motives. A [...]

. . . And What We Should Be Talking About.
The President’s Afghanistan speech, delivered last night at West Point. First, I think it’s ridiculous to suggest that President Obama took too long to make a critical decision involving our troops and this country’s (as well as the world’s) security. Perhaps if there had been more deliberation on the decision to go to war in Iraq, things wouldn’t be [...]

Welcome To Post-Racial America.
I visited The Huffington Post this morning and a quick review of its site reflected what seems like the media’s increased interest in giving a platform to the racists and lunatics that have cropped up since President Obama’s election. Now mind you, these folks have always been here: hovering around the fringes, locking their car doors [...]

Worth Reading: Don’t Hold Obama To Race Agenda
A couple of weeks ago, Melissa Harris-Lacewell, associate professor of politics and African-American studies at Princeton, commented on the crisis of the black public intellectual in the age of Obama. And she put it down. In her piece, Harris-Lacewell takes to task what she calls the “soul patrol,” the group of black, male intellectuals (Tavis Smiley, Dr. Cornell West, [...]

Worth Reading
This weekend, I came across a great Washington Post article on Leah Ward Sears, Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court (a major accomplishment in and of itself), and her unlikely friendship with US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, after he telephoned her to offer support when she faced political attacks in the ’90s : Many years after [...]

Michael Steele Backs Down . . .
After being checked by Rush Limbaugh on air yesterday, Michael Steele bowed down at the altar and quickly offered a my bad for dismissing Limbaugh as incendiary and an entertainer. Wow, brother. Here’s the web’s commentary on this embarassing punking: The Shame Of Michael Steele Steele To Rush: I’m Sorry Kenneth The Page Is Glad [...]

Video of the Day: President Obama vs. Kenneth The Page
After President Obama’s address to Congress, the media/blogger consensus is that he delivered in a big way, while Governor Bobby Jindal evoked the spirit of 30 Rock’s Kenneth the Page during the Republican response. I watched Jindal (with jaw dropped) as he delivered a speech that was not only a trainwreck in delivery, but appeared to be a laundry list of outdated talking points [...]

The Morning Papers
Dick Cheney’s been making the rounds in the press. Check out the wonderful tributes to him here, here and here as he exits. Cheney also mocks incoming VP Joe Biden’s grasp pf the Constitution (I’m literally floored here) and Congress, even though he’s leaving the White House as one of the shadiest VPs in history. One of Cheney’s criticisms: that Biden won’t have [...]

The Morning Papers
Paulson wants to spend the second half of the bailout money. What did he do with the first half? Auto industry officially on life support. This gives new meaning to Lil Wayne’s “Mrs. Officer.” Wasn’t this called “Liar, Liar?” Hillary tells Kennedy detractors to relax. Some Iraqi’s want a return to the way they were. [...]
