The Chinese Wall of Unemployment When a poor man runs for President, the first thing you do, is go on unemployment. Before you petition…or get on the ballot…or name a campaign committee…make sure you go on unemployment! I try to get unemployment for two months and finally say the hell with it. First they ask my name, address, social security, checking account number, PIN number, phone number, employer Federal ID number, last employer, birthday, occupation, education, race, ethnicity, language, mother’s maiden name, shoe size and preferred sexual position. The powerful Department of Employment Computer I hit “submit” and they tell me is incomplete, I ... Read Full Story

I’m wondering what you think the odds are the McCain Campaign will call off the scheduled debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden? As for me, my hunch is some “emergency” will come up that forces the Republicans to postpone the debate. At some point after that, the Republicans will find some “reason” the Democrats are to blame for why the debate cannot be rescheduled. Either that scenario, or… Palin will step down from the race either before or after the October 2nd debate with Biden. But I’m horrible at making predictions about political maneuvers. So, what do you think will happen? Posted in ... Read Full Story

  Puerto Rican Guy Announces his Platform CAMBRIDGE - After a month of study at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, the Puerto Rican who is demanding change from everyone in America, announced some “Harvard ideas” that stunned the entire nation. The Puerto Rican galloped down the steps of Widener Library and trampled a Chinese pre-med student. “So solly,” he yelled, and threw a fistful of dollars at the stunned Chinaman. Then he turned to the crowd. “Los politicos are so smart!” he shouted. “Every time they break a promise, they replace it with a better one. But El Zorro is smarter. I am ... Read Full Story
The glib answer to this is to suggest that she'd do the party a great service by not running at all. Yesterday I wrote that she's a "wrecker not a uniter" and that she could hijack the primary season to disastrous effect. That's clearly one possibility. But there are others, including some which might actually help the GOP and not merely by demonstrating the limits of Palinism and, consequently, lancing that particular boil. Though I think he...

Asked during last night’s Republican debate about whether his campaign was downplaying his health care plan, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney replied, “I love it.” While praising the plan as a model of bipartisanship — and citing support for it from both Ted Kennedy and the Heritage Foundation — Romney failed to tell viewers what was in the plan. It’s worth reminding people, therefore, that the plan Romney loves: Imposes an...

Even Mitt Romney doesn't like to be called "Romneyesque" these days. The word has a legacy albatross from the 2008 Republican primary, when Romney, a can-do pragmatic governor of a relatively liberal state, swerved to the right to prove himself acceptable to conservative primary voters. "Romneyesque," as an epithet, conveys a willingness to abandon one's core convictions -- in Romney's case, temperance and modesty on social issues -- in order...

In October, everybody seemed to be doing it -- getting into the campaign in New York’s 23rd Congressional District, that is. It was a three-way race among Republican Deirdre Scozzafava, Democrat Bill Owens, and Conservative Doug Hoffman to fill the seat that had been left vacant when President Obama tapped Republican John McHugh as secretary of the Army. Endorsements became such a popular sport for out-of-state Republicans that the special...
