Last night, my husband and I took a break from work, volunteerism, and looking after the household in order to host friends for an Independence Day celebration, including watching a particularly lovely fireworks display over the Potomac River.After the…

Lots of folks I know are discussing how they will be spending Independence Day. I will spend tomorrow with friends and family watching fireworks over the Potamac. Then, I will be going up to Boston on business. Thoughts of independence and of Massachus…

Marc Rubin and I were lucky enough to be interviewed for No Quarter radio. Listen.

“For those who voted for me, and are now considering not voting for Barrack or for voting for John McCain, I strongly urge you to reconsider”. She really is a remarkable woman. One more reason to think she is the bomb!

One of the most impressive moment of tonight’s meeting, sponsored by Senator Clinton for purposes of introducing her “top” fundraisers to Senator Obama, came right before Senator Clinton turned the mike over to Senator Obama. Senator Clinton turned to…

I have been thinking about this today. I realized that I don’t want to become another ‘jerk’ that tells Hillary what she can or can’t do. Between the media, Obama, obamabots, and the DNC, this lady has seen more than her share of jerks telling her what she can and can’t do.
After giving this some [...]

A friend of mine once told me I brought “Generation X” to Hillary’s campaign. Generation X, known for it’s distrust with government, rampant political apathy, sarcasm, and angst. O. K., I’ll go with that. I too spent the better part of the 80’s as a d…

Dear PAPER, I recently returned from a 3 month stint on the campaign trail with Hillary Clinton. I drove “The Hillcar”, a painted, decorated art car I made that celebrates “All things Hillary!” This week I finally returned home and caught up on my favo…

It’s interesting how the mind works.On one level it always wants to tell the truth and sometimes it devises ways to do it on its own even when someone consciously is trying to hide it. That’s why people slip up.Obama’s unveiling of his fake presidenti…

Last night, I attended a fine production of Julius Caesar, performed by The Shakespeare Theater Company. The play and the company of a true friend were both so fine that I did in fact have a respite from all cares, including political ones.Today one o…

Apparently, some people (including Senator Obama himself) are becoming rather miffed that not every Democrat is prepared to support or vote for Senator Obama. (My own position remains the same: I will not vote for Senator McCain because I disagree wit…

This is one of the most eloquent, brave, and sensible things I have read in a good long time.

S.H.I.R.L.E.Y. ( Saying Hillary Isn’t Relevant Leaves Everybody Yearning!) this isn’t over! We’re just getting started!

Make no mistake, it is the least of my intentions to take anything away from fathers on their day of recognition. I had once hoped to become a father, and while certain impediments still stand in my way, I assume I will one day realize that dream.When…

Of transcendenceWhat to do when confronted with unbearable arrogance? Different options work for different people at different times. Without disparaging other reactions, here is the one I recommend for those of us who are now confronted by the breatht…

I found this on Dems_Against_Obama and contacted the author for permission to reprint. This is one of the finest examinations of the sham selection of the Democratic nominee I have seen yet. Enjoy! “Had to get this out. I hope you’ll indulge me.~~~I l…

As of this writing, I am not voting for Barack Obama; and I also will not be voting for John McCain.  Neither of them represent my viewpoint on the issues that are important to me.  My number one, high priority issue, is Universal Health Care coverage for all Americans.
I am unable to vote for my [...]

In all my wildest imaginings I never imagined that less than 24 hours after Hillary suspended her campaign some of her most ardent supporters would overdose on (as Pagan likes to put it) the Cult-Aide. I read and learned from a lot of these folks, they…

I watched Hillary’s speech today, and like many of her supporters, I cried.  Halfway into the speech I started to shake uncontrollably. I had to turn it off. I sat there for a while and just took some breaths. This is not normal for me. I am a realist who faces problems and defeats head on. I have indured some debilitating [...]

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton demonstrated all of her many gifts and talents at the National Building Museum today. Indeed she demonstrated, more powerfully than ever, that regardless of how this primary season actually concludes in Denver and regardl…
