Saturday Night at the Television Movies
The first time I saw the trailer and heard “American Woman” I felt like I should get ready to go on the air again, because I used it as my intro back when I was dabbling in radio. It’s the lead-in for HBO’s “Game Change”, whose roll out has mimicked a Hollywood theatrical production. The [...]
Mitt Romney Minute: Serve Him Some of Those Grits Ya’ll
Art offers his perspective as a movement progressive activist. Mitt is channeling his inner Paula Deen in the South. “Morning, ya’ll,” Romney told a campaign rally on Friday in Jackson, Mississippi. “I got started this morning right with a biscuit and some cheesy grits.” Too bad Santorum can’t find his populist groove against Mittens. Mitt [...]
Nude Mama Caught in a Sandra Fluke Moment
Amid Rush Limbaugh’s sexist rants and women rising up to let Republicans know they’ve gone to far, the Jessica Simpson April cover for Elle seems frivolous.

Super Tuesday Gets Ugly

Just Call Him Barack Obama, The Israeli Hawk
“It felt like pandering.” – Steve Clemons Clemons is talking about the interview Pres. Obama gave to his colleague Jeffrey Goldberg.

Mitt Romney ‘Not willing to light my hair on fire’ for Support
Worst of all, there is no clear end in sight for what has become, in the eyes of many Republicans, a joyless and prolonged nomination fight. Even Romney victories in Michigan and Arizona, the two states voting Tuesday, have little chance of forcing his aggrieved opponents out of the race. With a vast personal fortune [...]
Michigan is All the Marbles for Mitt
