Jesse Jackson Drops "Hate" Bomb on Barack Obama

Heloise — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:46:46 EDT

Jackson wields the knife, The New Yorker provides cover.
Peter Abelard, Heloise’s medieval counterpart, was never threatened with castration; he was castrated as he lay asleep, waylaid by relatives of Heloise. It reminds us all that one is more likely to be hurt, maimed, castrated or killed by one of our own, under our roof, in the camp, so to speak. Jackson uses four-letter word...

Last Tango in Texas: Obama Dances Across History

Heloise — Wed, 4 Jun 2008 10:12:26 EDT

We have a Barack-solid Democratic Presidential nominee. It�s all about Barack, now baby.
With all the hoopla surrounding the headlines of an historic moment and Barack Obama waiting quietly in the wings to claim victory before a crowd of 17,000 in St. Paul, Texas’ final convention is forgotten. Obama is finally the party-elect nominee. The primaries of South Dakota and Montana provide the music for this waltz across the finish...

Mouth Bush Erupts in Israel and Other Stump Stories

Heloise — Mon, 19 May 2008 19:53:02 EDT

Yes, this week Hillary �Rocky� Clinton and other Democrats circled the wagon and fired back to help Obama stave off the short knife of a weak am-Bush.
The news cycle of the past month was rich with stories of cyclones, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the world. So the last thing we needed in the US of A was a neo-political eruption from the unpopular George “Gushing” Bush. By his own admission and my own chronicle he has trouble with the English language see Rove Resigns,...

Steeling Scranton PA: Barack Will You Take This Woman to be Your Awful Vetted Vice?

Heloise — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 02:52:36 EDT

The Dems are fielding two top dogs in a one-way race.
I watched the pitiful "Hope and Hopeless" debate last week in Philadelphia. I watched the painful primary returns in Pennsylvania this week—now, I am not sure who gets top billing in that headline! But my reaction to the debate was simple: Barack looked handsome as he tried to defend himself against scurrilous attacks on his...

Blame Barack!

Heloise — Tue, 1 Apr 2008 19:58:53 EDT

We can blame Barack for this primary-voting mania and that is part of the fun.
When six thousand people show up for a convention (March 29) to elect state delegates at the Will Rogers Coliseum instead of in the auditorium of a local high school…blame Barack. When people start lining up at 7:00 a.m. for a convention that did not begin until more like 4:00 p.m. and goes until 4:00 a.m.— blame Barack. When people...

Obama Walks on Hot Water: Addressing America on Race, Religion and Rev. Wright

Heloise — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:52:03 EDT

Barack Obama's speech today was a bombshell; it was not safe rather it was a bold walk on hot water.
We warned you there would be drama with Obama. Before he could walk on hot water today; Barack Obama had to cool down those waters. Clearly, he thinks it’s so over the top that a “major speech” (transcript) was needed to reassure the country and bring it together. The speech was scheduled to begin at 10:15 a.m. ET, but did not...

Fodder Figure: Barack Blogs Around the Block

Heloise — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 14:44:59 EDT

Finally, I am fed up with the Right�s �Barack as black boogey-man� argument because it plays only to the base of human nature -- fear.
On the Net everyone is your neighbor. We are each but a one-click search away from the other, each but a flying finger down the block, and boom, you are in someone else’s space or backyard. And the New York Times’ recent purchase of a website called Blogrunner has brought some of the best bloggers under the same tent.So, with time on...

The Texas Two-Step: A Dem Disgrace

Heloise — Thu, 6 Mar 2008 08:33:45 EST

We may all need psychological counseling when this thing is done wringing us out on its high-spin cycle.
Barack Obama should be proud of March 4, 2008. Texas has made Martin Luther King, Jr. smile this week when thousands - millions - went to the polls to vote for a candidate who most embodies the dream of King -- the candidate who best represents the closest thing to a third party candidate -- a party of the people. Obama has won more net delegates...

Ohio Dem Debate: A Scrappy Senator Clinton Knocks Herself Out

Heloise — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 04:16:05 EST

Obama did not and should not say that he would be more historic or represent greater change as the "black" president.
While I was out and about early voting today, Bill and Barack were down the block. Well not exactly. Bill was on the stump for Clinton in downtown Fort Worth, while Barack’s people were opening headquarters within walking distance, in a tiny space that shouted economy as you approached it. After signing up for volunteer work on Wednesday...

"Betray Us" Ad Brews Bonfire on Beltway, USD in Free Fall and Tiny Town of Jena Attracts Mega Crowds

Heloise — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 03:37:03 EDT

Shady discount ad trumps shaky dollar in this week's media coverage, but not Sharpton in Jena
Oprah Winfrey may be allowed in the bedrooms and reading rooms of America but she has been halted at the ballot box. Her celebration for Barack Obama at her California home, as predicted, did little to boost his overall poll numbers, but he made gains with black voters. In fact, recent California polls show Barack Obama trailing Hillary Clinton in...
