Like most supporters of equal rights for gays and lesbians, I am very disappointed that Barack Obama has chosen Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback Church to deliver the invocation at his swearing-in ceremony next month. Warren's opposition to legal rights for homosexuals is documented, and in fact...

They got my mailbox. Stole it. Because of the Obama logo, and in spite of the American flag I painted on it. I admit, it pisses me off. I built that mailbox out of spare cedar boards from the construction of our house on Wildwood Trail here in the Town of Delafield. My wife helped me design it, and my...

I must confess, other than a few moments during Barack Obama's speech in Grant Park, I have not felt the glowing effects of euphoria from Barack's election that many have. (Note: Those of us who worked on the campaign usually referred to Senator Obama by his first name. I don't mean to intimate...

The smug, mocking remarks about grassroots American politics – community organizing - at the Republican National Convention by Rudolph Guliani and Sarah Palin now ring like music in the ears of the multitude of us who have organized an end to the era of Ronald Reagan and the divisive politics of Lee...

If you're interested enough to read this, I am pretty certain that I don't need to remind you to vote today. You probably already have. SO, now you wait, like the rest of us to see how this will go down. Will Obama's sweep be so overwhelming that the inevitable little skirmishes about ballots...

I have really been conflicted over my decision not to attend the McCain/Palin "rally" in Waukesha yesterday. I saw the clips from the event last night, and woke up this very early this morning wondering who was this guy, the angry black guy, that so moved Senator McCain with his personal attack...

I was planning on attending the McCain/Palin town hall in Waukesha tomorrow morning. But I won't do it. McCain and Palin have crossed the line, and I will not be a witness to their hate-fest. At recent McCain and Palin rallies, they have implied that Barack Obama is anti-American, and whipped their...

Last night in the second Presidential debate, John McCain looked very much like the tired old warrior that he is. Swinging as if from memory, but rarely moving anything but air, he struggled to even stay on his feet. I'll admit, it wasn't much of a town hall, in the sense that most of the questions...

Get ready to be assaulted by the nastiest political campaign you have ever seen. Plummeting in the pools, and with no message that resonates with the voters, the McCain campaign's only hope is to try to tear down Barack Obama as a man. From the Washington Post : "We're going to get a little...

I am sure that you do not consider yourself a racist. And I know you don't want to think your neighbor is. Or that nice man that coaches your kid's soccer team. Although preference for people who look and act like us is hard-wired into the stems of our brains, we all like to think that our higher...
