Read more "Toni Morrison’s endorsing Barack Obama"An Obamawatch 2008! exclusive article. This is an article that I received via email concerning the media’s perpetual fascination with Sen. Barack Obama and his pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. I think it does stand to reason that any article published in a newspaper of a major […]
Read more "Good Press for Obama’s pastor?"We are now on Obamawatch 2008! I vowed that after the South Carolina primaries, and the presumable win of Sen.

Read more "I’ve Come Too Far Not To Throw My Rock!"This rarely happens, but this is in fact an article that stands alone and I have no extra commentary with which to support it. Steven Benen does an excellent job in stating his point. This was an email forward and I hope that those who read it pass it on to their friends and put this […]
