Continue readingDQ here. Maybe all of the super smart readers of the Bookwormroom have this all figured out, but I’m having a bit of trouble understanding whether the conservative objection to Obamacare is to the whole idea of the government being involved in health care or to the proposed implementation. Please

Continue readingAs I write this Oakland braces for violence in the wake of the Mesherle sentencing. Mayor Dellums has just given a speech in which he said he decided whether justice was done by looking at the reaction of the family and, since the family was upset, he believed justice was not done. Then,
Continue readingThe afternoon carpool routine is kicking in, so blogging is over for now. My last plea to you is that, if you have a few pennies, help Renee Ellmers in her recount battle. The RNC is taking this one seriously and is kicking in some money, but the North Carolina
Continue readingDemocrats are wondering how the pendulum could have swung so quickly in two years. The premise underlying this wonderment is wrong. They perceived a pendulum swing to the Left, only because they managed to run an election that hid from the voters the fact that they were electing an exceptionally

One story was that he fed his followers hashish to bring them in line, but others dispute that claim. What is known, though, is

Continue readingBob Etheridge is demanding a recount against Renee Elmer. Apparently he understood what I said yesterday, which is that a candidate shouldn’t concede before the last vote is counted. He seems to think that he shouldn’t concede even long after the last vote is counted. But still, a recount is
Continue readingI feel as if I should say something profound, but I don’t really have that much that is profound to say. I do have a few observations, and then I’ll start compiling a running list of good post-election posts (so check back often): I’ll repeat what I said yesterday: it
