Criticize. Ignore. Repeat as necessary
By RICK HOROWITZ - Thursday, July 3, 2008
I’m free to criticize the people in charge, and they’re free to ignore me. Which is still a better deal than I’d find in plenty of other countries I could name. I understand that. I’m grateful for it. Still…
Don’t pin your hopes on them

All the polls show an overwhelming majority of Americans feel we’re off on the wrong track. So let me turn to the question that’s uppermost in your minds this July 4th weekend: “Do you have a flag pin?”
The rest of the schedule
By RICK HOROWITZ - Saturday, June 28, 2008After a hard-fought and historic campaign this spring, the Democratic Party continues to come together behind Barack Obama to work for victory in November. The joint appearance by Barack and Sen. Hillary Clinton in Unity, NH, is only the first of many events to come.

NEW ORLEANS --
“We’re back!” New Orleans shouts. “Tell your neighbors!”
“We’re still hurting,” New Orleans whispers. “Don’t forget us.”
What the wind and the water did almost three years ago has been only partly undone.
Off-shore oil? Stick a bit in it!

When you love to cruise all summer,
And a hybrid’s such a bummer,
Why should you give up your Hummer?
Drill a hole.
“Interro-gate”: Whose idea was it anyway?

OMAHA, NEB. --
Toddlers scampered in makeshift playgroups, oblivious to the dangers above. Their parents settled in against the cinder-block walls, or on the conveyor belts, which on a normal evening would have been filled with luggage moving from airplane back to traveler, but which this evening were motionless. There was no luggage moving. There were no planes moving. Only the wind was moving—the wind and the lightning and the torrential rain.
Move over, Martha—it’s entertaining by Dianne!

With the Dianne Feinstein way, your worries are over! At long last, entertaining is easy again!
Bill's final bow? Don't bet on it
By RICK HOROWITZ - Monday, June 2, 2008I know what you're thinking, and you have to stop thinking it. The Clintons aren't going anywhere.
What she said. Who she is
By RICK HOROWITZ - Wednesday, May 28, 2008Here’s what she didn’t say on the now-famous video: She didn’t say that she expected harm to come to Barack Obama. She didn’t say that she wanted harm to come to Barack Obama. She didn’t say that she was somehow giving permission for harm to come to Barack Obama. Even as word-savvy—even as calculating—as the Clintons are, I’m willing to believe it wasn’t deliberate.

The pundits had their fun,
But we’re not done until I’m winning,
Embarrassed? Why should he be embarrassed?
By RICK HOROWITZ - Tuesday, May 20, 2008Seven years in the Oval Office might have cost him his clout, his popularity, his legacy, but they haven’t made a dent in his certitude. He knows what he knows—whether it’s how a superpower should conduct diplomacy, or how it can pooh-pooh global warming—and he’s still perfectly happy to share what he knows with a waiting world.

“It’s still early,” Mike Huckabee insisted, months after Arizona Sen. John McCain was deemed the presumptive GOP nominee by most observers. “This is a dynamic electoral environment.”

Lately Maw Clinton's been spendin’ all her time runnin’ back and forth from North Carolina over to Indiana and back again, and now that she’s done with them, it’s off to West Virginia and Kentucky where she’ll be workin’ as hard as ever, meetin’ folks and bein’ regular, not like them elites you see with them other campaigns.
