The Week In Review: 4/20-4/26
Wow! What a week of stories in the blogosphere! First things first: The news in the 42nd Congressional District is that Ed Chau is the fundraising leader in that race. Big deal. No surprise there. Or is there? Turns out Ed lent his campaign 20 grand, so the gap isn’t as large as it seems.…

And They Call *ME* Buffy?!
(Click the logo to view) Do not attempt to adjust your computer. The logo you see is not a malfunction. Meghan McCain, daughter of Presidential hopeless John McCain, is dumbing down his campaign for the MTV set (who likely won’t vote Republican for at least 15-20 years) through the use of her seemingly Paris Hilton…

Props to Pennsylvania: Working Class Dems Elect Clinton
Forget ‘Obama Girl.’ Make way for the ‘Comeback Kid.’ I said it before, and I’ll say it again. You just can’t stop a Clinton.

has been fired! A week ago I was considering writing a story about the battle of the Nguyens after I began seeing Janet’s signs out so quickly, but eventually I abandoned it because I’ve always felt that there is no such thing as too early to start campaigning. In many ways, a politician should actually…

Iraq, budget balancing, the Presidency, and the impending depression. A primer.
Extend the Bush tax cuts? Economic stimulus? I’m sorry. Come again? Will W even begin to fathom the monstrosity of his economic policies before it’s too late? If the 80’s brought ‘yuppies,’ then this decade brings the ‘tubbies.’ The tubbies are those people who, already fat, made themselves fatter at the expense of market stability.…
