Howl

We are great admirers of The Daily Howler. We don’t always agree with it but at times the Howler has been a sole voice of fairness and intelligence on the internet. The Daily Howler has documented the ways in which election 2000 was debased by Big Media and threatens to debase the 2008 election. The [...]

Lost Souls: Authors With Nothing Better To Do And How They Have Exposed Hillary (Rodham) Clinton’s And Abraham Lincoln’s Ham Handed, Calculating, Conniving Contrapting Plots To Seize The White House: The Publicity Campaign To Stop This Unless…

Big Media, Hillary Haters and campaign opponents are all atwitter about 2 books about to be published. They hope that these books will demolish the Hillary for President campaign.

We recall years ago when Tucker Carlson stated he would eat his shoe if Hillary’s upcoming autobiography Living History sold 1 million copies. Soon thereafter he was [...]

Welcome Bill Richardson

Bill Richardson, the Governor of New Mexico formally announced yesterday he is running for president in 2008. We welcome him to the race. We will not sing too many of his praises here. We are sure websites will pop up to do the praise singing for him. We will note that many Democrats thought Governor [...]

The Village Steps Up

Update: Newsday reports from Hillary’s speech today. “There are so many places to cut the money that is being spent in this government. Let’s start by cutting 500,000 of the private contractors the Bush administration has had who don’t do a job that is held accountable in any way,” Clinton said, adding that ending [...]

Confuse Your Friends

A little housekeeping note before we do our regular post or posts.

Obama Fights The Facts

Last Sunday Barack Obama appeared on This Week. His appearance was such a disaster we wrote 2 articles about it. The first article which we want to update was called Obama’s $925,000 Question. We thought it was a tough realistic piece about Obama’s dubious ethical judgements when he bought his house with the assistance of [...]

Big Media Wal-Mart Attack On Hillary

Update: The New York Times is trying to claim that their article is published on Sunday, May 20, 2007. For the record the article was published early on the morning of Saturday, May 19, 2007. We guess they rather deceive their readers as to the actual date of publication. The New York Times is trying to [...]

Move-On Attacks Obama?

Anti-war group Move-On sent an email yesterday asking for money to run advertisements against Democrats who use Ripublican talking points. Move-On is angry because a certain U.S. Senator said this regarding a cut-off of funding for the Iraq war:

“We don’t want to send the message to the troops’ that Congress does not support them.”

Move-on is [...]

The Ripublican Playbook

Ripublicans have their business-as-usual playbook. They love to label Democrats as flip-floppers. Big Media, cooperating with Ripublicans, loves to keep score with that Ripublican playbook. In recent past national elections the Ripublicans screamed “flip-flop” and unthinking Big Media took out their rubber stamp and start pounding away. It happened again yesterday.

The Senate early in the [...]

Hillary Highlights 2009

February 17, 2009

Sojourner Truth was an extraordinary American hero, and thanks to the work of Hillary Clinton in the Senate and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee in the House, Sojourner will finally be recognized with a statue in the Capitol -- the first African American woman to be so honored!

Born into slavery as one of the youngest of thirteen children of James and Elizabeth in Ulster County, New York, in 1797, Sojourner Truth’s given name was Isabella Baumfree. As almost all of her brothers and sisters had been sold to other slave owners, some of her earliest memories were of her parents’ stories of the cruel loss of their other children. [snip]

In 1843, she changed her name to Sojourner Truth – her name for a traveling preacher, one who speaks the truth – and left New York. She traveled throughout New England, where she met and worked with abolitionists such as William Lloyd Garrison, and Frederick Douglass. Her life story, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth: A Northern Slave, written with the help of friend Olive Gilbert, was published in 1850.

While traveling and speaking in states across the country, Sojourner Truth met many women abolitionists and noticed that although women could be part of the leadership in the abolitionist movement, they could neither vote nor hold public office. It was this realization that led Sojourner to become an outspoken supporter of women’s rights.

In 1851, she addressed the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, delivering her famous speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” The applause she received that day has been described as “deafening.” From that time on, she became known as a leading advocate for the rights of women. She became one of the nineteenth century’s most eloquent voices for the cause of anti-slavery and women’s rights.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the President of Gays & Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies met with each other on Friday, along with other heads of affinity groups from the State Department, during which time Clinton again voiced her pledge to review the inequities in how the State Department treats its gay and straight employees.
Michelle Schohn, president of Gays & Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies, raised the issue of how the department treats its gay employees during the brief meeting, and Clinton again promised to review current policies. Schohn stated: “It was an overwhelmingly positive meeting. There wasn’t a lot of time to talk with her because she was meeting with all the affinity groups, so we each got a tiny chunk of time to be able to say something to her.”

NOLimits.org - Because we want to stay connected with the wonderful people we met and worked with all over the country in the last two years.

Because we want to share our ideas and experiences, our common goals, and nonpartisan solutions to the challenges that we face - and there are no limits to what we can achieve when we do.

And because we want to keep working for a better future for every child, from every family – a world in which no limits is not just our goal, but a reality!

Hillary Clinton's campaign days may be behind her, but those still carrying a torch for her ideas - and perhaps for an electoral comeback someday - have a new home on the Internet.

NoLimits.org will "keep you up to date with news about issues on which Hillary took a lead and we know you care so much about," group President Ann Lewis said in an e-mail to as many as 2 million people culled from the Clinton campaign database.

Because No Limits is a registered nonprofit, "it cannot do anything political. It has to be nonpartisan," said Lewis, a longtime senior adviser to Clinton.

In Clinton's job as secretary of state for President Obama, her political dealings are highly restricted.

For example, she shut down her political action committee.

Some, like Democratic consultant and former Bill Clinton aide Chris Lehane, dismiss talk that the group could be a springboard for Clinton to try again for the White House in, say, 2016.

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar," Lehane said. "I think this is just [a] group of folks who developed relationships in an intense [electoral] environment and want to stay together."

But the University of Virginia's Larry Sabato countered: "Whenever a group like this says it's not a political organization, you just know it is."

"Maybe [this] is Hillary's answer to Obama's new 'change' group that controls his golden mailing list. Maybe it's a way for Secretary of State Clinton to mobilize backing for her objectives at the State Department," he said. "And maybe [it's] a standby committee of supporters in case Hillary decides to get back into elective politics."

Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf said NoLimits.org is "one way to make sure that she - and/or the former President - still have political leverage."

Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton Meets Afghan Women Lawyers. Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton met today at the State Department with fourteen prominent Afghan women judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys. These jurists were in Washington to participate in a training program arranged by the Department’s Public-Private Partnership for Justice Reform in Afghanistan. Secretary Clinton told them: "Your American friends greatly admire your bravery and courage. It is your work in the tough environment of Afghanistan for women lawyers that will bring real reform and the rule of law to the Afghan people. As President Obama made clear yesterday in his first foreign policy announcement, we are committed to supporting your efforts to bring security and stability to your country."

Newly confirmed Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has long had an interest in UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrial life. She was given an informal briefing in August 1995 by billionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller, on the best available UFO evidence. An August 4, 1995, memo by President Clinton's Science Advisor, Dr Jack Gibbons, confirmed that the Clintons would be vacationing with Rockefeller at his Teton Ranch in Wyoming that summer, and they would discuss UFOs:
