OK, I watched the Vivi O’Donnell video. I got the point of the video. I also get the point Rosie is willing to stoop to any level to promote her vitriol. I also think Rosie’s gonna get a lot of heat over this only because she didn’t take the time to make [...]

Galvin says the federal Justice Department is pressuring Boston election officials to translate candidates’ names into Chinese characters in precincts with prominent Chinese-speaking populations.
But there’s more than a little lost in translation, according to Galvin.
The article goes on to point out the problems converting names to Chinese encounters such as Mitt [...]

Elizabeth Edwards sent a personal message out to the world for Ann Coulter to hear after Coulter made this rather non-political comment:

Just read this:
The big question right now among Republicans is how to remove Vice President Cheney from office. Even before this week’s blockbuster series in The Post, discontent in Republican ranks was rising.
That’s Sally Quinn’s assertion. I’m a Republican, and I had never heard that “big question” before. Ever. She then continues [...]

The media is making a deal out of the fact the three perceived front runners, Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, and Michael Bloomberg, are all from New York. Just a point of clarification on that story. Rudy is indeed born and raised in New York. Bloomberg was born and spent a lot of [...]

Steve Forbes is all undone about the political posturing of several members of Congress who are making claims they’re gonna fix the price of oil. Here’s a couple of snippets:
