political itch: September 2008

http://politicalitch.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Saturday, September 27, 2008. Analysis of the First Debate. Several commentators have remarked on McCain's failure to look at Obama during last night's debate. A PhD who focuses on cognitive and social behavior in monkey's posted the following comment on Talking Points Memo. Makes sense to me. My earlier post on "Pipsqueak for President," is a variation on this point. It is hard to be Alpha when you are tiny. Thursday, September 25, 2008. I love the idea of Cindi McCain hanging with someone like Todd Pal...

political itch: A Reservoir of Emotion

http://politicalitch.blogspot.com/2008/11/reservoir-of-emotion.html

Sunday, November 2, 2008. A Reservoir of Emotion. Talking today with a friend about the Presidential election, we shared some stories of working forty and fifty years ago, as liberal organizers, to make a difference in a world that was then overtly racist and discriminatory. Now, we are on the cusp of electing an African-American President of these United States. And, as my friend and I talked today, I could feel a reservoir of emotion, in some deep hidden place, begin to well. Somehow, I sense such an e...

political itch: July 2008

http://politicalitch.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Friday, July 11, 2008. The Shriveled Up Old Nuts Syndrome. Jesse Jackson's recent comments regarding his opinion that Barack Obama had been talking down to the black community are similar in tone to the remarks made by the Reverend Wright at the National Press Club a few months ago. Who do they think they are? We have been running the show for the last forty years. We aren't dead yet. They need to pay us more respect. Who are they to tell us what to do? Tuesday, July 1, 2008.

political itch: October 2008

http://politicalitch.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 31, 2008. Democracy at Home and Abroad. It is so ironic that the Republicans and Bush the Lesser with their neo-con strike force profess such fervent belief in the democratic process and the spread of democracy across the world, and recently, especially in the Middle East, while they undermine it in America. Remember how excited Bush the Lesser was about the red fingers of the Iraqi's when they had completed voting several years ago (right after Mission Accomplished). Next, the Obama/Marx...

political itch: November 2011

http://politicalitch.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 23, 2011. During the early 1970’s I attended law school at the University of California at Davis. The law school, named King Hall, after the then recently assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King, attracted a fair number of students who were active participants in that tumultuous period in our history. We were law students exercising our first amendment rights. Our hope was that we” bums” could teach the governor something about protest in a free society. From his record as Governor and Pr...
