My Response to the Mean-Spirited "Barack the Magic Negro"
Taking a children's song and twisting it in such vulgar, mean-spirited way, is a slur to our entire country and our common agreement to move beyond racism.
HuffPost's QuickRead
Mountain of Snakes
I'm not a socialist. Or at least not entirely so. As an American, I've got a little Al Capone in me. I like the idea of individual achievement -- just not against a background of hopeless oppression.
Mountain of Snakes (Part II)
The following is Part II of Sean Penn's piece, Mountain of Snakes (Read Part I here) HOLA FERNANDO, COMO ESTA? I wanted to cut through the crap. I h...
It Is a Wonderful Life
What this crisis is going to do is bring us into financial alignment. Neighbors are going to meal share and carpool and child care -- less indoor gym workouts and more family outdoor time.
No Currency Left to Buy the Big Lies
We watch millionaires and paid Republican hacks appear on television yelling "Socialist!" at Obama as if the Bolsheviks are coming to rape our daughters.
Country First (or, How The Media Loves A Lipsticked Rumsfeld)
The victory for this country begins with a unified refusal to accept, not only the McCain/Palin ticket, but also the static and shallow conscience of the Republican base.
Doing it with Care
Man-oh-man-oh-man! All of this tedious crap about how I do not love Caroline Kennedy enough! You're kidding, right? This is more about protecting a Democratic Senate seat than romanticizing it.
The Shministim
If you haven't heard the name Omer Goldman yet, have a seat and grab your Kleenex. Her courage, and the courage of the other "Shministim" in Israel is utterly humbling. And amazing. I don't use those words lightly.
Obama, You Got Me
Obama's movement is about us, and what we can do to shake things up. That's why older people who've held their spot forever -- the John McCains and Jesse Jacksons of this world -- find him a threat.
Why I Recorded Yes We Can
I came up with the idea to turn Obama's New Hampshire speech into a song because that speech affected and touched my inner core like nothing in a very long time. It spoke to me.
How to Keep the Hearts of Bigots Warm Through the Winter
Obama can call the placing of a hate monger like Rick Warren on the world dais political healing or inclusiveness or any other nicety he'd like, but I call it pandering to the lowest instinct of the worst kind of politics.
The Importance Of Electing Al Franken
Voters of Minnesota, your choice could not be simpler: Mitt Romney light, or a return to someone special in the US Senate from the great state of Minnesota.
An Open Letter to the President...Four and a Half Years Later
Four and a half years ago, I addressed the issue of war in an open letter to our President. Today I would like to again speak to him and his, directly.
The Most Moving Moment Came from John McCain
McCain had to do the hard thing -- to not only accept loss and graciously congratulate the winner, but to encourage the rest of the country to offer their blessings to the new President-elect and his family.
Uncut from Northern Ireland
By day we would interview all sides of the Northern Ireland debate, trying allow different points of view to be aired. By night, I would get e-mails from people urging me not to believe what others told me.
Stopping Bush's Destruction of Our Environment
Late Friday night a coalition of environmental and preservation groups filed an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management that could save 100,000 acres of pristine land that are endangered.

Bitsko to Anne Hathaway: Explain Raffaelo Follieri.
Wellllllll seeee Mr Warren is a "preacher". This preacher has a following of people, AKA voters. We want that following to calm the F down. Soooo we are having this guy calm those people the F down so we can get something done. He is not making policy sweetie. Warren is just showing his face and saying some baloney so we can get some things done. OK? OK. Night night.

More on the truth about Warren.
I would love an explanation too!
Wow, so Warren has underhandedly brought on the deaths of thousands more Africans from AIDS. Way to go, Obama. Nice choice. You seem to have vetted him about as closely as McCain vetted Palin...way to endorse a remorseless contributor of death and despair! That's some inclusiveness ya got goin' there!
