Quoted: Another hyperbolic, conservative rant about liberals in academia? Perhaps I should confess my biases. I do dislike extremism of the Left and of the Right. But I have never been conservative enough to vote for a Republican presidential nominee. And the academics whose growing power and abuses of power concern me are far to the left of almost all congressional Democrats.

Keith Olbermann perfectly very eloquently addresses many of the inconsistencies that the Clinton campaign has had over the past 6 weeks.

Quoted: Keith's Special Comment March 12, 2008 on Geraldine Ferraro's comments.

She gets absolutely crucified in the comments section. For a CNBC anchor that presumably makes a better than average salary, she is f*cking needy and high maintenance.

And as far as hot TV news anchors go, she isn't even in the top 10. Melissa Theuriau? Okay I might reconsider my position for her. Erin Burnett isn't even a Jane Skinner or Mika Brzezinski.

Quoted: To draw the attention of CNBC anchor Erin Burnett away from the ticker, think schedule savers and travel, from Men's Health Magazine

Quoted: 3. Do Something Special for My Parents - Family is important to me, so round-trip business-class tickets to Australia and New Zealand for my parents would earn you big points in my book

Rove on the Dems.

Interesting read. I think there is some truth to it. However part of the credit for this resurgent interest in politics among "independents" and casual observers is owed to the circumstances of this election. You have a lame duck that has become increasingly incompetent and is a poster child for the spite-inducing Aristocratic facets of our country and our government. Its only natural for people to look to someone that seems to be the complete opposite of what we currently have.

I will admit that I have been waking up at 9am on Sundays for the past month or so to listen to the talking heads summarize the week in presidential politics.

Quoted: But there is something else going on here. Obama is the first candidate of his generation truly to be an agent of change who inspires, motivates and ignites the passion in a large segment of Americans who had ignored politics because it was unseemly and didn't move people to action. My e-mail inbox and my talk show lines filled up with people who say that listening to Obama empowers them to get involved, that he is able to connect with them on an emotional and spiritual level that is reminiscent of John and Robert Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
