Michelle Obama is just Hillary redux

February 19, 2008 By

Had an interesting exchange with someone in the press today, who noted that the big kahuna of the big-time-journalism outfit which signs the paycheck is fervently pro-Hillary, and seeks “to use Michelle Obama’s first time I’ve been proud of my country’ gaffe as a stick to beat Obama with.

January 23, 2008 By

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.
