We Three Kings, Jennifer Avalon I love Epiphany Sunday. Here on the 12th day of Christmas we remember the Magi arriving and bearing significant and meaningful gifts, and the wonder of the Incarnation remains raised within our consciousness for a little while longer as we recall that the Christ, humble babe – the Bread of Life – lying in a food bin (there are no accidents in scripture) was and has ever since been worshiped and adored by shepherds and...

:::SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE FOR UPDATE::: Folks are all abuzz about Hillary’s testy declaration that she can make change and they’re linking to this video. I’ve got all sorts of comments in my email ranging from “If you need change for a hundred, Hillary can make it,” to “If George H.W. Bush reminded every woman of her first husband, Hillary is going to remind every man of his first wife.” Kathryn Jean Lopez got one like that too. Well…I dunno.... Read more

This report left me speechless: Bill Clinton voiced his abiding anger at the media’s coverage of him and his wife in Durham, N.H., today, and suggested that media bias will force Clinton to go negative on Barack Obama. […] “I think we can change it as long as you have access to information by people who are committed to judging everybody by the same set of rules and following the same set of rules,” he said. “According to the most...

Originally Posted December 22, 2006 Hillary, Obama and the National Psyche I meant to link yesterday to an interesting piece by Dick Meyer over at CBS News, in which he muses on the emotional projections of the voters and wonders what it can mean for the Democrats. As ever, with Meyer, his stuff gets you thinking.

Obama is the Moses of the Democrat party. With his victory in Iowa, he is freeing the Democrats-in-captivity who have long been disillusioned with the Clintons but felt they had no choice but to vote for them or their interests. Standing before the Pharoahs Clinton, Barack says: “let my people go! Or at least let them vote for whom they wish!” I have people in my own family who have said, “I don’t really like Hillary, but I will probably... Read more
GM Roper with a powerful post linking to this story on the increasingly narrow terms of health coverage in the UK, where, you know, health care is “free.” So now, the Democrats want to emulate the English.

Well, insurance companies do fairly well, but then that is because of their investments more than anything. As to the... Read more
