SC priest: no communion for Obama voters
Is the Catholic church really throwing down the gauntlet on this one, or do we have one Palmetto State priest freelancing for hype? A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama because the Democratic…
NYT: ‘For South, a Waning Hold on National Politics’
There’s an interesting piece in the NYT by Adam Nossiter that makes some apt observations about what the results of the election mean for Republicans and the South. By voting so emphatically for Senator John McCain over Mr. Obama – supporting him in some areas in even greater numbers than…
Awesome
We were worried that wingnuts were going to challenge the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency. That he won in a blowout (at least by modern standards) dampened that concern a bit. But don’t get too relaxed, folks. Some newspaper readers in Sapulpa are upset by what wasn’t in the paper. The…
Obama’s win really does usher in a new era
The post-election coverage of Obama’s startling blow out of a win—besides the nonsense attempts to pressure him into being conservative—was mostly about the coalition that he built that grabbed more college-educated white people than Democrats traditionally get. But while the campaign deserves mountains of credit for doing such an amazing…
Elected liberals, govern liberally
The pressure is already building to get Obama to govern from the center or even, god forbid, the center-right. We shouldn’t be surprised by this—fish gotta swim, and pundits gotta stall our country’s progress with hand-wringing. The Obama administration should not listen to these nags. All real evidence points to…
Post-election crack for political junkies
Newsweek has the first of a seven part series up on how Obama did what seems to be impossible on paper—win the Presidency while up against not one, but two of the most popular politicians in D.C. while being black in a country where racism is still quite commonplace. If…
Racims + projection=really stupid
Roy Edroso mocks the right wingers who are lost in racist fantasies about how the cities are going to go up in flames tonight, win or lose. They seem not to have learned their lesson from the Ashley Todd incident. Nordlinger doesn’t get around very much — rightbloggers are already…
What Today Means
A question from a reader: You are a snarker par excellence, but we seldom get to hear how you really feel about the (probably) first African American president, how you feel about Obama as a person, about his policies, about the POTUS race this year. No snark, just some cold,…
This Is News?
Networks may call a winner if someone wins. Here’s the thing about tomorrow: no matter what happens, if Obama wins, there will quickly arise the zombie narrative that the media did something to sway the election, the Congress and the very future of marriage to the radical left. If Proposition…
She Wants Her Cookies
Sarah Palin is alleging that the San Fransisco Chronicle “suppressed” an interview with Obama that they’ve had up on their website since January. How, pretell, was it “suppressed”? As Sweetness & Light points out, the Chronicle has failed to keep the January, 2008 interview as available as they could have,…
