This is remarkable. The quote of the day: It’s unclear whether Cain’s candidacy is just part of his book tour, part of an effort to land a Fox show, or some sort of mere vanity project. But whatever it is, it is not a serious presidential campaign. Cain hasn’t earned the right to be taken [...]

A reader on the Dish writes: I thought I’d write to you with our own experiences taking part in the Occupy LA protests. I’m in my early 40s, at a well-paying job as a web developer for a large hospital in Los Angeles. My wife and I have no children. We’re very fortunate – we [...]

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 economic plan continues to get panned (pizza pun intended) by economists and even conservatives. On the surface it seems like a blatant hosing of the poor, by shifting the tax burden more heavily upon their shoulders in order to create tax equity. Cutting beneath the surface, Cain’s plan is simply a nod [...]

Not only is it the price of a pizza, it’s the price of a pizza at Godfather’s Pizza. Yes, Godfather’s Pizza– where the current Republican presidential nominee Herman Cain was the CEO. Jon Huntsman was clearly prescient in his pronouncement. Herman Cain may not be the next president, but he damn sure knows how to [...]

I wouldn’t say these jokes about Barack Obama are racially charged. They may push the envelope on good taste though. More broadly, they lack certain sensibilities. It’s almost as if Brown expected his audience to soak up the venom gladly. Not with the cameras running. I’ve heard worse, but don’t quit your day job Mr. [...]

Two observations about the first GOP Presidential Debate: Mitt Romney clearly separated himself from the pack of milquetoast contenders vying for the crown. Romney showed deftness, quiet strength, and a mature yet effective argumentative style. The most stark contrast came between he and Herman Cain, token flamethrower in the race. Cain while charming, cannot [...]

Aside from his bumbling and puerile handling of this situation, Anthony Weiner should not only not resign– he should remain as forceful and adamant about the causes he fights for as ever–provided there are no ethical impropriaties from his activities of course. Will he be kept at arms length by fellow democrats? Sure. The taint [...]

Conservatives continue to push narratives outside the mainstream–and in the case of Carmen San Diego Palin–out and out make shit up without regard to fallout, and seemingly without consequence. Mitt Romney continues to deny a record as governor he built, and programs he initiated quite proudly. How can anyone govern sensibly and with a bi-partisan [...]

You’re going to see more of this as Cain becomes more well known in conservative circles–and to the American public. His record will be scrutinized vigorously, and his tenure at the Kansas City Federal Reserve could prove very toxic to the tea party– the group who exults Mr. Cain.I’m curious as to how he justifies [...]

I’m of the mind that the crisis in the middle east is best left to those directly involved– simply because it’s too much of a conflation of fear, dishonesty, anger, stubbornness, and bitterness. It’s strangling debate and beating down some Israeli citizens: As an Israeli citizen, I want to thank you for this post. You [...]
