With all the hoopla at the Beijing Olympics, both press and public have missed one big issue. While we watched President Bush playing volleyball with bikini-wearing Olympians and posing for pictures with vacationing Americans, Russia invaded Georgia.

Russia’s most recent thrust into Georgia has unsettled the entire world balance of power.

These splits were apparent as early as the 1980’s, when it was already apparent that the Civil Rights Revolution was beginning to bear fruit. African Americans were–in part during that decade–beginning to break into the middle class in substantial numbers and [...]
Obama the Idealist versus Clinton the Old Guard

I’ve been watching this contest evolve between the followers of Obama and Clinton with many misgivings. The democrats seem to be setting themselves up to lose–no matter what the outcome of the primaries–and it is sad to see, given the dreadful state of American policy and economic policy.
The disaster of Bush policies and ideological leadership [...]
