"Rock The Vote" Inspires No One To Change Their Facebook Status Or Voting Habits

Natasha Vargas-Cooper | Posted August 21, 2008 | Off The Bus


Is it ever a good idea when Hollywood and DC promiscuously mingle?

A betting man would say: fuck no.

He'd say "Surely, you jest! Do you think today's youth, which revels in the way celebrities embarrass themselves on reality TV shows, allow their vaginas to fall out of their skirts,...

Gitmo On The Platte: Everything You Need To Know, But No More, So Don't Panic!

Diane Tucker | Posted August 21, 2008 | Off The Bus


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Last night on 14th Street, the big-time TV news producer walking alongside me wanted to know, "What are you hearing about the mini-Gitmo being built near the South Platte River?"

Stifling a yawn, I said, "Is this another Iraq story?"

"It's a DENVER story,"...

Email Gives Away Obama VP Pick -- Maybe

Wes Isley | Posted August 21, 2008 | Off The Bus


Not tea leaves but tee shirts. The identity of Sen. Barack Obama's vice presidential pick is being closely guarded, yet I received an email about campaign tees and buttons that might have given that secret away. What we have is either a leak or a businessperson betting on the odds!...

Obama Woos Folks With "Funny Names"

Suman Raghunathan | Posted August 21, 2008 | Off The Bus


A pro-Obama political action committee (PAC) just released a raft of television ads in New Mexico, a critical battleground state where one-in-three voters is Latino.

As Feet in 2 Worlds' Martina Guzman reported in her recent feature on WNYC New York Public...

TIME Interview Uncovers More Than Obama's Veep Criteria

Stephen C. Rose | Posted August 21, 2008 | Off The Bus


Yesterday's TIME interview by Karen Tumulty with Barack Obama has some gems for those of us who have been wondering about the campaign and its future as polls tighten and attacks mount. The interview was noted mainly for some pretty obvious veep talk. But in addition there were statements...

CNN Discovers Word For Its Confusion

Tony Martin | Posted August 21, 2008 | Off The Bus


Recently I listened to a couple CNN reporters discuss Obama's Saddleback Church presentation. One of them asked the other, was Obama perhaps a bit nuanced? "Nuanced" was then conveniently defined by the reporter as "hard to understand." The reporter's colleague, affirmed that yes, Obama was nuanced.

Though brief and routine,...

Sean Hannity Hates My Terrorist City

Edward Rotchford | Posted August 21, 2008 | Off The Bus


All of the VP speculation talk over the last few days has certainly made for some exciting television.

Therefore, eager to suck in as much as possible before the announcements come (if they haven't already by the time this blog is posted), I decided to flip on Fixed News...

John McCain's Universal Draft

Adrienne Williams | Posted August 20, 2008 | Off The Bus


Chicago -- Interestingly, John McCain was on the campaign trail yesterday and an attendee asked a question regarding the draft, and how we need to reinstate it to continue fighting war on terror.

WOMAN: If we don't reenact the draft, I don't think we'll have anyone to chase Bin Laden...

Jerome Corsi's "NonFiction Bestseller" Is Neither

Peter Dreier | Posted August 20, 2008 | Off The Bus


The publication on August 1 of Jerome Corsi's book, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, has triggered considerable controversy in political and publishing circles, not only because the book is filled with many lies and distortions, but also because Corsi has long been affiliated with...

White Versus Green Convention

Kate Kelly | Posted August 20, 2008 | Off The Bus


As the Democrats of 2008 prepare for the "greenest" (most environmentally conscious) convention ever, people might like to know that in 1908 the goal of the convention organizers, with access to Rocky Mountain snow in July, was to make it the "whitest" convention.

The citizens of Denver had great masses...

Don't Go Breaking My Heart, Barack

Paul Hunt | Posted August 20, 2008 | Off The Bus


I'll admit it -- I'm in love with Barack. No, it's not puppy love -- not anymore. You could say we're going steady. I know he doesn't appreciate me spilling the beans like this -- he wants to wait for our trip to Denver to make it official -- but...

The Abominable Snow Job Of "The Obama Nation"

Jan McGirk | Posted August 20, 2008 | Off The Bus


The anti-Obama rhetoric of the first stages of the McCain-Obama race has been laced with falsehoods, unfair innuendos, and sneaky appeals to religious fundamentalists. One of the worst examples is Dr. Jerome Corsi's abominable snow job on Barack Obama: his book "The Obama Nation." Unfortunately this fallacious book seems to...

Media Research Center Lies Exposed about Obama and the Press

John K. Wilson | Posted August 20, 2008 | Off The Bus


The far-right Media Research Center (MRC) has released a new report declaring overwhelmingly positive media coverage of Barack Obama in the network evening news broadcasts. I've scrutinized part of the study and media coverage during one month, and this simple look at reality indicates that MRC is intentionally...

McCain's Bumper Sticker Strategy

Emily Pease | Posted August 20, 2008 | Off The Bus


Driving through eastern North Carolina last week, I saw the whole election unfold before me, thanks to a single bumper sticker: DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW. McCain's name was a mere afterthought on that one. Instead, it was all about filling up the gas tank and buying American, a poke in...

Obama's Rope A Dope

Deannie Mills | Posted August 20, 2008 | Off The Bus


Even when I was a little kid, I used to love to watch Mohammed Ali box. I'd sit cross-legged on the living room floor in front of my daddy's chair, and we'd watch him outsmart and outbox every contender, from the time he won the gold at the Olympics as...

Guitarist and songwriter Wayne Kramer will be playing once again -- unofficially -- as part of a Democratic National Convention.

The first time occurred in 1968 when Kramer belonged to the legendary Detroit proto-punk krewe the MC5 (which released the records Kick Out The Jams, Back in the USA,...

I'm going to give you two vignettes. Here's the first one:

Stan: You're a bozo!
Ollie: No I'm not!
Stan: Yes you are because of your funny hat!
Ollie: My hat is not funny and it was bad of you to say so!
