Jerry BrownFrom press reports, California Democratic activists are faulting Jerry. Brown for not campaigning enough, and for allowing the dribble of Meg Whitman, who has spent her way to the top of the polls, to go unchallenged. Maybe, Mr. Brown should borrow a page from Hillary Clinton's old campaign book and go on a listening tour of the state. Let the people see and hear from him, as he listens to their concerns.

Michael SteeleI think that Michael Steele's tenure as the figurehead of the RNC, the Republican National Committee, may be coming to an end. What you hear from me is not joy, but true sadness. I think, Mr. Steele was the best GOP chairman that Democrats could have hoped to sit in that chair. But too much stupid stuff has happened on his watch, and I can hear that Republican mob getting the boot ready, as they prepare to kick him out the door. The latest stupid thing is this: Almost two thousand American dollars ($1,946.25) were spent by the GOP  at a sex club, the Voyeur West Hollywood,!!! A "bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex." Voyeur is an exclusive, expensive club frequented by celebrities, for example by Heidi Klum! For crying out loud! How can the head of a party of shameless hypocritical buffoons allow such a blatant thing to occur?

Rep. Kendrick MeekU.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek of the 17th district (D - FL), is a rising star of the Democratic Party.  In last Sunday's St. Petersburg Times the results of a recent polls show that he could be competitive in the Florida U.S. Senate race in November. A Research 2000 poll  (margin of error plus or minus 4 percentage points) showed Congressman Kendrick Meek with 40 percent support among likely voters and  former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio with 41 percent. In a matchup against Governor Charlie Crist, Congressman Meek trailed 45 percent to 36 percent. The general election is looking as if the matchup will be between Meek and Rubio. Rubio leads  Crist in the Republican primary, 58 percent to 30 percent. If Crist decided to run in November as an independent, the poll showed him winning 29 percent support, compared to 27 percent for Meek and 32 percent for Rubio.

"Vice President Joe Biden, " states CBS on its news web site, " apparently used the "F word," when telling Mr. Obama how much of a big deal the moment was.

Netanyahu says no go on stopping the settlement-building...It’s getting very public and very gnarly between Israel and the U.S. You know, the whole Peace Talk thing- Israel is not at all happy and not at all listening to what the U.S. is asking for.

Andy Ward loves those navy uniformsDemocrats can't do anything right. Don't get me wrong, I'm about as far from the Right as possible, but I can't claim that the Dems are my party. I want one, just one, Democratic representative to do politics the way they ought to be done. I'm talking about wild, dirty, insane and extreme coupled with the kind of recreational activities usually reserved for high-power corporate executives and damaged celebrities. That's why I'm baffled that this whole Eric Massa thing has become a major scandal. Let's break this thing down, shall we?

Rep. Patrick KennedyRep. Patrick Kennedy, (D-R.I), following the example of his father, the late Senator Edward Kennedy,  who on the Senator floor often railed for justice and common decency, railed this afternoon against the Media. In  a very emotional speech on the House floor, he  ripped into media, said that the American press corps was.doing  a "despicable" job covering the war in Afghanistan. He said  it's 'despicable' that press focuses on  Massa instead of Afghanistan. Yes, the toilet tissue, soap and mouth wash selling press would rather focus on the trivial, on something, anything, that doesn't tax their viewers minds, and drive them away to watch less taxing stuff. The media can sell more tissue paper with stories on the tickling soap opera that is ex-Congressman Massa than they can with stories on Afghanistan. The press have misplaced priorities.

President ObamaPresident Barack Obama is showing very little backbone. He has kowtowed to the insurance lobby by leaving the public option out of his "final" health care reform effort. His press secretary  gave the excuse that Mr. Obama thought he couldn’t get 51 votes in the Senate to pass a health care bill which includes the public option. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa)  begs to disagree. The Senator pointed out that the public option had 55 votes in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is on record as a supporter of the public option. POLITICO reports that there is a letter, circulating in the Senate supporting the public option, that is gaining more senators  signatures every week.
