finding practical ways to move from a republic towards a democracy and holding the media accountable for substantive, critical reporting of important issues....
blog/article on the Obama cult ( I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what Senator Obama's comprehensive plan is far as the financial picture and the Al Qaeda threats.... The answers I get range from "he stands for hope" and "he represents a positive future" to "that's a very good question".

Joe Klein, writing at Time, notes "something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism" he sees in Obama's Super Tuesday speech.
"We are the ones we've been waiting for," Obama said. "This time can be different because this campaign for the presidency of the United States of America is different. It's different not because of me. It's different because of you."
Says Klein: "That is not just maddeningly vague but also disingenuous: the campaign is entirely about Obama and his ability to inspire. Rather than focusing on any specific issue or cause — other than an amorphous desire for change — the message is becoming dangerously self-referential. The Obama campaign all too often is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is. “
