WordPress’ Surrealist Poetry Generator
So WordPress has this feature when you hover over a link it gives you related searches suggestions. I went to my blog this morning to get a link to email to my friend. The related searches WordPress offered read like a surrealist poem. Here it is in a couple different versions. A prize goes to […]
Explaining McCain’s Success Among Evangelicals
January 20, 2008
This complete story appears at Huffington Post. As South Carolina Republicans headed to the polls Saturday, an all too-simple storyline emerged in the press. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a Southern Baptist minister who won the Iowa caucus, would have the evangelical vote, while Arizona Senator John McCain, a Vietnam War hero, would win defense […]
Republicans Buy Global Warming
January 11, 2008
Ok, that might be an overstatement. But at least GOP voters aren’t punishing candidates who have supported legislation to control greenhouse gas emissions. Interestingly, the only two Republican presidential candidates who have endorsed cap-and-trade legislation to control global warming—Mike Huckabee and John McCain—are the victors in the two most important early nominating contests, Iowa and […]
Cry Cry Cry
January 9, 2008
Spinning is sometimes surreal. As Hillary Clinton eeked out a narrow victory over Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primary last night, her campaign chairman, Terry McAuliffe, told a TV reporter that her watery-eyed profession of love-of-country explained her revived campaign. A moment of supposed emotional authenticity had officially become a talking point. It became […]
Heaven and Hell in Orlando
January 6, 2008
I spent this morning in an Orlando megachurch listening to a preacher talk about heaven on earth. As if someone felt I should be shown the alternative, I am spending the evening in the Orlando airport. If there is a place more like hell on earth, I’m having a hard time imagining it. The terminal […]
Iowa Votes for Politics of Authenticity
January 5, 2008
Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama have a lot in common. Of course, the winners of the respective Republican and Democratic Iowa caucuses Thursday couldn’t be more different on matters of policy. Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, is a hard-core social conservative who is supportive of the war effort and has embraced a hard line […]
Iowa Predictions
January 3, 2008
Since I have a blog, here’s the obligatory prognostication of what’s going to happen after the Iowegians make their way to various churches, schools, and living rooms to caucus for the presidential nominees: Democratic: 1. John Edwards, winning by at least 3 points above #2. 2. Barack Obama, winning by less than 2 points above […]
Huckabee Campaign Divided on Environment and Evangelicalism
December 31, 2007
This complete story appears at Huffington Post. The only policy issue Mike Huckabee singles out on a page devoted to “Faith and Politics” isn’t abortion or marriage. “My faith doesn’t influence my decisions, it drives them,” writes the GOP presidential hopeful. “For example, when it comes to the environment, I believe in being a good […]
Will the Real Mike Huckabee Please Stand Up?
December 26, 2007
This complete story appears at the Huffington Post. Des Moines — Mike Huckabee began a bold denunciation of gay marriage in Ames, Iowa, Wednesday night, but quickly checked himself with stuttering caveats: “We have to also realize that the strength of our nation really does come down to our families, and that’s why, without apology […]
Huckabee Changes Faith & Politics Webpage
December 22, 2007
Mike Huckabee, and ordained Southern Baptist minister who is now the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination, has raised concerns about blurring the separation of church and state. In an apparent response to address these concerns, the Huckabee campaign has added new text to a webpage devoted to “Faith and Politics.” It begins with new […]
