Political wives and me My biggest personal conflicts haven't been with male politicians I've trashed, but with wives of male politicians I've trashed. - Tuesday, May 20, 2008 McCain and the Democrats Here's my latest fearless prediction, subject by pundit's license to changing at any point and certainly before mid-October, by which time the political dynamic could be far different from what it is now: - Mon, May 19, 2008 Torture the camel in the tent Now that the proposed creation of a felony for first-time torture of a dog, cat or horse has arisen again in state political and legislative discourse, let me warn the casual observer. - Sun, May 18, 2008 It's not all about Barack I'd like to say a word in defense of George W. Bush and against Barack Obama. - Sat, May 17, 2008 Sorting out the raging nonpartisanship This is a follow-up to the column in this space a couple of weeks ago in which they were struggling in Northwest Arkansas with the still-young concept, at least in Arkansas, of nonpartisanship in races for judgeships. - Thu, May 15, 2008 Farming is root of all politics Statewide elections usually are decided by Arkansas farm politics from the eastern part of the state. - Tue, May 13, 2008 Analyzing potential Democratic dream ticket As far as a Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton dream ticket is concerned, settling the scant policy differences would be a snap. - Mon, May 12, 2008 Football on the cultural left Some people call it elitist football or snob football or even nerd football. - Sun, May 11, 2008 Simple and dangerous This business about Democratic state legislators raising campaign money for Republican colleagues is easy to solve. - Sat, May 10, 2008 Bill Clinton's angst Theories have arisen as to why Bill Clinton has behaved ineptly and inanely, offending blacks and misstating facts and angrily denying having plainly made those misstatements of fact. - Thu, May 08, 2008 Can Hillary win? A different view This will counterbalance the scenario offered in this space Sunday by which Hillary Clinton could still emerge as the Democratic nominee for president. - Tue, May 06, 2008 McCain's two health failings John McCain's health care plan fails only on its two essential points. - Mon, May 05, 2008 Hillary to win? How in the world? I dropped in a line the other day about having come to the disappointing conclusion that our nose-holding alternatives in November would be John McCain and Hillary Clinton. - Sun, May 04, 2008 The land partisanship forgot The state Democratic Party's chairman has sent letters to scores of Democratic officeholders around the state making what would seem to be an altogether reasonable request. - Sat, May 03, 2008 Two bad, one less bad All three presidential prospects grovel and pander on soaring gasoline prices. - Thu, May 01, 2008 Rev. Wright unplugged When he said "God damn America," the Rev. Jeremiah Wright mostly performed an over-the-top Mark Twain. - Tue, Apr 29, 2008 Worst of all Democratic worlds Two very bad things have happened to Barack Obama. One is that he has been Jesse Jackson-ized. - Mon, Apr 28, 2008 Bubba and Hillary Readers wondered if Bubba McCoy, the quintessential East Arkansas good ol' boy, had a take on the three remaining presidential prospects. - Sat, Apr 26, 2008 Clark: new man, old pursuit Steve Clark's rehabilitation impresses. He owned up to alcoholism and defeats it daily. - Thu, Apr 24, 2008 On Huck and the next-best thing I couldn't get Mike Huckabee on the phone, either because he hasn't any use for me or, as related for the record, he was too busy on a national tour. - Tue, Apr 22, 2008 A tale of two beverages Hillary Clinton hails from Wellesley College, Yale Law School and the Wal-Mart corporate board room. - Mon, Apr 21, 2008 |
