solidarity

Nashville antiracist Tim Wise calls out those pigmently challenged feminist Hillary supporters threatening to vote McCain:

“[bleep]!”

It came from the direction of the sunroom, where He Who Shall Not Be Named was sitting before the computer, staring angrily at the screen and cursing under his breath.

I cringed and glanced over at Punky, who was playing at the kitchen table. Hearing it, she looked up and gasped, then threw down her doll, ran to the sunroom and opened the door.

When George Bush went to Israel last week to label Barack Obama as a disloyal appeaser, Hillary Clinton should have suspended her campaign and asked her supporters to unite around Senator Obama for president as a show of solidarity and common cause against Republican demagoguery of those who dare to defy them.

From The Politico:

For the first time, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families.

I have overestimated my selflessness and feel humbled after reading this post on Politico.

I had to read the story a few times to make sure it wasn't a comedy skit from the Internets. Sadly, it is not.

Our fearless president claims that he gave up playing golf to show his solidarity and sacrifice due to the war in Iraq.

No word on what he gave up for the war in Afghanistan ... maybe Yahtzee?

A note from Karim in follow-up from last week’s post. (Thanks, Jane)

I have been repeatedly asked by many about my feelings regarding Wednesday's abandoned HUD house takeover by the Nashville Homeless Power Project because some folks seem to mistakenly believe that simply because I am writing the newspaper article for the Contributor, that somehow equates me with being a full fledged supporter of the event. I want to set the record straight here.
