Why it’s Obama’s time
Let’s hope I can finally change the subject and get back to some of my more (or less) interesting digressions. Unfortunately, I have reacted very personally for some reason to these elections. At the same time that I have felt an almost innocent excitement for Obama’s messages, I have also felt incredible revulsion for Billary. […]

How Husbands Love Their Wives
I was just listening to Bob Schieffer’s interview with Hillary Clinton from last Sunday’s Face The Nation. When asked about her husband’s egregiously offensive comments towards Obama, Hillary defended Bill thusly:
. . . my husband has such a great commitment to me . . . You know, he loves me, just like, you know, husbands […]

Grave Error’s Wise Choice: Obama for President
Dear Senator Obama,
I fully understand that Grave Error is not the Washington Post or the New York Times. A Grave Error endorsement might not sound like much, considering the only people who read this blog are my parents, brother, two uncles, one cousin, and my Berber girlfriend. And although I am no Kennedy, I am […]

Obama Above the Rest
Here is Obama’s South Carolina vicotry speech. It is probably the most moving speech of any politician in my lifetime, and shows how Obama can rise above the Clinton mud slinging to show that there just may be another way. Regardless of whether Obama will ever be able to beat the Clintons or actually make […]

Grave Error to Endorse Obama?
Rumor has it that Grave Error will officially endorse Senator Barak Obama as its choice for the U.S. presidency.
In related news, it appears that Hillary is about to change her campaign strategy once again. First it was her 35 years of experience, 8 of which were as an elected official and transparent, the remaining years […]

Obama is Hope, Billary is Hate
It was telling about the hate, devisiveness, and disgusting nature of Billary how after Obama’s win in S.C., it was Bill and not Hillary who first spoke to the press. And what did Bill say? He said that even Jesse Jackson had won a primary in South Carolina. That’s about as devicive and bottom-feeding as […]

Bill Clinton’s Dream
Trash talking Obama, hating, or just playing James Carville for his wife’s campaign can be very tiring for an elder statesman like Bill Clinton. Staying awake at a Martin Luther King, Jr. event may be just be too much for the country’s “first honky” from Arkansas.

Hillary’s Race Card Confirmed: Part III
Dick Morris was one of President Clinton’s most trusted advisors and able spinsters. He has just written an op-ed piece confirming what I have previously said about how the Clintons were using Obama’s race and latent racial slights to Obama’s detriment. It is all just too disgusting, especially considering that all of the Clintons’ repulsive […]

Reduced Bill
Just after having written my last post on why I find Bill’s over-the-top campaigning inappropriate, William sends me this excellent piece from the New Republic:

Appropriate (ex) Presidential Behavior
Americans have a special relationship with the presidency and their presidents. Americans and American politicians on both sides of the table can disagree with their president on policy and other issues but will always support and honor the figure of the “president” out of respect for the institution of the presidency.
As a result, when a […]
