The peril of cable news misogynists
As we inch toward another presidential campaign in which the odds are even that several Democratic finalists for the nomination will be a woman, a woman of color, or both, Scott Lemieux worries about the presence of media misogyny, despite … Continue reading
Who did what to whom
I’m not a fan of Scott Lemieux, but he at least grapples with the reality of door-to-door politics like his colleagues don’t. In light of recent “Joe Biden would have won talk,” another variant on the speculation around my preferred … Continue reading
Elections 2018, post-cockiness edition
One calendar year ago I was excited enough to amble around campus in a state of suppressed glee, a phenomenon I couldn’t attribute to having voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton a couple weeks earlier. Although I was under no illusions … Continue reading
Hillary Clinton has as much right to bore us as anyone in public life
The ponderous, politically tone deaf, and immune to improvisation Hillary Clinton discomfited me less than her husband did in the early nineties, so when she landed the nomination this Bernie supporter shrugged his shoulders and said the hell with it. … Continue reading
A Day Without Hillary
Here is my A Day Without Women post, titled A Day Without Hillary: Most decisively, there was a sudden change in the net sentiment results that followed immediately after FBI Director James Comey released his Oct. 28 letter to Congress … Continue reading

Huh I feel real: Best protest songs
Motivated by an instinct to avoid the usual suspects because as of two this morning we live in unusual times, I compiled a list of songs that protested boundaries, legislative and sexual. 1. Public Enemy – Fight the Power 2. … Continue reading
The next day: After such knowledge, what forgiveness?
I went to bed at 12:30 a.m. with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin looking uncertain. I slept for two full hours, awakened to tachycardia, from which I don’t suffer. Resisting the temptation to check my phone or turn on the TV, I … Continue reading
Elections 2016 — let’s end this!
Martini glass in hand, courage in my heart, I’m ready to blog. 11:04. In my first legitimate shock of the evening, Russ Feingold lost his race in Wisconsin. The West coast is decided, which we know. North Carolina goes to … Continue reading
Predictions, pre-Aperol edition
Click the map to create your own at 270toWin.com Senate: For Democrats: Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Nevada For Republicans: Florida, North Carolina, Indiana I’m done with this shit.
#I’mwithgov’t
