Sholom Anarchy presents Stumping for Ron Paul again posted at Anarcho-Judaism, saying, “Eloquent punditry at its absolute finest”

John Crenshaw presents Mindless Zombies Attack Will Smith, And I’m Not Talking About His New Movie posted at Dominate Your Life, saying, “You may or may not have heard of the recent comments Will Smith made about Adolf Hitler in an interview with The Daily Record in the U.K., in which he said, “Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘let me do the most evil thing I can do today. I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming.””

Mike Kuykendall presents John Edwards for President posted at Mike Kuykendall, saying, “The precise reason I think John Edwards is the best candidate to reform our broken democracy.”

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Dear Editor: Enough With The Polls, Already! posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.

John Phillips presents Presidential Politics?Predictions for the Workplace posted at The Word On Employment Law, saying, “There’s been a 16 year drought when it comes to significant legislation in the labor and employment law arena. Thus, if based on nothing more than odds alone, one can expect the new administration to tackle some issues long unaddressed. In my blog, I have looked at the reords (as they relate to the workplace) of the principal candidates and have tried to predict what each would do about workplace issues if elected President.”

Mike Kuykendall presents Edwards Takes Early Iowa Lead posted at Mike Kuykendall, saying, “ohn Edwards pulls ahead in the Iowa Democratic caucuses in early results- stay tuned for updates…”

The Whited Sepulchre presents Al Gore, Time Magazine’s Person of The Year….Almost posted at The Whited Sepulchre, saying, “Thank God for Vladimir Putin !”

Nick Pernisco presents Do you know what the politicians stand for? posted at Understand Media Blog, saying, “This post discusses the media’s influence on who we choose as our leaders. It focuses specifically on the campaigning in Iowa, which now demonstrates that despite all the media coverage for the leading candidates, major upsets were had in both parties.”

Jay M presents Do entrepreneurs make good politicians? posted at 4 entrepreneur, saying, “Do entrepreneurs make good politicians”

Ian Welsh presents Taking Stock In the Last Year of Bush posted at The Agonist, saying, “At the beginning of the end of Bush, it is my hope that the worst of Bush’s legacies, the horrible fear that has made America pull inwards, has led it into the darkness of torture and pre-emptive war (sic), is in its last year too. And I fervently hope that the primary voters will give us presidential candidates who can put America on a new path.”

Ian Welsh presents American Parallels | The Agonist posted at The Agonist, saying, “The development of America as a world power bears similarities to the empires of England, Spain, Rome, and Athens–empires that were great, but ultimately failed. It is this generation’s task to renew the tree of liberty and keep the American experiment going, to remain true to the ideals that made America and have driven it since 1776.”

Sean-Paul Kelley presents John Edwards: The Future Is Now posted at The Agonist, saying, “It is time we pulled America into the future and the man to do this is John Edwards.”

Jon Swift presents Iowa Caucus Results Explained posted at Jon Swift, saying, “The winners of the Iowa caucuses are not decided by who comes in first but instead by a very complex mathematical formula that calculates the quantum spin of the vote, which can be pretty confusing to the layman.”

Leon Gettler presents Primary color of the dollars posted at Sox First, saying, “The financial, insurance, real estate and legal indutries are putting up most of the money. These sectors have provided more than half the funding for Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Giuliani, Romney, McCain and Thompson. Not Huckabee, but he’s damn close.”

200motels presents Sudden Death In Pakistan! posted at 200motels.net, saying, “The Bhutto Assassination and U.S. Foreign Policy Implications”
