Frankly, Koch is. . .about as credible (5.00 / 2) (#2)

as David Brooks. If I'm not mistaken, he endorsed W in 2004.

I don't much care for his views myself (5.00 / 1) (#3)

but I did think the point about his daughters was  worth mentioning, plus it brought the song to mind as I was reading it and it's a great song.

Fair enough (5.00 / 2) (#8)

I think the mind reading he does with respect to Obama's statement about his Grandmother is off base.

Have you read Christopher Hitchen's (none / 0) (#10)

piece on Obama and his maternal grandmother and the speech?  I haven't.  Just saw the headline.

Hitchens is hot and cold. Mostly cold.

One of the byproducts (5.00 / 1) (#52)

Of getting more and more pushed out of the Democratic Party is that I can enjoy the hysterics of people like Hitchens totally guilt free.

I just read it (5.00 / 1) (#132)

It was spot on, in my opinion. I don't like Hitchens very much - among other things, I think he has some 'women issues'. One thing I do like about him is that he is a non-apologetic atheist.

Anyway, the article was very good. He eviscerates church-based divisiveness from every angle, white and black. I'm a fan of consistency.

That's (none / 0) (#189)

what my husband likes about him--he's an atheist.  In the U. S., we have trouble realizing that very few people in Europe (6%) attend any kind of formal church services on a regular basis.

"Just Roll Tape" (none / 0) (#140)

Stephen Stills released a CD last year of rediscovered solo audition tape sessions he did of many of the CSNY hits he wrote. It's called Just Roll Tape.

It is an amazing CD, rough around the edges but clearly showing his astonishing talent on these haunting, beautiful songs.

Not trying to sell anything here. Just thought you might like it.

He still seems to have some crediblity (none / 0) (#57)
by nycstray on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 02:17:32 AM EST
around here. He just did an appearance with the new Gov on Sunday and was also at the swearing in along with everyone else. Can't remember if he endorsed W, but he's still a go to for comments.

Of course, I may be judging his appeal wrong because our local media isn't one of the cable networks ;) How freakin' sad is that. Cable news has tanked.
