| David Bender: Perceiving Reality | | huffingtonpost.com -
I am continually astonished at the absence of irony -- call it an "irony deficiency" -- in the ever-shifting declarations of the participants in this presidential campaign.
No one needs a bigger booster shot than Bill Clinton.
Shortly after Senator Clinton's near-loss in Indiana (she ended up with just an 11,000 vote victory out of almost 1.3 million cast, a margin of less than one per cent), the former president turned revisionist-historian-in-chief said that ""In...More |
| Military adds armor to Iraq vehicles as roadside bombs surge | | huffingtonpost.com -
WASHINGTON — The U.S. military is reinforcing the sides of its topline mine-resistant vehicles to shore up what could be weak points as troops see a spike in armor-piercing roadside bombings across Iraq, The Associated Press has learned.
The surge in attacks is putting the mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles (MRAPs) to the test, and so far they are largely passing. Statistics reviewed by the AP show that while bombings involving the deadly penetrating explosives have jum...More |

Room, during an interview with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney
(R), host Wolf Blitzer said: "I asked him [Sen. Barack Obama] to respond
to your criticism of him that he really hasn't accomplished much
legislatively or in the world of business." Blitzer then played a video
clip of Obama, who said: "I think he was making those same arguments
against John McCain, suggesting John McCain, as a senator, hadn't done
what Mitt Romney had done. ...More |

| Jayne Lyn Stahl: Rocky Timed Out | | huffingtonpost.com -
The chickens of Rocky past are coming home to roost today as 1972 presidential Democratic nominee, George McGovern, defected from the Clinton camp to endorse Obama which is further proof that any analogies between Rocky Balboa and Hillary Clinton are strained. McGovern joins a chorus of those who think Clinton should walk away.
But, echoing the Bush mindset, Hillary ignores those who suggest that she do now what she must inevitably do. She has just lent her campaign anot...More |

Staring into the jaws of a paper monster, even or especially one of our own construction, or teetering high over a chasm between impossible choices can be just as terrifying as the obstacles others lay in our path and our ability to keep trying to fix it, to connect--amongst many peoples or just two people--is something that can define a life.
Women and their obsessions and longing (longing just a ...More |

As the author of GameChangers - Improvisation for Business in the Networked World, the co-founder, with Dr. Virginia Kuhn, of GameChangers, LLC and the primary blogger on gamechangers.com, I feel qualified to weigh in on the recent bandying-about of the phrase 'gamechanger' by the Democratic presidential candidates, and the media gnawing on it the night of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries like teething puppies who'd just dragged a shoe out of a closet.

| Victor Navasky and Christopher Cerf: Balance at the New York Times | | huffingtonpost.com -
When the New York Times recently announced that they had hired William Kristol as their new Op-Ed columnist, they came in for some criticism from the left: Why was the Times kowtowing to the right by hiring the editor of the right-wing Weekly Standard?
On the surface, the answer was simple. In the old days, they had William Safire, Vice President Agnew's ex-speech writer, as the house conservative, and now that Safire had retired, to restore the balance between left and rig...More |

NEW YORK (AP) — Of the Democratic presidential candidates, would Republican John McCain rather take on Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton?
