sullivan cites anatoly libermans post concerning the use of the singular they to replace he or she.
i was trained on my first job to use they. there wasnt a whole lot of logic passed down to me. it was more a matter of expediency.
at the newspaper we used he or she if memory serves. at the website were all over the place to be honest ill certainly bring this up at our next copy desk meeting.

mccains campaign has been nothing but a series of tactics concentrating on winning the news cycle however short rather than the election. it has been about tearing barack obama down while offering little of substance in exchange. the economy is in freefall with some sovereign nations on the brink of bankruptcy and imf intervention and mccain thinks people are really upset about acorn or bill a...

no thats not an oxymoron.a weve all had favorites over the years individuals with whom we may not agree on everything but whom we regarded as thoughtful honorable wellintentioned.a jim leach is one example that comes to mind chuck hagel is another.a for many it used to be john mccain.
it therefore is no small irony that many of the republicans who i and others have respected the most are either e... [Show More]

the attacks and rhetoric were seeing from the mccainpalin camp now goes far beyond run of the mill gutter politics to something far more dangerous. campaign events for mccain palin look more like kkk rallies with shouts to kill him. theyre tapping into seething racism to fire up the base.

as the polls suggest a strong victory the hannitylim baughsteyn oreilly base are going into shock and extreme rage. mccain and palin have decided to stoke this rage to foment it to encourage paranoid notions that somehow obama is a secret terrorist or islamist or foreigner. these are base emotions in both sen...

electoral politics are about showing and provingno amount of affirmative action can get you to the presidency. you have to compete and win. if youre the sort of voter who shows up at one of these deadend rallies who likely believes that obama never deserved the hype he got that he was only a big deal because he was the black guy t...

i love the daily commentary by andrew tanenbaum at electoralvote.com. his analysis hits a sweet spot of providing one layer of judicious data analysis and a daily dose of spoton commentary that usually hits the key point. his site also contains hidden riches of local race coverage. today he covers the financial crisis the threat to capitalism and the lameness of traditional media coverage of the e...

here are factdriven responses to several of the accusations aimed at obama in the past few days
regarding the accusation by mccain that he has never taken on his own party. not true.
regarding the constant innuendodriven accusation by palin one that seriously crosses the line into inciting a riot that obama wont explain the ayers connection. heres obamas answer. you can choose not to believe it ... [Show More]
i wonder if the media will ever do a cover story of the effects on our society that is produced by the right wing media. the hate is palpable with these people. but it doesnt stop in bethlehem pa.

i just have to say these are very similar sentiments to my own. at this point a mccain defeat will actually probably be a blessing in disguise for conservatives. of course for the socialcons and others this will perhaps only spark greater belief in the notion that we need more hardcore social conservatives on the ticket though perhaps the failure of palin to deliver will water this down. maybe tha...

from andrew sullivan this morning
there was always going to be a point of revolt and panic for a core group of americans who believe that obama simply cannot be president because hes black or liberal or young or relatively new. this is that point. as the polls suggest a strong victory the hannitylim baughsteyn oreilly base are going into shock and extreme rage. mccain and palin have decided to ...
