Do you feel it was fitting for President Barack Obama to bow to the king of Saudi Arabia?

Since I cannot start a thread (which I think is a good rule by the way), I have to hijack one -- at least briefly. I do want this thread to continue on, though, because the topic is so important. (Moderators can feel free to move this, of course.) But I also had something I wanted to say to all of you. You know that I read DU and have for quite some time, long before any of you knew my name. I really appreciate the support you have given me on this latest hurdle and before. It means a...

I have to admit that, as Sean says, my heart is troubled. There are a lot of signs that President Bush is going to win a closely contested race. But it's too close for comfort. Still... I flipped on Big Eddie Schultz a couple of days ago to see what he's saying. (Actually, I'm pretty impressed with Eddie. He has a nice radio presence. However, because he's a liberal, he doesn't have a leg to stand on and must rely on lies to fill the three hours of his show.) I caught him during a rant in which he screamed...

Kerry, who toured the technical college's manufacturing learning lab with Clyburn before announcing the endorsement, said that the two men had become friends during some of Kerry's visits to the state, where he has not campaigned since Sept. 12. "I've had some good times with him, learned how to talk over the loud noise in a garage in a fish fry, and dance a bit late at night," Kerry said. "I wouldn't call that dancing," Clyburn interjected. "I thought for a white guy I showed some rhythm," Kerry replied. "I guess I'll have to take a few more lessons. I'm...

Superheroes for saving Saddam? Brent Bozell (back to web version) September 19, 2003 It was only a matter of time, I suppose. Comic-book superheroes have gone into the liberal political indoctrination business. The September issue of the DC Comics book "Justice League of America," or "JLA," presents Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman as U.N.-promoting paper dolls for a thinly disguised propaganda play against President Bush's war on Saddam Hussein. The story begins with a "napalmetto" attack on home soil. President Lex Luthor -- how nice, a supervillain standing in for President Bush -- connects the terror attack to "Qurac" and...

The other online Tony news this week is that I'm closing down the TONY POLLS for the foreseeable future. Following several days of electronic and phone harassment, a Bush supporter...or maybe a small group of Bush supporters...tried to stuff the ballot box on our political questions. When a great number of votes come in all in a matter of an hour or so, you know someone is trying to fix the fight. I had little choice but to take all but the comics question off the ballot. I'll have more to say about this harassment in next weekend's TIPS. For...

In the next presidential election, are you more likely to vote for George W. Bush or the Democratic Party candidate? In a primary, for which of these Democratic Party candidates would you vote?
