Hi, Jason L. Gohlke.

Gov. Schwarzenegger (Schwarzenegger) is now following your updates on Twitter.

A little information about Gov. Schwarzenegger:

4/23/09 Maybe this is why everything is so screwed up.

Our society’s elite opinionmakers are humongous hypocrites.
As the always-brilliant Glenn Greenwald writes in Three key rules of media behavior shape their discussions of “the ‘torture’ debate” at Salon.com:

[R]oughly 40% of Americans favor criminal prosecutions for Bush officials — even before release of the OLC memos — and large majorities favor investigations generally. The premise [...]

3/3/09 Obama reveals Bush administration crimes (part 2 1/2 of 9,347)

I’m too angry to write about this, but I can’t let it go without note.
I’ll leave it to the esteemed Glenn Greenwald to explain the Bush-era documents that the Obama administration released yesterday detailing the regime of secret laws and memos the Bush administration used to rule the country (you know, instead of the Constitution [...]

1/30/09 “Life without Bush” (Morford)

I’ll take a sane president over an abundance of material for columnists any day. That said, I don’t want to read any more columnists complaining that they don’t have Dubya to kick around anymore. It strikes me that the basic message there is, “I’ve gotten used to being able to lazily phone it in, because [...]

1/24/09 5 more things President Obama can do right away

President Obama has been in office a good five days now, and he’s taken several important steps to signal his willingness to reverse some of the worst mistakes of prior administrations. Of course, followup is the most important part, but he has:

Pledged to close the illegal prison at Guantanamo Bay. Wretched legal reasoning from Alberto [...]

11/5/08 Notice how the media use “GOP” as shorthand?

Many, if not most, of the articles I’ve been reading lately refer to the two major parties as the “Democrats” and the “GOP”. I know “GOP” is supposed to stand for “Grand Old Party.” But now I propose a few new backronyms for GOP:

Getting Obsolete Party
Going Overboard Party
Geriatric Out-of-touch Prevaricators

The possibilities are endless, really. Any [...]

11/4/08 gohlkusmaximus calls it for Obama

If you add the 200 electoral votes NBC News has called for Obama to the 55 he’s going to win in California, the 7 he’ll win in our neighbor to the north (Oregon), and the 11 in the great state of Washington, and, heck, give him the 4 in Hawaii… that gives him 277 right [...]
