About Me:
Howie Klein spent much of his life wandering around the world living in places like Afghanistan, Nepal, Holland and Morocco. He moved backed to America when Richard Nixon resigned and promptly helped start the first punk rock radio show in the country and then a DIY punk rock record label. His adventures in the music business ended a couple of years ago when he retired as president of Reprise Records. He began blogging almost immediately, starting Down With Tyranny. Jane taught him html while he held one of her dogs at a party. He is a raw foodist, lives in L.A., swims and hikes every day, thinks Howard Dean could be a president as great as FDR and will never be completely happy until Bush and Cheney are behind bars.

When I allowed myself to be talked into supporting Barack Obama for president-- I had been an early enthusiast when he was a longshot state Senator in Chicago running in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate-- I warned the young man urging me to abandon my post-Edwards neutrality and forget that Hillary Clinton had a more progressive voting record, that he should steel himself for disappointment.

If you ever just pick a judicial candidate randomly at the polling place-- I mean who really knows one from the other, right-- I hope that after you read this, you'll never do it again.

The Far Right Turns On McCain … Again

Yesterday when McCain flipped out-- first lashing out hysterically at Obama because he failed to keep Republican senators from deserting his anti-veterans position and embarrassing the entire Senate, and then throwing pastors John Hagee and Rod Parsley unceremoniously under the bus-- I had a feeling the far right base would react against him. They did-- but not really for these reasons. Michael Luo's NY Times column, McCain Says Immigration Reform Should Be Top Priority is what lost him, at least for this week, the backing of the racist zealots that make up a substantial part of the lunatic fringe part of Republican base.
