Barack Obama's epic win

The young senator makes history not only in terms of race, while a determined Hillary Clinton delays the inevitable a bit longer.

    Still more Hillary bashing

    Anyone who is paying attention knows that the media — including Salon.com — has been mean to Hillary and has apparently had a very good, time of it. Same with lots of men and even, god help us, lots of women.

    The sexism is blatant, as is the underlying classism. If you don't believe the latter is in play, go back and read the long article Sally Quinn wrote for the Washington Post just as the Clintons came on the scene.

    Now we will get months of racism b/c, my fellow Americans, this ugliness shows us as we are.
