The first Amigo to suffer a criminal conviction reflects upon being the last hombre saving.

New Jersey's Republican Gov. Chris Christie and Newark's Democratic Mayor Cory Booker have teamed up in a new web parody video portraying the two men as bitter political rivals desperately trying to one up each other. It's funny with Booker basically serving as Superman. "I got it, Governor!" Booker says, prompting a hapless Christie to fume, "Booker!"

Ostensibly there are very few people willing to say the obvious: that relative to recent political events dealing with the issue of “same-sex marriage” (or “marriage-equality” as others label it), Joe Biden and Barack Obama both messed up. And in my estimation they messed up big time. 

The Obama campaign is hitting hard at Romney, with a 2-minute ad on Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.

Targeting Romney's involvement in the acquistion of GST Steel, the commercial shows workers at a shuttered plant pinning Romney and Bain with the blame.

First it was Bill Clinton was the first "Black" President, now this.

I would be the last to minimize the fact that the President couldn't hit 60% in the West Virginia primary against an incarcerated felon.

With the surprise retirement announcement of 15-term Congressman Edolphus Towns, voters in the newly constituted 8^th Congressional district will have new representation, no matter who they vote for. Council member Charles Barron and Assembly member Hakeem Jeffries are vying for the winner-take-all primary on June 26. Both are well-known in the district’s traditional communities of Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bedford Stuyvesant, Ocean Hill, Brownsville, East New York, Canarsie and Flatlands.

I've always been always been GGG for Dan Savage, but he's being too harsh here on the President.

First, the President's remarks show political courage.  

I accept the fact that Democratic candidates in socially conservative constituencies might take some socially conservative positions, but I rarely can bring myself to be very happy about it.

Accordingly, anti-same sex marriage Assemblyman Steve Cymbrowitz has never been my glass of tea.

Having suffered too many times watching Gerson Borrero on New York One, I'm inclined to believe that he possesses special expertise on the topic of loco behavior, but Gerson’s assertion that Ydanis Rodriguez is the Council's craziest member is rebutted in its entirety by the existence of Charles Barron.

I have to confess I was a little uncomfortable with the ad from team Obama on Bin Laden, from the perspective of these types of attacks (Mitt Romney might not have made the same decision to send Navy SEALs into Pakistan) are best left historically to surrogates. Like the President did do with Vice President Joe Biden, "Bin Laden is dead, General Motors is alive," and former President Bill Clinton from the actual commercial.

Social Media will prove to be extremely important with the 2012 election. Hey, the President's team proved to be Masters with its use in 2008, displaying the viability of Social Media.

They have also demonstrated to be Masters at Facebook Town Hall Meetings, raising money on the Internet, and continue to utilize social media tools in unprecedented ways.

So, Obama lived around the corner from Chuck Schumer and four blocks away from Anthony Weiner (and a block of so from where Domestic Partner lived when, at that time, she had first arrived in the country).  

Watching CNN late at night makes your realize how correct the New York Times is in reporting that the news network’s ratings are in the toilet as you watch these blasé talking heads blindly regurgitate poisonous Republican claims that the situation with the dissident in China is a humiliation to President Obama.
