    Chris, you forget the imposition of “The Fairness Doctrine” to stifle dissent and the appointment of a propaganda minister spinmeister in the White House.

    What else would control freaks need?

    The Democrats and “The One” now have it all – except the Supreme Court.

    Let the buyers beware.

    • I’ve obtained documents sent to a reader in response to his FOIA request regarding the creation of Barack Obama’s Change.gov website. It gives you the rest of the story. You’ll recall last month that I blogged several questions about the propriety of allowing the perpetual Obama campaign to use a .gov domain name for what appeared to be a fund-raising front. Readers and industry observers noted that the decision appeared to violate General Services Administration rules governing government domains.
    • Opponents argue that the amendment cannot be applied retroactively, but proponents say the amendment is clear on that issue.

      "Proposition 8's brevity is matched by its clarity," one of the briefs read. "There are no conditional clauses, exceptions, exemptions, or exclusions: 'Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.'

      " … Its plain language encompasses both pre-existing and later-created same-sex (and polygamous) marriages, whether performed in California or elsewhere. With crystal clarity, it declares that they are not valid or recognized in California."

    • Geraldine Ferraro gave a thumbs down to Caroline Kennedy's bid for the Senate yesterday – even as the Camelot daughter won her biggest endorsement for the job, The Post has learned.

      Ferraro, the first woman nominee for vice president, sent a letter to Gov. Paterson urging him to instead appoint one of New York's six sitting female Congress members to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Senate.

      At the same time, Brooklyn Democratic Party head Vito Lopez, who leads the biggest county party in the city, issued the first formal endorsement for Kennedy.

      Ferraro is correct. But the fix is in!

    • Caroline Kennedy is finally sharing some of her political opinions with the people she's campaigning to represent — casting herself in the liberal tradition of uncle Ted Kennedy, bucking Barack Obama by supporting same-sex marriage and disavowing Hillary Clinton's 2002 vote for the Iraq invasion.

      A Kennedy spokesman drafted seven written answers to the eight questions submitted by Politico to the 51-year-old attorney, author and electoral novice.

      Some of Kennedy's responses were brief and vague — and she flatly refused to answer a pressing political query we posed: Will she support the Democratic nominee for New York mayor in 2009?

      Caroline Kennedy is an empty suit but good enough for New York apparently

    • Republican lawmakers on Tuesday rejected a Democratic proposal for a temporary 1 1/2-cent sales tax hike despite pleas by their colleagues across the aisle to look beyond political partisanship in the face of California going broke.

      Good for the California GOP – need to hold their ground or there will be no tax reform
