A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Richardson changes mind and endorses Obama
Before the Texas/Ohio primary dates, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson had given some indication he didn’t want to pull the trigger on an endorsement until there was a bit more separation in the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Well, this morning, he changed his mind and endorsed Obama. With Obama struggling to put Rev. Jeremiah Wright behind him, while at the same time, Clinton struggles with being revealed as pro-NAFTA after all, the endorsement is timely. And, given how much Clinton has targeted Hispanics, the endorsement by the country’s highest-ranking Hispanic elected official can’t hurt, either. And, given his Cabinet-level and private experience in foreign affairs, it also helps refute Clinton’s “3 a.m. phone call” idea.
