Anonymous said...: Well golly gosh maybe she ought to run. The situation is still too fluid for her to define herself. Perhaps in October 2016. Nixon was a peace candidate in 1968, that would be a good idea. The crisis around Iran is that we haven't attacked yet, because Iran is structurally our ally on too many fronts. Whereas Obama understands what cards he's holding, someone campaigning to bomb bomb Iran, messes up the constructive engagement. Too late,Iran just signed a military defense pact with Russia. Russians have seen this movie before when Germany-Italy-Japan came knocking at their door. Brzezinski in senate hearing yesterday warned against an expansionist Russia in Estonia. No need for such a cover story. Zbig was happy for the US bilaterally to sell weapons to Ukraine. Like maybe nuclear missiles, Dr. Strangelove? This is all unravelling too fast and far out of HRC's control.; January 23, 2015 at 2:31 PM

A truly independent journalist with his feet firmly grounded in the reality of neighborhoods and everyday people. -- Patrick Mazza, Progressive Populist

A truly original voice in American journalism: humorous and plain spoken and filled with common sense -- Jay Walljasper, Utne Reader

Inimitable -- Mother Jones Magazine

Sam's a cynical cat -- Marion Barry

Sam's one of the few independent voices left. The press today is either extreme or special interest or else just establishment, an extension of the corporate spirit -- Sen. Eugene McCarthy,

One of a small group of whites with whom many blacks would trust their political lives - Chuck Stone, Washingtonian.

A reputation for wit, intelligence and anger. -- Claude Lewis, Chicago Tribune

Smith is an island of reason and information in a sea of narcissistic blather. -- City Paper, Washington

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
