Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006Tweet I received an email from my Congressional Representative, Earl Blumenauer, today, and was pleased to read that he’s introduced a redeployment of our troops, starting with the National Guard, this year. The proposal is HR 4983, and aims to start bringing our troops home. As we saw with Katrina, we are undermanned here in [...]
Air America and WLIB
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006Tweet So O’Reilly and all of the right wing echochamber kept saying that Air America was “on the brink of being extinct”. The latest lie was that WLIB, which is Air America’s flagship station in New York City, was dumping Air America. Well that’s just not true. It was just announced that Air America is [...]
One of the best political cartoons
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006Tweet I just love this one. After hearing so much about the Bush press conference yesterday and him lying one time after the other, this just *so* fits. This is from the website of Ann Telnaes, an Editorial Cartoonist.
Ed Meese in a Coma 1992-2000?
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006Tweet That’s the only thing that I can come up with when I read a local Reno story where Ed Meese was campaigning for Republican Assembly candidate Ty O. Cobb. Meese said that Republicans face challenges, but the “Democratic alternative will keep the GOP in power…” Wha? And what was even more laughable was the [...]
Don’t drink in Texas
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006Tweet Interested in having a drink in a bar? Don’t do it in Texas! Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents and police swept through 36 bars, arresting 30 people on charges of public intoxication. Why? A proactive measure to curtail drunken driving. Even patrons at a bar in a hotel, where the drinkers were staying in [...]
Katrina: Have we moved on?
Tuesday, March 21st, 2006Tweet That’s exactly what many Katrina survivors are worried about. With so many people bankrupt and destitute, there’s so much more to do – but they think we’ve given up on them…
Q: When is a bill NOT a bill?
Tuesday, March 21st, 2006Tweet Answer: When the President signs a copy of the bill that doesn’t match both the Senate and House versions that Congress passed. Back in December, Cheney had to cut an overseas trip to come back and cast the tie breaking vote that would cause the Government to cut funding for the elderly, sick, infirm, [...]

Dems in 2008: One In, One Out
Tuesday, March 21st, 2006Tweet If you’re keeping score on who is and who isn’t going to run in 2008 on the Democratic ticket, you can count Joe Biden on the “who will run” list. Interestingly, he declared so during a visit to South Carolina. Now the “conventional wisdom” is that a Democrat can’t get elected unless they have [...]
Christian in Afghanistan – Death Penalty
Tuesday, March 21st, 2006Tweet Right wingers who are intolerant of other religions, sexual orientation, and the color of a persons skin, LISTEN UP! A man who converted to Christianity in Afghanistan while he was an aid worker is facing the death penalty solely because he converted to Christianity from Islam, and will not change back. In Afghanistan, this [...]
