Guliani – FEC Violator?
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Tweet Nice little story that just passed over my inbox… Looks like Guiliani, who said that he would take a leave of absence/leave his “day job” at the security company when he started his run for the Presidency, didn’t. Gee, another republican liar? Looks like Rudy may just be in trouble with the FEC because [...]
First of it’s kind: Presidential Spam
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Tweet No, not what Bush eats besides cheeseburgers and choking on pretzels. There is a first for Presidential races – spam! It started after a Republican debate where the unknown spammer(s) started extolling the virtues of Ron Paul, saying he won the debate. Wouldn’t you know it would be a republican that would do this? [...]
To go along with the BunkerBuster bombs for Iran…
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Tweet The UK and US are talking about the United States being able to upgrade some facilities on the island of Diego Garcia in order to better position the US to bomb Iran. Will Bush not be happy until we are all nuked beyond recognition? The scariest part of the article is the talk of [...]
Buildup to Iran – Bunker Busters hidden in the latest funding bill
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Tweet Check out the nice little hidden part of the emergency funding bill. Buried in the $196Billion request – which A) we know about the war so who still buys this is an emergency request and B) is pushing us towards a $2.6Trillion (yes, TRILLION) dollar war cost – is a request to fit the [...]
Yet another criminal act by the Bush administration
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007Tweet Just when you wouldn’t think the Bush administration could get any lower, they leap further down into the pit. In recent testimony to the Senate, the Director of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding, was there to talk about the coming dangers of health risks associated with global warming. But her testimony was given to [...]
Why the T in GLBT is just as important as the other letters
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007Tweet Like many people, I am in support of the ENDA (Employement Non-Discrimination Act) that Congress has recently debated, and passed, in the House, without the “T”. I thought that we should just pass it as is, because it’s important to get protections into place for members of the gay community. After all, I actually [...]
Campaigning with “the enemy”
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007Tweet There has been much said about Obama campaigning with anti-gay Reverend Donnie McClurkin, and people are trying to defend Obama “because Clinton did it to. And so did Oprah”, blah, blah, blah. But here’s the thing. You can meet with whomever you want. It is good to meet with the opposition. It’s very much [...]
Has nobody made the connection?
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007Tweet On my way from work last night, and again on my way to work this morning, I heard news stories on how Bush is asking for record funds for the war. For this year alone, Bush is asking for almost $200Billion. For ONE year. But nobody on either show, an Air America show and [...]
Damn right wing tools!
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007Tweet Okay, this is frustrating as hell, and I’m getting really sick of it. Republicans have one thing going for them. They are tools of the highest order, and know just how to work certain situations. Case in point, the General Patreus situation with MoveOn.org recently. We all know how that went down; Republicans and [...]
So what is mainstream, anyway?
Monday, October 1st, 2007Tweet Okay, I think that everyone can agree that Democrats were elected in 2006 to bring about change. Specifically, people wanted to end the war, and to make Bush and Cheney accountable for their actions. A year later, Democrats have allowed war funding to continue, and Pelosi and Reid have declared that impeachment is “off [...]
