Pawlenty’s argument against McCain
Thursday, August 28th, 2008Tweet I heard some of the most infuriating words of the election, headed by Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty a bit ago on the XM Satellite radio POTUS ’08 channel. Luckily, I found another interview of the same… Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty did an interview with FOX News (imagine that!) where he was trying to downplay [...]
WOW
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008Tweet Okay – I am a political geek, and have loved watching Democratic conventions since I was a youngster. This one just blew my mind. As the custom, the roll call took place, and when the votes got close enough, the home state was yielded to. Illinois took the floor, and looked like they were [...]
I know I’m not the only one…
Monday, August 25th, 2008Tweet …who shed a tear when Senator Kennedy took the podium at the DNC tonight. This man is a national treasure, and I cannot imagine the Senate without him. Much love, Teddy.
Obama in KC, MO
Monday, August 25th, 2008Tweet Okay – first off, I have to say I am a little disappointed. Though I live in Oregon, I work in downtown Kansas City, Missouri (which makes for a hell of a commute!). A little while ago, there was a commotion across the street. Turns out Obama is in town now, hunkered down in [...]
Complacent? Think about this…
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Tweet I have to admit, seven years after the events of September 11th, 2001, you get a little complacent. We had the horror of that day, and then the wars in Afghanistan and then Bush’s war of choice in Iraq. We have had to deal with war for the last seven years, but without personal [...]
McCain’s Saddleback performance justifies the impeachment of George W. Bush
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Tweet I’m listening to clips of John McCain from my Randi Rhodes podcast and was taken aback. In his performance at Saddleback, John McCain said, in response to a question about Osama bin Laden: No one, no one should be allowed to take thousands of American, innocent American lives Really now, Senator McCain? Then if [...]
Memo to Harry Reid: Strip Lieberman from his committee chairmanships!
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Tweet By now, you have probably heard that Independent Senator Joe Lieberman will be speaking at the Republican National Convention. That’s fine – he has the right to do it. But because Lieberman was formerly a Democrat, and the Democratic Leadership has honored his past service and the fact that he will caucus with Democrats, [...]
Go get them, Roseanne!
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Tweet Okay – so Roseanne hasn’t been much since her television show went off the air. She’s filled in on Air America and done some shows, but really there’s not much going on for her. Well she’s making heads turn now! American’s starry-eyed fascination with the celebutards is both infuriating and fascinating. I mean does [...]
Two important things for progressives
Monday, August 18th, 2008Tweet Okay – as you know, Impeachment has been taken off the table by the Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Well, Dennis Kucinich, who wants to put it back ON the table. Kucinich met an earlier request to get 10,000 signatures on a petition to protect the constitution. Well now Kucinich is looking [...]
