Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Tweet Wow… This is going beyond the pale when it comes to the right wing being nasty and threatening. Howard Rich is heading up an effort with “Americans for Limited Government” (a right wing group) is threatening anyone who makes donations to progressive organizations. Apparently he’s sending a letter out (and I hope to hell [...]
Why not ban the gays?
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Tweet Oh this is something that I just about blew my top over… So the religious right isn’t happy enough that McCain is ignoring their calls to start yabbering about like George W. Bush did on Gay Marriage, so what do they do now? They equate smoking with being gay. Yeah, like it’s a bad [...]
With McCain down in the polls, what does the religious right say?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Tweet To quote the homophobic “Focus on the Family” and those other organizations that deny reality: McCain urged to be more vocal on marriage amendments Can you believe that? The economy is in the toilet. We are going to have a bailout of $700,000,000,000 of public companies (like the $500,000,000,000 bailout of the Savings and [...]
McCain suspending his campaign, eh?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Tweet Okay – so the “Maverick” calls for suspending his campaign, ending commercials, calling off the debate, and as the accidental leak of the talking points say, suspending campaign fundraising. So… Hop on over to JohnMcCain.com and look around. Okay, so the “Contribute” button still works. That’s odd… Oh, and there’s a “McCain Compliance Fund”. [...]
The best piece on the bailout
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Tweet One of my heros is Dennis Kucinich, and he came out with a plan that is the best thing I’ve read on how we should deal with this. You can read it here, but his plan is outlined below: Reinstatement of the provisions of Glass-Steagall, which forbade speculation Re-regulation of the finance, insurance, and [...]
Best quote of the week
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Tweet I love this, in the shadow of the $700,000,000,000 bailout (yes, seven hundred billion): We’ve just been raped, and now we’re being asked to pay for the rape kit. Shamelessly stolen from The Stephanie Miller Show (Jim Ward), who stole it from DemocraticUnderground.com
Palin and the librarian scandal
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Tweet Okay, so sometimes satellite radio is more useful than 24 hour trance music… This morning as I drove into the office and was listening to XM’s POTUS08, they had a guy from PolitiFact.com on to talk about some of Palin’s issues. The issue that I am most interested about was the librarian scandal, because [...]
The best “Democrat versus Republican” compare and contrast list ever!
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Tweet You gotta love DemocraticUnderground.com. There are some awesome posts over there, but nothing compares to the list found here. To quote a couple of my favorites: * If you grow up in Hawaii you’re “exotic.” * Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential “American story.” * If you are a Democratic male [...]
This is why Republicans are wrong (and racist) most of the time
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Tweet There’s a story out about a leader of college Republicans who let a racial slur slip about Obama, and got fired. Yeah, well, he should. I mean racism has absolutely no place in 2008, honestly. But you have to read the entire story and get to the very final paragraph when you get this [...]
Two things about the Palin’s latest child
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Tweet Reading a story about Trig Paxon Van Palen, there were two things that really stood out at me. They were: “I said I am going to stay for the day. I have a speech I was determined to give,” Palin said. She gave the luncheon keynote address for the energy conference. (emphasis mine). Okay [...]
