Unemployement benefits and the big “FU!”

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Like many Americans, I have been watching the Senate wrangle with the issue of unemployment benefits, and the detestable act that Kentucky Senator Bunning has committed in denying benefits be continued.  Then I watched as Senator John Kyl of Arizona, the number two Republican in the Senate, call people that got unemployment benefits “lazy”.  This [...]

Homophobia seems to be making a comeback (image technically NSFW)

Monday, February 15th, 2010

It seems that there is more and more homophobia, calls for violence, and all-out crappy treatment of the LGBT community that either being reported, or just becoming more fashionable to do.  I’m not sure which one if is, but it’s disturbing, especially given that hate crimes against the LGBT community seem to be going up.
So [...]

Another difference between Democrats and Republicans

Friday, February 12th, 2010

There has been a great “compare and contrast Democrats and Republicans” list out there for quite a while, and trust me it is great.  But recently, something struck me as the biggest difference of them all.  Let me tell you about it.  And yes, it may sound hokey, but there is definitely a lesson to [...]

Straight boys looking at naked ladies makes them GAY?!?!?!

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Okay, who came up with this?  Oh yeah, some yabbo – Senator Tom Coburn’s Chief of Staff at the Value Voters summit – declared that.  Okay, who believes these wackos?
But just in case, maybe I should send Hugh Jackman a case of Playboy magazines….and my address.

Things I’ve heard on the passing of Senator Kennedy

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

You want to see the real difference between a Democrat and a Republican?  I know this comes from my observations, but having watched the same thing on right-wing television this morning, I know others have experienced it.
Democrats, upon hearing Senator Kennedy has died: He was the lion of the Senate.  He was the reason so [...]

NOM brings me back to 1967

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Okay, so I wasn’t born until late 1967, and I don’t remember this myself.  But the feelings are the same.  Watch NOM’s latest commercial (you can find it here) talking about “activist judges” and “forcing gay marriage on Iowa”.  Then take a step back and think about 1967 and interracial marriage.
You know, back in the [...]

Why I Want To Run the White House Healthcare Planning and Debate

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Okay, I have to admit that at times, I can be a control freak.  But it is only because when I see something is misguided and not firing on all cylinders, I want to make it right for all those concerned.  It’s this reason that I want to go to the White House and be [...]

If you have to lie to make a point, don’t you know it discredits you?

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Apparently not, at least to Republicans.  Take a look at this video.  The “I’m just a local mom” lady is a Republican plant, who worked on the campaign of the Republican trying to defeat the Democratic Representative in the last election.
Just a mom?  No.  But maybe a Mother…

New DNC ad. What do you think?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Have you seen the new DNC ad?  It explains how the RNC attacks on Obama and healthcare are purely for political reasons, and the public “outrage” at town hall meetings is bought and paid for by the RNC.
Watch it here – and tell us what you think.

Two things I did to help bring Republicans back to reality

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

I have to admit, it is kindof fun watching the idiot republicans pull themselves away from reality and try and dig into this birther thing.  It’s almost as disgusting as watching Representative Virginia Foxx lie on the floor of the House.  But I had to do something.  I mean these people are so divorced from [...]
