« Previous EntriesDifferences in how Republican and Democrat Actions are Dealt With
Sunday, January 29th, 2012Sometimes it really surprises me how “outraged” republicans can be over something innocuous, or even miniscule. But something big by republicans? It’s glossed over like, “Who cares?” Case in point. Remember back in 2003 when there was an uproar over a submission of a commercial where someone compared George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler? People [...]
An Open Letter to the Students of Penn State
Thursday, November 10th, 2011I saw that the students of Penn State were rioting last night, in support of their long time football coach, who was fired. You can do that, sure. You can support the man. But by supporting a man who “looked the other way” on the issue of child rape, you’re showing what an asshat you [...]
Dump DOMA! And thank you President Obama
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011We all know that DOMA, the so called “Defense of Marriage Act” from the 1990s, is discriminatory. States are allowed to regulate marriage, and several have done so (along with the District of Columbia) to include gays and lesbians. Senator Dianne Feinstein brought forth a bill in the Senate that repeals DOMA earlier this year. [...]
A side effect of the Healthcare law?
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011This is pretty awesome. We all know about the health insurance companies that pay for Viagra, but refuse to pay for contraception for women. That’s not only not right, it’s downright sexist! But a side effect of the new healthcare law? Apparently because of a panel recommendation, health insurance companies will be required to offer [...]
Distraction, distraction, distraction
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011I, for one, think the Murdoch empire being under such tight scrutiny because of the phone hacking scandal is awesome. I mean seriously – the man has been supporting illegal search and seizure, phonetapping, and lord knows whatever else for decades. And he’s finally being brought up and questioned about it. And then an idiot with [...]
The Debt Battle – Quantified
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011You want to know who’s fighting for you? And who’s fighting for the billionaires out there? I thought I’d quantify if for people. And here it is: How’s that? In 2010, there were 308,000,000 Americans in the United States. At that same time, there were 7,800,000 millionaires. Democrats (blue) are fighting for every single person [...]
What Is Michele Bachmann Hiding?
Wednesday, June 29th, 2011The internet is a wonderful thing – for people like me who like to dig around to find things. Previously, I’d posted a story from Minnesota.publicradio.org that talked about Michele Bachmann, among others, who used taxpayer dollars for a political rally. You can read that story here. Then I decided to go digging through her [...]
Bachmann and public funds
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011So there’s a report that Bachmann and others have used public funds for political rallies. You can read it here. First thing is, it WAS a rally, not a press conference. Bachmann’s websites seem to have been scrubbed of all references; even her Facebook page. And since the Wayback Machine isn’t working at the moment, [...]
Filed under: BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011You remember half-term governor Sarah Palin? Yeah, the Alaskan Governor who decided to quit halfway into her term? Remember when she went on that “Summer Long American Tour” that put the press in a frenzy? She quit halfway through. I’m serious! She quit. Halfway through. This is like a pattern for her. What a dumbass.
Hannity to Huntsman: Are you SURE you’re anti-gay enough?
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011I just love this… So yesterday John Huntsman go into the GOP 2012 Presidential race. Sure, his message of “Let’s get out of Afghanistan” is going to be overshadowed by the impending announcement by the President tonight. But you know what couldn’t stand? Huntsman’s statement that he respected President Obama. Republicans didn’t like that at [...]
