Thursday, November 6th, 2008Mark Halperin had been contentious and questionable during the entire Presidential election, like the week that John McCain could do nothing without it being gaffe-filled and Obama had a stellar week, but by Halperin’s take, McCain “won the week”.
Still, it’s good to read various reporters, no matter what slant they try to put on the [...]
How to look like a right-wing tool
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008What the hell, Mark Halperin? Are you trying to look even more like a corporate right-wing tool? Well you raised some eyebrows when you declared McCain the “winner of the week” a couple of weeks ago when McCain was in the midst of falling on his face. Now in an interview with someone on the [...]
Make a donation, receive a threat
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Wow… 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 that [...]
Why not ban the gays?
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Oh 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 habit [...]
With McCain down in the polls, what does the religious right say?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008To 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 Loans THAT JOHN [...]
McCain suspending his campaign, eh?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Okay - 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”. Well that [...]
The best piece on the bailout
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008One 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 real estate industries
Accountability [...]
Best quote of the week
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008I 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, 2008Okay, 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 banning [...]
The best “Democrat versus Republican” compare and contrast list ever!
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008You 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 candidate who [...]
