Monday, June 13th, 2011I’m so sick and tired of the stupid, narrowminded crap that passes for a political message these days. Yes, what Representative Anthony Weiner did was a distraction. Yes, it’s an annoyance. But for the establishment, including DNC Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to call for Weiner’s resignation? Please do us all a favor and shut the [...]
What are Republicans up in arms about?
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011This is ridiculous! The Republican party wants to do away with the EPA, so that polluters can trash our environment. They want to gut Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid to kill off the poor and the elderly. They want to give billionaires even MORE tax breaks – like the ones under Bush worked. There is [...]
Typical Republican Lawmaker
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011And by typical, I mean the recent story about Arnold Schwarzenegger. He vetoed – twice – bills that would allow marriage equality within the State of California. But at the same time? He fathered a child – out of wedlock. Why do I say typical? Because it is. Republicans – be them Schwarzenegger or Gingrich [...]
If the tables were turned…
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011Okay, I totally don’t get this. So in Iowa, where gay marriage is legal (because all seven Iowa Supreme Court justices agreed it was a civil right), the Iowa House is investigating a bill that would allow discrimination against gay people who are married. I understand the basis. If you hold religious beliefs, that’s fine. Everyone [...]
ATTN: People Blaming Obama for the Arizona Immigration Law Being Stopped
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010Yes, the racist Arizona law was blocked. It’s all over the news. And people are already blaming Obama for it. WTF? Here’s the facts. The law was blocked by a Federal Judge, not Obama. Her name is Susan Bolton. Who is Susan Bolton? Someone who has lived in Arizona for quite a while. Someone who [...]
Why the public should never be allowed to vote on civil rights
Monday, July 12th, 2010You would think in this day and age, that people would understand our past. As the saying goes, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And so the going happens with gay marriage. Most people don’t see the parallel between interracial marriage and gay marriage. They claim they are two [...]
Union bashing at 35,000Feet
Thursday, May 13th, 2010It is absolutely no lie that unions are what built the backbone of this nation. Happy to have child labor laws? Paid time off? Workers rights to safe working conditions? Thank a union. And the airlines are actually a largely unionized group, with mechanics, flight attendants, pilots, and the like. Unions are good for the [...]
Palin’s Latest
Monday, May 10th, 2010Reposted from sister blog BuryingTheLead.com Tell me something. Have YOU heard about Sarah Palin’s latest word-mastery? No. And hardly anyone else has, either. Frankly, it’s beyond words. She basically wants American law to go back “the way it was – how our founders intended”. And what is that? Based on a CHRISTIAN God and the [...]
Boycotting Arizona – to make it hurt!
Monday, May 3rd, 2010Reposted from BuryingTheLead.com By now everyone has heard about the new Arizona law that allows racial profiling – basically it’s a crime to be brown-skinned in Arizona. And cops can decide who and what to do about it. PAPERS, PLEASE! Of course there are talks of boycotting Arizona, and the predictable “1,000,000 against Arizona’s new [...]
Quick note about ads
Thursday, April 29th, 2010After years, we finally succumbed and put ads up (the upper right hand side of the page). Here’s the thing. They should be contextual – but either way, politically. We had a “Nation for Marriage” ad that was up against New Hampshire Governor Lynch, chiding him for – among other things – signing the gay [...]
