Sarah Palin’s Political Relativism
For the most part, I try to avoid talking about Sister Sarah in this blog. For one, it always feels like I am either preaching to the choir or my words are falling on deaf ears. The real problem is finding a serious way to respond to her incoherent ramblings without bringing myself down... »
Fear And Loathing In Washington DC
“We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave… and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” – Hunter S. Thompson: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas As I watched the President’s State of the Union Address, I... »
This Isn’t Your Fathers Republican Party
Like Dr. Frankenstein, the Republican Party is about to lose control of the monster that they have created. The previously loyal, ultra-conservative base has risen up in anger and angst to force their will upon the party leadership in upstate New York District #23. What should have been a simple routine election of another... »
The Public Option Lives – For Now
For weeks now, nearly every political pundit on TV has at one time or another declared the public option dead. They just couldn’t see a way for Harry Reid and the rest of the Senate Democrats to gather enough votes to include it in the final bill. However, somewhere between the bluff and bluster... »
The Radical Republican Anti-American Agenda
Once again we have a Democrat in the White House and once again the Republicans are spending nearly 100% of their time trying to tear him down. What began during the Clinton administration with a few loudmouths on the radio and some extreme right wing militias have now been elevated to mainstream Republican Party... »
Voodoo Economics: The Final Report Card On Bush’s Epic Failure
The annual Census Bureau report on income, poverty and access to health care came out late last week and it brought only more bad news for the Bush legacy project. In every single measurable statistic, the numbers were worse after eight years of George W. Bush then at the end of the Clinton Presidency.... »
Mr. TeaBag Goes To Washington
Glenn Beck and the Tea Party movement had their big shindig in Washington D.C. yesterday. Reports vary, but the crowd size is estimated to have been a respectable 30-70,000. There were some claims by the organizers that it was as high as 1.5 million. These claims were of course repeated over and over by... »
Joe Wilson Is Only The Tip Of The Conservative Iceberg
When Joe Wilson pointed his finger at the President and called him a liar last Wednesday, a simultaneous wave of shock, disgust and resignation swept over me. When you look at the video tape of the event I think that Pelosi, Biden and the President all three echoed those very same emotions. Shock because... »
Teaching Your Children to Fear The President
Next Tuesday the President of the United States is scheduled to speak to millions of school children about hard work, good grades and staying in school. It was a message that was meant to inspire and motivate kids to put their nose to the grindstone and do their best. Instead, it has become a... »
Deciphering Tom Ridge
It has been a pretty strange couple of days trying to figure out exactly what Tom Ridge believes happened during his tenure as head of the Department of Homeland Security. In his book he states pretty clearly that he felt that there were political motivations behind some of the arguments to raise the security... »
