“A stuffed Dingell trophy on the wall would send shock waves”

“A stuffed Dingell trophy on the wall would send shock waves”

What the hell is it with conservative Republicans and their violent rhetoric? I was searching Twitterland for info on Congressman John Dingell (“The Dean of the House”) when I came across this tweet from his opponent, Rob Steele: Henry Payne writes “A stuffed Dingell trophy on the wall would send shock waves through Washington.” http://fb.me/AsilJ9Ty I’ve written about Rob Steele […]

Tim Walberg finally makes up his mind on Social Security. Ehhhh…sorta

You may recall my blog a few weeks ago titled Tim Walberg is for privatizing social security WHILE he’s against it. MI-07 Republican candidate Tim Walberg wasn’t for privatizing social security BEFORE he was against it, he is for privatizing security WHILE he is against it. Seriously. First, we have this press release from the Walberg campaign which came out […]

Stop calling them “Tea Partiers”. They’re REPUBLICANS!

Stop calling them “Tea Partiers”. They’re REPUBLICANS!

I’m just sayin’… Giving my wife props for the idea for this blog entry. It’s time we changed the meme and change how we talk about the teabaggers. There is no “Tea Party” in the USA, not as a political party. There may be a bunch of clubs scattered around the country, groups of like-minded mostly-white, mostly-bigoted, super conservative no-brainers […]

AZ-Sen: This is (not) good news for John McCain

AZ-Sen: This is (not) good news for John McCain

Last month, our good friend poblano Nate Silver gave Rodney Glassman only a 1.5% chance of beating Grandpa Senator McCain. But that was before the latest Rasmussen poll came out. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds McCain earning 51% of the vote to Democrat Rodney Glassman’s 37%, his best showing to date. Seven […]

Purging “bad” Dems is fine AFTER the election. Let’s GOTV! Howard Dean agrees!

Purging “bad” Dems is fine AFTER the election. Let’s GOTV! Howard Dean agrees!

Less than 60 days, folks. That’s what we have left to get this done and prevent the GOPosaurs from shutting down Congress for the next two years. Don’t like Obama? Don’t like the Blue Dogs? Don’t like {fill in the blank}? Fine. I’m with ya on some of it. But right now is decidedly NOT the time to stand on […]

Godwin’s Bumper

Godwin’s Bumper

I’m sorry, but I totally refudiate this: Boycott Arizona – The SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS State Don’t get me wrong, I agree 100% with the sentiment. I won’t be spending a dime in Arizona until they repeal that odious law. But why the swastika? Really, has our level of discourse plummeted so far that we can toss around that symbol […]

Dingell foe: “Vote for me, I’m totally inexperienced”

Dingell foe: “Vote for me, I’m totally inexperienced”

Rob Steele, a wealthy cardiologist, is running against the “Dean of the House”, Congressman John Dingell. His campaign is your typical ultra-right conservative blah-blah: cutspendingcuttaxesdemocratsareresponsibleforthedeficit…etc., etc. But, I have to say, Rob Steele takes the whole “vote for me, not the ‘career’ politician” thing to a new level. Last night on Sean Hannity’s Great American Panel, he accused John Dingell […]

Catholic Church desecrates site of Oklahoma City bombing

Sure, they were allowed to do it. But that doesn’t make it right. It turns out that after Timothy McVeigh who was raised Catholic destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, the Catholic church had the audacity to build a statue right across the street! Yes, you read that right. McVeigh took the lives of 168 innocent people including 19 […]

“The Tea Party” excluded from Nov. ballot due to font size

An effort to put “The Tea Party” on the November ballot in Michigan has failed. Not because it’s a fake group trying to help Democrats at the polls by splitting far-right wing votes (which it is.) No, it’s because the font size of the word “the” was wrong. Totally not kidding. The Michigan Court of Appeals said Monday that a […]

Mich Dems get a gift from State Supreme Court Justice Weaver

Former Republican Michigan Supreme Court Justice (and former Chief Justice) Elizabeth Weaver is announced today that she is resigning. Weaver cited the discord on and bipartisan politicization of the Court as a factor in her decision. She has, in the past, said that she felt that 8-year terms were too long for judges. Weaver called the present system of party […]

Eff you, ‘baggers. Maybe WE should “Go Galt”.

Honestly, I’m starting to get a twitch in the corner of my eye and a weird little nervous tic has developed. Watching the contortions of conservatives, particularly teabaggers and the worst of the worst Republicans (I’m lookin’ at YOU, John Boehner) is starting to push me to the brink. Screw you guys. Maybe WE should “Go Galt”. These supposed “strict […]
