The annual unveiling of the black velvet (with pink glitter) Christmas elk. I’m just sayin’…

You’ve probably read Sam Graham-Felsen’s Washington Post op-ed, a friendly fire-filled piece suggesting that Organizing for America (OFA) volunteers have been put on the sidelines by the Obama administration for the past year. I am a Community Organizer (CO) for OFA. Mine is a volunteer position that is the equivalent of the Field Directors during the 2008 Campaign for Change. […]

How cute is this? (from my email): Tea Party Nation, along with our friends at Tea Party Express, FreedomWorks and other “we the people” groups are putting on the National Appropriations Bill Read-in. We need your help. Starting this afternoon at around 6pm, in Washington, we will be reading the Omnibus Appropriations Bill in its entirety. We will be doing […]

How weird have things gotten when, in the same day, I get emails from Firedoglake, the Tea Party Nation and MoveOn.org all asking me to to the same thing: call my member of Congress and demand they vote against the tax deal negotiated between the Republicans and President Obama? I’m going to go with “very” weird. I’m just sayin’… If […]

Spooky just loves getting dressed up for the holidays… Photo by Anne C. Savage. Don’t worry. He loves this. Well, kinda. I’m just sayin’…

Remember when Ronald Reagan pulled down the solar panels installed on the White House by Jimmy Carter under the guise of routine maintenance and cleaning and then never put them back up? Well a similar effort may be underway. When she took over as Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi initiated the “Green the Capitol” initiative. Incoming Republicans are eyeing […]

Got this in an email from the Tea Party Nation today: If you could fog a mirror in 2008, you no doubt saw the terrible effect the drive by media had on the election. They might as well have been the advertising arm for Barack Obama. Yeah remember that? Muslim and “not American”? Reverend Wright? Palling around with terrorists like […]

…before we can just laugh them off as a joke that nobody — and I mean NOBODY! — takes seriously anymore??? From Dave Weigel: Cornyn and Thune Defend the Earmarks They Requested and Will Vote Against Seriously. These two morons are actually defending earmarks that they themselves put into a bill and now claim they will vote against because, by […]

Politico is reporting today that Michigan Gov. Granholm may become part of the Obama administration. It comes as part of an overall shake-up of the White House staff that will give David Plouffe, mastermind of the 2008 Obama for America campaign, a more central role as senior advisor. He will replace David Axelrod who will move into campaign management mode. […]

In an op-ed in the Washington Post yesterday, U.S. attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. and secretary of health and human services Kathleen Sebelius make a compelling case for the Constitutionality of health insurance reform law. Roughly 20 cases question the new law’s individual responsibility provision, which says that Americans who can afford to must maintain basic health coverage. Federal […]

Via Think Progress: Earlier this year, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, an 17-year Army veteran, refused to report for duty at Fort Campbell, KY because he said his orders emanated from an illegal President who is not a natural born U.S. citizen. As such, Lakin said he had “no choice” but to disobey the orders and that he would “gladly deploy” […]
