The Washington Post has reported that the anti-health care reform camp is spending $1.4 million per day to fight health care reform efforts, particularly to kill the public option. The aim of the lobbying blitz is simple: to minimize the damage to insurers, hospitals and other major sectors while maximizing the potential of up to 46 million uninsured Americans as […]

Spread this one far and wide. Email it to your elderly (American) grandparents, other relatives and friends/neighbors. Fighting the misinformation and outright lies is so bloody difficult but it MUST be done. I’m just sayin’…

xkcd nails the “What if…?” scenario. Understocked Can’t we all just get along? I’m just sayin’…

In November of 2007, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm issued an executive order establishing the Michigan Climate Action Council (MCAC). Over the course of the next 16 months, the MCAC, a collection of stakeholders from across the spectrum, developed a 125-page document, the Michigan Climate Action Council Climate Action Plan [.pdf] which contains 53 recommendations for reducing the impacts of climate […]

I’ve been giving a LOT of thought to this whole Birthers thing. I’ve done the research. I’ve read the blogs. I’ve listened to Dobbs. And now, at long last, I’ve reached a conclusion. It’s not one that will be popular with many progressive liberals and other Obama supporters but when the details of the diabolical plot are revealed, I think […]

Unbelievable. Mr Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood.

I can’t believe it. Mr. “GET OFF MY PHOOOO-OOOONE!!!” himself had a moment of lucidity, sanity and understanding on his television show yesterday. Who is this impostor and what have you done with Glenn Beck?! The piece was about Henry Louis Gates. Beck had on David Horowitz who basically blamed the entire episode on Gates himself. Beck actually stood up […]

Mrs. E and I have been organic gardening together for about seven years and recently moved to a new home with an acre of land about three years ago. We now have a very nice garden, 100% organic, lush and productive. We preserve an amazing amount of food from it and, every week of the year, we eat at least […]

You’ll love this. Yesterday Glenn Beck interviewed Michael Scheuer, the former head of the Osama bin Laden unit under Clinton and Bush II. He’s so distraught over the final domino tumbling (60 Democratic Senators in Congress, Yippee!!!) that he wishes the terrorists would attack the USA. “The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin […]

Such good, good news. Norm Coleman did the gracious thing by bowing out after a scant eight fucking months of court challenges. What a righteous dude. Fucker. Watching this makes me feel all better, though. I’m just sayin’…
