I’ve been marveling lately at how totally amazingly awesomely great it is that we finally have grown-ups back in charge in Washington, D.C. Then, during the Conservative Political Action Conference this week, they trotted out this little Alex P. Keaton wannabe: How pathetic is your political party when your most eloquent spokesperson is 13 years old? I thought Sarah Palin […]

I know, I know, “conservative Republicans” is straight out of the Department of Redundancy Department. Forgive me. Anyway, wanna know how to drive one crazy? Show ’em these Gallup poll results: See that last little light green bar there? The one on the far right that says 42%??? That’s his approval rating among REPUBLICANS. They just hate that. I’m just […]

This past week after President Obama gave what can only be called an inspirational speech to Congress and the nation about his agenda for the next four years and beyond, Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal gave the official Republican Response. Before I go on, it should be noted that his performance during this “Response” has been panned by nearly everyone […]

This goes beyond the bounds of political correctness. This is pure and unadulterated RACISM. Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose is finding himself in hot water after sending out this fake photo of watermelons on President Barack Obama’s White House front lawn. Grose’s email included the heading, “No Easter Egg hunt this year.” Here’s the picture: More HERE. Turns out Grose […]

I work in the very conservative Livingston County, Michigan. You may know of the city of Howell because it’s where a former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, Robert Miles, lived for some time. Even recently mysterious pamphlets have shown up in the driveways of Howell residents condemning Tiger Woods for marrying a white woman. Many of coworkers are […]

Frank Rich has a stunningly good editorial today in the New York Times. I highly commend it to your attention. In it, he says something that I’ve been saying for weeks: Barack Obama’s opponents always underestimate him. What’s more, his supporters do as well. AM I crazy, or wasn’t the Obama presidency pronounced dead just days ago? Obama had “all […]

Wow. For the first time in…forever…Joe Scarborough gets it. Totally gets it. SCARBOROUGH: Chuck, it has been a difficult process. We’ve been very critical of the process. It seems sloppy. It seems that the White House has been off their game. … And then we see a poll like the Gallup Poll that came out yesterday that makes me think […]

Not much to add to the spot-on commentary by Rachel Maddow except to say I would add John “the Douchebag” Boehner to her list of Republicans that are intentionally and harmfully standing in the way of America’s recovery by playing partisan politics to the hilt. And then they blame the president for not being “bipartisan”. This is good and the […]

There was a LOT of talk after last year’s Rothbury Festival that it wouldn’t happen again. The guy who owns the ranch where it was held was in all sorts of legal/bankruptcy trouble, etc. But, it looks like things have cleared and Rothbury is ON! If you’d like to read my review of Rothbury, you can find it HERE. My […]

Mrs. E has put together an AMAZING slideshow using her own photos (with a few of mine) and music and recordings we made during our trip. It’s 20 minutes long but I think you’ll enjoy it. Grab a beverage and enjoy… (Click the image below and it will take you to a new page where you’ll need to hit the […]

University of Michigan mechanical engineering professor John Hart has downsized our president. He’s nanosized him, in fact. In the picture below, each Obama face is only 500 microns wide. According to Hart’s website: Each face is made of approximately 150 million tiny carbon nanotubes; that’s about how many Americans voted in the 2008 presidential election. I wonder if the AP […]
