Rick Santorum thinks you should be supporting Sarah Palin. ‘Cause, you know, you have vaginas and stuff. Sarah Palin is the Clarence Thomas for feminists. The civil rights community, the African-American community obviously should have rallied behind Clarence Thomas an his achievement, but they hammered him because he was a conservative. And the civil rights establishment was first and foremost […]

Josh Marshall over at TPM ‘schplains things about the so-called “Bridge to Nowhere”: That’s just beautiful. More like this, please. I’m just sayin’…

I am quite afraid that this is one of series of blog entries on the lies being told by the McCain campaign right now. It’s out of control and, lo and behold, it actually looks like the media might actually call them on it this time. Hallelujah. Here’s CNN’s Paul Begala calling “bullshit!” on Sarah Palin’s ridiculous assertions that she’s […]

I walked into the local Democratic Party offices last night, on a day of disappointing national poll numbers for the Obama campaign, prepared to see a team of sullen phone-bankers. Boy, was I wrong. Rather than being dejected about McCain’s poll bump, our volunteers were more excited than ever to talk to undecided voters. Because mixed in with the news […]

…You call it more of the same. Awesome ad from the Obama campaign. My wife and I have decided to make up new bumperstickers that say: Being Out of Touch Doesn’t Make You a Maverick. Absolutely stunning editorial by Frank Rich of the New York Times this week. Lots and lots of money quotes. Here’s a choice selection. We still […]

Aren’t those virulently uber-right wing Freepers a charming bunch?

I have a black kitty so this is especially cute to me. Stay with it until the end. The expression on the kitten’s face when he’s sitting on the carpet by the door is priceless. Kitten Vs RC Mouse @ Yahoo! Video I’m just sayin’…

Are they just too stupid to realize the irony in so much of what they do? Does the McPalin campaign not understand the concept or are they simply too Goddamn dumb? I don’t get it. Ms. Palin was speaking at an airport rally that drew thousands of wildly enthusiastic people in Colorado Springs, rock solid Republican territory, where the crowd […]

The McCain campaign has been gleefully deriding the Obama campaign for reputedly throwing away tens of thousands of small American flags from their convention. Fox News was on the scene to make sure this trip got wide circulation “The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there,” Fox News reported, “and they […]

“I mean, c’mon! They must think you’re stupid!” Actually, I’m pretty sure they do… He also said of Sarah Palin: “Don’t be fooled,” Obama told the crowd surrounding him in a large barn. “John McCain’s party, with the help of John McCain, has been in charge” for nearly eight years. “I know the governor of Alaska has been saying she’s […]

Today’s quote comes from a person who had just visited the Rwandan Genocide Museum and was uttered earlier this year (in February.) A clear lesson I learned in the museum was that outside forces that tend to divide people up inside their country are unbelievably counterproductive. In other words, people came from other countries — I guess you’d call them […]
