This one made the Recommended List on the Daily Kos for about 10 hours today. When I got up this morning and my iPhone AP app was telling me that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize, and I just knew that heads were asplodin’ with great ferocity over in Freeperville (the conservative-and-then-some Free Republic.) And I was NOT […]

I got the latest RNC push-poll yesterday via my friends at the Washington Times. Although they don’t come right out and ask if you hate America, they might as well. The questions are classic push-poll fodder and give us yet another glimpse at how the Republicans shape the national dialog and spread fear, misconceptions and out-right lies. My favorite one […]

I somehow managed to get on the Washington Times email list at work. I suspect one of my conservative bags of douchewater signed me up. Today I got an email from one of their advertisers: Below, please find a message from one of our advertisers, Tea Party Express. Periodically, we receive opportunities we believe you may want to learn about. […]

Michigan leads the nation in unemployment. Our businesses are closing their doors, our food banks are running out of food and our workers are facing firings, layoffs and, when they actually keep their jobs, many, like me and all of my coworkers, face wage cuts. The Republican Senate Majority Leader’s answer? “…create an environment where…labor costs are low…” Oh sure. […]

All photos except the first one by Anne Savage. Visit her website, Flickr Page, and blog. October 3, 2009, the Washtenaw County Democratic Party held its annual dinner. Three U.S. Congressmen were in attendance. The first was freshman Representative Mark Schauer, a young, vibrant and optimistic Congressman. The second was Representative John Dingell, the longest-serving member in Congress today and […]

The chairman of the state party, the county party, all of the honorable elected officials, all of you wonderful, smart, beautiful and handsome Democrats. I must just […]

This is just effed. You wanna know what generates the most traffic on this site? It’s from the raunchy picture found in a blog entry I did during the campaign last year called “Cindy McCain Gone Wild!!!” It shows two women in a sexually-explicit position (clothed but simulating…stuff) who are participating in the Miss Buffalo Chip “beauty pageant” at the […]

From the Washington Times: [House Minority Whip Eric] Cantor said Mr. Obama initially asked for Republican help on health care, but Republicans have heard nothing since they offered their ideas. “No matter what the cry is from the White House, no matter what the president claims, they have not engaged with us,” he said. “The White House at this point […]

And we don’t want to be happy. So says Rush Limbaugh. Oh, and by the way? Nobody is dying because they don’t have health care insurance, despite evidence to the contrary I’m just sayin’…

Today is the day that Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer will release the Senate version of the so-called Cap-and-Trade bill, their version of the bill Representatives Waxman and Markey got passed in the House earlier this year. And, surprise, surprise (really!), it’s stronger than the House bill. The Washington Post got a sneak peak at a nearly-completed version of […]

Cross-posted at Daily Kos. I watched the first installment of the gloriously filmed and narrated Ken Burns series “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” last night. As a major supporter of the National Parks system, I have been eagerly awaiting this since I first learned of it. NOTE: Here’s a link to last night’s episode HERE. From taking my four-year […]
