I came across a press release put out today by the Republican Study Commission. It’s titled “10 Questions for the President on Health Care” and in it is a list of questions for President Obama on his plans to reform the healthcare system. I expected them to dumb. That’s what the Goposaurs are best at these days. And they were, […]

First it was tire gauges. Then it was tea bags. And now it’s candles. Really, the Republicans desperately need to hire some good PR people because their messaging lately has been positively comical. Cap-and-Trade Candles? Really? Cap-and-Trade Candles. Really. …the RNC sent a candle to House members this morning with a note attached. “If Democrats pass ‘Cap and Tax,’ this […]

Ya gotta dig this. Swiss Chard from our garden as only my wife could portray it. Awesome. I’m just sayin’…

That pretty much sums up my opinion of the people that run the biggest health insurance companies. Watch this video. It’s testimony from some of these evil reeking piles of greed and dishonesty. If it cuts into their profits, you can be damned sure they’re going to find a way to cut off your insurance. If for no other reason […]

Honestly it’s like Karl Rove and Fox News people don’t realize there’s this system of tubes called The InternetsTM or something… But, wait! That’s not all! I’m just sayin’…

“The protests in Iran show the neocons were right” Hard to believe, isn’t it? After all the discussion about how the neocons wanted Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to win the election in Iran last week (like HERE and HERE, e.g.), turns out that’s not the case at all. According to The Times‘ neocon-in-residence Daniel Finkelstein in his article Fancy that. They want […]

There’s a metaphor in here somewhere… I’m just sayin’…

Dang. It’s been a looo-ooong time since I posted. In the past 6 weeks I’ve been to British Columbia three times and to Edmonton, Alberta as well, usually for four days at a crack. That on top of household chores, our enormous garden and, for the first time in way too long, a social life, I haven’t had time to […]

Say what you want. If President Obama and his administration are picking people like this to handle things, we’re in damn good shape. Watch all 10 minutes. It’ll restore your faith that the grown-ups have taken charge. The Republicans are sooooo wishing they had people this smart to represent them. They don’t. I’m just sayin’…

The National Journal released a poll today that shows that 93% of Democrats (or is that Democrat Socialists?) and 57% of Republicans believe that “Dick” Cheney has hurt the Republican party since leaving office. The mistake that is made is to see this as unintentional and to accept “Dick” Cheney as part of a political landscape in which you are […]

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos. RealtyTrac today is reporting that foreclosures in America set a record in April. Foreclosure filings in the U.S. rose to a record for the second consecutive month in April as banks increased efforts to seize homes from delinquent borrowers. A total of 342,038 properties received a default or auction notice or were seized last month, […]
