Alternating… »

Between being furious, and wanting to throw up, with the gamut of emotions in between. Why? Because I cannot get out of my head the photos of those young (and not so young) people, men and women, wearing “Sarah Palin Is A C–t” t-shirts at a Philly rally this weekend. Honestly, I […]

On The Economy »

There have been some complaints that not enough is being written on the Economy, and that there is too much focus on Obama’s shady past. True enough, the stock market hasn’t been looking too good this past week. Or the week before that. Or even the week before that one.
But […]

Republican Voters Aren’t The Only Ones Who Are Mad As Hell »

GOP Anger Unleashed At McCain Rallies, filed by Michael D. Shear and Perry Bacon Jr. of WaPo, and reported in CBS News today, makes clear some Republicans have little patience left for the Gentleman Jim approach that McCain took at the Convention.
What this story does not mention, however – and what no mainstream […]

What Rev. Martin Luther King Stood For and What Obama Hasn’t Got »

(Bumped up by SusanUnPC because this very important and moving essay by Ani got lost in a flurry of posts the day it was originally posted in late September, and it deserves our attention and our comments. Thank you, Ani, for writing such a compelling and important story, and I’m very pleased to post […]

Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington with Johnny Mac and Why Obama/Biden Leave Me Cold »

Last night Sarah Palin showed she could hold her own with a 36-year veteran of the Senate. I’m sure she was a bit nervous – who wouldn’t be – after only five weeks on the national stage. The pressure for her to hit it out of the park must have been excruciating. […]

Please God, We Need a Bailout From Nancy Pelosi »

(bumped up by SusanUnPC with an additional note at the end from Andy, one of our sharpest readers)
Look, we can all quibble about the Bailout Bill that just tanked in Congress. I’m sure that we can comb through the provisions and find something we don’t like. Well, welcome to real life. Most bills passed […]

Some C.S. on the Emergency Bill »

My neighbor, with some input from me, penned this letter to our senators and representative today:
Please participate in rescuing our economy. I realize you are being deluged by angry people who object to the “bailout” but the results of NOT acting are so dire that we need you to act courageously on this. […]

Alcee Hastings loses his right to call others bigoted »

Remember Alcee Hastings? He’s a US Representative from FL who was impeached when a federal judge and subsequently voted into Congress (HOW does that happen?). Need a reminder? During a trial for bribery and perjury, Hastings was acquitted after a co-conspirator refused to testify.
From Wikipedia:
In 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives […]

Dick Shelby of Alabama Strolled Out
Late this afternoon, after the markets closed, after the big pow-wow at the White House called by President Bush to confront the market crisis, Dick Shelby (R) strolled out onto the White House […]

Holding the DNC’s Feet to the Fire: An Interview with Marc Rubin of The Denver Group »

In the face of some powerful Democratic fundraisers/supporters of Senator Clinton and even Democratic legislators now boldly endorsing Senator McCain, it is clear that the wheels may be coming off the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Dean/Brazile bandwagon. That people would abjectly refuse to support the Presidential nominee and, you should pardon the expression, start batting for the other […]
