Freepers, Birthers, Morons of all stripe, You didn’t get mad…

The following excellent viral email has been making the rounds for a few weeks now and deserves a link you can direct your friends to. The source of the original message is unknown. I have revised it slightly, corrected a few mistakes, added a couple of lines of my own, and added supporting links. Freepers, […]

The “Blame America First” Crowd.

After the Health Care Reform Act passed last week, unhinged Tea-Baggers went on a rampage, trashing the offices of Democratic leaders, blurting profanities and racial slurs, and then claiming that they were being framed by Democrats (no, I’m not kidding). One visitor to my latest YouTube video documenting the outbreak of violence following passage of […]

Health care bill passes (but I may never eat sausage again).

Hooray! History was made Sunday night as the House passed the (ugly) Senate health care reform bill, as well as the “Reconciliation” bill to strip out all the ugly stuff. The first bill goes to President Obama to sign while the Reconciliation bill goes back to the Senate for them to agree to the changes […]

Time traveling with Karl Rove and the Bush Rehabilitation Crew

A little secret about me: I love time travel movies. Time After Time, Time Rider, Frequency, Back to the Future, and even JCVD’s TimeCop. I love imagining what might happen if one could travel into the past and change events in the future. But one thing I absolutely DESPISE are people who try to rewrite history by lying about […]

The Party of NO claims mantle of bipartisanship

More often than you might think, I’ll start off writing the weeks blog entry, only to end up writing something else entirely. This is one of those weeks. This particular blog entry started off noting the eerie similarities between the dramatic rise in Right Wing extremism and the very people they claim to hate: Muslim […]

GOP: The Party of Lawlessness. Four Decades of Criminal Behavior.

I‘m probably not telling you anything that hasn’t crossed your mind already, but sometimes we just need to say things out loud for them to sink in: For all their talk about “patriots” and “love of America”, the GOP really HAS become a party with a total lack of respect for the law (apologies to […]

The Amazing Mugsy’s Predictions for 2010.

Okay, maybe calling myself “The Amazing Mugsy” is a bit of a stretch. So sue me. It’s the final Monday of the first decade of the new millennium (though technically, 2000 was the last year of the 20th Century). Every year at this time, I like to pause to make my predictions for the coming […]

A Dickens of a Mistake: Plot hole in “A Christmas Carol”?

Ebenezer Scrooge never knew the son of his sole employee, Bob Cratchit, was seriously ill. It wasn’t until Scrooge learned that Tiny Tim might actually die unless he did something to help, that he was actually willing to forego some of his personal wealth to help save the life of a sick child. When Charles Dickens […]

Fox wants to make it harder to fact-check them. Plus video: Bush on trying terrorists

About a month ago, the Obama Administration admitted what we all knew: that Fox News was a mouth-piece for the Republican Party. Fox “News” was SHOCKED, SHOCKED I SAY that the White House might think they were anything but “fair & balanced”. But dutiful bloggers like myself, with the most cursory of online digging (a […]

Wilson’s “Lie” reveals GOP wants untenable Citizenship test for healthcare.

Everyone has heard by now “the heckle heard round the world”: Rep. Joe Wilson’s astoundingly disrespectful outburst calling the President of the United States a liar before a televised joint session of Congress Wednesday. But that incident is only half the story. What Wilson was referring to is the other. While there are five draft […]

Global Warming will mean FEWER mid-Summer hurricanes, not more.

(It appears I need to forewarn new readers that the purpose of this weeks column is to highlight the potential for great damage to the environmental message by arguing a misconception as “fact”, and then having to listen to Conservatives use that assumption against you when it doesn’t come true. To be forewarned is to […]
