The List II: Michele Bachmann

Share

Everybody knows someone like Michele Bachmann. The “Tall Tale” teller, the “Everyone’s out to get you” paranoid, or the Bible-thumper that throws a screaming hissy-fit if you dare challenge their beliefs. But how many of us know all-three rolled into one? Long-time readers know I can’t refer to Michele Bachmann without the obligatory “BSC*” suffix after […]

The List II: Newt Gingrich

Share

This weeks “List” tackles former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. I’ve made no secret of my distaste for the former Speaker over the years. In fact, among all the GOP candidates, I don’t think I have a more visceral dislike of anyone more than “Professor” Newt Gingrich. Even BSC* Michele Bachmann and Rick “Don’t Google My Name” Santorum, who […]

Was Perry’s “jobs plan” really only his “energy policy”? No one seems to know. And with good reason.

Share

On Friday, the Perry campaign released a copy of the candidate’s “Jobs Plan”… or did he? No one seems to be able to agree on that one simple point. The Perry website (no link. You know where) still refers to it as a “plan to create 1.2 million jobs”. Fox News Sunday yesterday referred to it as his […]

ACTION ALERT: 5,000 SIGNATURES for “Green Jobs Tomorrow Fast and Cheap”.

Share

ACTION ALERT The White House announced on September 1st that they “will consider any petition that gets 5,000 signatures”. So I dashed off the following petition: Green jobs TOMORROW, fast & cheap. Here’s how. The fiction that “tax cuts create jobs” needs to be put to bed once and for all. After ten years of […]

The Failure of Success. The success of failure.

Share

As I type this, Hurricane Irene is battering the Northeastern coast, leaving 15 35 people dead and more than a million homes without power. Governors of BOTH parties have been praising the response of FEMA… who was already dealing with the rare East coast earthquake from the week before. And in the middle of this mess, GOP Presidential […]

A Little Ignorance Can Do a LOT of Damage.

Share

Every once in a while, I get into an online “argument” with some Teabagging idiot that thinks that I’m a clueless moron that’s out to destroy the country (I reposted once such conversation last April). But after just one or two exchanges, it is clear that everything they know about the world they learned listening […]

Obama says “Get serious” about oil with energy plan that’s anything but.

Share

On Wednesday, President Obama delivered his much anticipated Energy Policy speech, telling listeners that it was time to ‘get serious’ about our dependence on foreign oil. So, just what is the Obama Administration’s idea of “getting serious”? Reducing our current “11 million barrels a day” of oil imports “by one-third” by 2025. I don’t know about […]

Understanding “Global Warming” in 30 seconds.

Share

Happy New Year! You may have noticed that precious little attention has been paid to the subject of “Global Climate Change” since the Obama Administration took office. A few minor policies here and there. But where is that desperately needed “Green Jobs Program” when unemployment is pushing 10% and the nations weather patterns are going […]

April Fools? Obama opens drilling to draw GOP votes. Will he ever learn?

Share

At first I thought, “This has to be an April Fool’s Day joke.” Last Wednesday, in a move that has infuriated environmentalists and most Democrats, President Obama announced that he would end a longstanding moratorium on offshore drilling off the South East coast and in Northern Alaska (red states) in advance of the upcoming vote […]

Putting the “Snowpocalypse” into perspective with maps

Share

Recently, the Right-Wing echo chamber has been in a lather over record snowfall in the American North East, suggesting that it is “proof” of the nonexistence of “Global Warming”. Last week, I noted how famed Conservatives Sen. Jim Inhoff (R-OK), Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin are all giddy over how foolish […]

Go ahead and laugh Republicans, but record snowfall IS from Global Warming.

Share

Just a quicky. The North East is currently suffering its THIRD blizzard in two months. Giddy conservative Global Warming deniers like Jim Inhofe (R-OK) were photographed building an “igloo” in his front yard with his grandchildren, mockingly calling it “Al Gore’s new home.” Sean Hannity of Fox “News” claimed on his show Monday night that […]
