Two Weeks Ago they were asking, “Where’s the oil?”

Share

Three weeks after the April 20th explosion on the “Deepwater Horizon” oil drilling platform 26 miles out to sea in the Gulf of Mexico, the deluge of oil pouring into the waters had yet to reach the coast. Partly because it had so far to travel, and partly because BP was permitted (for no rational […]

Good Republican. Bad Republican.

Share

So which do you want first? “Good Republicans” are as rare as four leaf clovers, while “Bad Republicans” are as common as three-leaf clovers in a dung-filled cow pasture. So let’s start with the good: First, I feel vindicated in my support of Robert Gates for Secretary of Defense. I took some flack from more […]

OKC bombing 15 years later. Comparing today’s hysteria to 1995.

Share

Last week, at an event commemorating the 15th anniversary of the bombing of the “Murrah Federal Building” in Oklahoma City, former President Clinton compared the violent extremist rhetoric coming out of the “Tea Party” movement to the violent extremist rhetoric we heard coming out of the “militia” movement of the early 1990’s. Naturally, Republicans were […]

If Obama were a Republican, they’d be singing his praises by now.

Share

I am NOT one of those people that thinks President Obama is a “closet Republican”, nor a full-blown Conservative. I lump people who say things like that in the same group of Tea-nuts that call President Bush “a Liberal” (yes, those people really are out there), and those who, during the 2008 presidential campaign, called […]

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.

Share

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 […]

They said it would be Armageddon. Was that a warning or a threat?

A brief follow up. Despite childish Republicans wasting the taxpayer’s time and money by calling for 23 separate votes on nuisance changes to the Reconciliation bill (like changing the date on certain pages) before it could come up for a vote, the Senate toiled late into the night voting to “fix” the problems with the […]

Rove’s faulty memory on Iraqi oil revenues funding reconstruction. A Quick List.

Share

Iraq War Anniversary Edition Last week on Meet the Press, Karl Rove made the following astounding assertion: “No one in the Bush Administration ever said the reconstruction of Iraq could be paid for with Iraqi oil revenues.” Really? Are you F-ing kidding me? That little bit of revisionist history may fly with your neo-Conservative buddies, […]

Time traveling with Karl Rove and the Bush Rehabilitation Crew

Share

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

Share

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 […]

What Are They Trying to Tell Us?

Someone pointed out something on the radio Monday morning that I hadn’t noticed before… What’s wrong with these photos:   Here’s a hint:   Still not getting it? How about now:   Do you think this has anything to do with it?   Still don’t believe it? Check out the GOP website and see for […]
