Why Crediting Bush for OBL’s capture is dead wrong
If you’re like me, you just spent the better part of the past week listening to Right-wingers dismiss President Obama’s great achievement of finally getting Osama bin Laden, and give most of the credit to President Bush. Their arguments for doing so are filled with wingnut torture fantasies and baseless assumptions, not a single one of which holds [...]
The Sin of O’Mission
Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: I’m a supporter of President Obama. And if he is the DNC nominee in 2012, I will be voting for him… a tad reluctantly, I will admit. But he will have my vote. With that being said, few (real) Democrats have frustrated me the way President Obama has. During [...]
If it all weren’t so sad, it’d be funny. On second thought, this IS funny.
There are so many other topics I considered writing about this week. Topic Idea #1: Under GOP rule, the state of Arizona is rapidly becoming the worlds largest insane asylum. First it was the racist/xenophobic “Papers please” anti-immigration bill, followed by the AZ-GOP “Death Panel” that decided a new for-profit, privately run prison system was more important [...]
Republican Deficit Hypocrisy
Few things in this world demonstrate the stark difference between Democrats and clueless, fiscally-insane Republicans than the issue of The National Debt. Of course, if you live in Republican BizzaroWorld, it’s the Democrats that are the fiscally irresponsible ones while it’s Republicans fighting the good fight to return us to fiscal sanity. Republicans are busy [...]
Special Edition: A Tale of Two Fake Interviews: Walker vs. Schiller
Last month, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker got “punked” by a Buffalo, NY radio morning-show host pretending to be billionaire Conservative activist “David Koch”. And yesterday, Conservative slam-journalist and convicted felon James O’Keefe posted a hidden-camera video interview with National Public Radio’s Senior VP Ron Schiller and Senior Director of Giving Betsy Liley. The video, shot last [...]
Quick vid: Teabagger morons bussed in to counter protest in Wisconsin
Last Sunday, ABC World News Tonight covered the Union Protests in Wisconsin, and followed it up with… what I’m certain they believed was… a “balanced” comparison of two people on either side of the protest. The first, a teabagger being bussed in from 110 miles away (by whom, ABC never says), the second, a teacher who [...]
The Mind of a Conservative: a personal aside
I am pleased to announce that there are no more “Republicans” in the state of Texas. None. Nada. Zip… at least, not among the general public. The governor, Rick “Good Hair” Perry is a Teabagger that has become a national embarrassment every time he opens his mouth with talk of “succession”, and the Texas state Legislature [...]
Arizona shooting tells us nothing… and everything
(Note: Apologies to subscribers that received a notification of a three year old post on the 2008 election. Notification was due to an error on my part after referencing it below. Sorry. – Mugsy) The shooting of 19 20 people during a public appearance of Arizona Congresswoman Rep. Gabrielle Giffords by a mentally unbalanced [...]
Conservatives just discovering concerns Democrats had for decades
Living in Texas (a purpleish red-state), I talk to a lot of Conservatives… be they friends or family… on a near daily basis. And while I know I’m on solid footing when it comes to my positions, the Conservatives in my life certainly do a great job of keeping me honest. Over Thanksgiving, one could [...]
Don’t Be Surprised If Democrats Don’t Lose Big
Two wars that weren’t paid for. Huge tax cuts for the rich that weren’t paid for. TARP bailout that wasn’t paid for. Medicare Part-D that wasn’t paid for. Then they point and say, “Look at this huge deficit Obama created!” For months now, the “fact” that Democrats “will lose big” this election has been repeated [...]
Conservative Halloween Costume Ideas.
After last weeks massive list of 101 Examples (not “Reasons”, which anyone can make up, but actual physical “examples”) to not allow Republicans to regain control of Congress, I was sorely tempted to do a follow up, with even more examples of Republicans calling to privatise… not only Medicare and Social Security, but the V.A., and the fact [...]
Tea Party nominees are Evangelical nuts with no economic solutions
The Tea Party appears to be scoring some major victories in the Republican Primaries this year, challenging & defeating a series of Republican incumbents across the country… not via mass popular appeal, but thanks to heavy Teanut turnout matched with anemic GOP turnout on Primary Day in races that attracted on average fewer than 19% [...]
