I have to give Joanne Christian some credit for meeting with me last week. I’m a Democratic blogger who has made no bones out of the fact that Republicans start off with a serious handicap with me based entirely on the fact that they are members of an organization that has turned this country into […]

The GOP-ification of the Military

Filed in National by on October 28, 2007 3 Comments

When historians catalogue the myriad of sins that Bush inflicted on this country, the politicization and outright GOP-ification of our once great military will be high on the list. Sad when you think about it.

You have to be stone cold stupid to “play” slot machines. If you are thinking about “playing” consider giving me $100.00 and I’ll give you $95.00. That is a much better deal than they give you at Dover Downs where they only let you “win” $91.00 for every $100.00 that you “gamble.”

Once close to 90 percent, the president’s approval rating among white evangelicals has fallen to a recent low below 45 percent, according to polls by the Pew Research Center. White evangelicals under 30 — the future of the […]

I saw that JC sign swining in the breeze on my way home from work on Thursday. Do you mean to tell me that someone took it down in stages? Use more tie wraps next time and they might hold up to the weather better.

House Judiciary Committee: Know Thy E-Mail Client

Filed in Uncategorized by on October 27, 2007 3 Comments

As a geek, I hate stories like this.  The House Judiciary Committee wanted to send out an email to all of the anonymous tipsters in the DoJ US Attorneys scandal to tell them how much of a premium they are putting on their anonymity.  They didn’t want them to think that there was any way […]

Although my hatred has cooled off a bit recently, you may know that I’m an old time Frightland hater. It isn’t just Frightland. I hate Halloween, and I hated it befor anyone thought that it was cool to hate on Halloween. But I don’t hate it for all of the right-wing reasons to hate it […]

It looks like there is a problem with the Indian River Inlet Bridge that will cause it to be scrapped before it has been completed. Carolann Wickes should be ashamed of herself.

Pretend FEMA Press Conference. Just what you’d expect from this pretend Government

Filed in National by on October 26, 2007 5 Comments

Now people who work in your US government pose as reporters and lob pre-planned softballs at Agency heads. Granted it is not very different from having members of the lap dog press do it, but still… Shameless does nt begin to describe this administration.
