I’m here at Netroots Nation waiting for Bill Clinton’s speech to begin. I’ve got pretty good seats, so I should be able to see well. CSPAN is here so perhaps you’ll catch a glimpse of me on TV. CSPAN is covering the speech live. Chuck Rocha rocked the house! Great speaker. Judd Ligum(?) from Think […]

“For one thing, Republicans don’t do well when they’re out of power, especially after an extended period of being in power. Ask Jimmy Carter. Ask Bill Clinton. Democrats try to figure out a way to make it work when there’s a Republican president. Republicans just try to figure out how to f*ck shit up when the executive’s a Democrat. These approaches do not go together.”

Bold Double Prediction: A Mike Protack loss to Christine O’Donnell & A Christine O’Donnell Loss to Beau Biden

Filed in National by on August 13, 2009 14 Comments

It is so clear to me now. Castle is not running. The moment that announcement is made Protack will announce that he is running in a primary against O’Donnell. Rather than run into a wall of incoherent wingnut rage, Copeland will sit out and hope for the GOP to right itself in time for 2012. […]

Interesting… On paper, I was ready for my ride into the sunset. I had a nice Ivy League engineering degree, a wonderfully supportive family, some coins in my pocket. My transition to the other side was supposed to be smooth sailing to blissful relaxation. But I didn’t really know much about this world I was […]

Special Guest post for Twin Lakes Charity Event…

Ladies and Gentlemen Joanne Christian: What do Bob Marley, Frank McCourt, and Jim Johnson have in common? All notable in their respective fields of music, sports and literature–and all have died from melanoma.

A Step Closer

While we sit back and watch our national and local conservative opposition lie with no conscience in the healthcare debate (hey, David Anderson, would Jesus lie?), the good news comes in small doses, just enough to sustain us.
