You Can Run, But You Can’t Hyde!

Mawm and I paid a visit to the Obamas today.  We were hoping that Michelle might invite us in for tea.  Unfortunately, we were instead met by some burly security officials who told us to “keep on moving”.  You know, I understand that security for these guys is important, but I used to live in [...]

Misogyny: It’s Not Just For Hillary Anymore.

Remember when we began, PUMAs? Remember when we used to frequent the blogs like The Cheeto, The Big Blue, HuffPo and AmericaBlog? Remember how we used to think Air America was actually liberal, instead of a bought-and-paid-for 24-hour orgy of Hillary Hatred?
I know it’s painful to think about now, but remember when you tried to [...]

The Power of Narratives

The incomparable Bob Somerby at Daily Howler often talks about narratives.  His background in teaching is apparent because he repeats his lessons over and over until they sink in.  Some people never learn.
Although Somerby’s focus is on the media and the way they make up stories to force Democratic candidates into their preconceived narratives, that [...]

Creating a Refuge

When Riverdaughter created The Confluence she said:
The picture in the header is of the convergence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers to form the Ohio at The Point in downtown Pittsburgh. It seems like an apt metaphor for bringing the divided together again. We will start with the Democratic party and then work to bring [...]

People Get Ready: Hurricane Gustav

Conflucians, I am posting something that Katmoon wrote in the comments yesterday:
And….
ssued by the Red Cross 45 minutes ago:
WASHINGTON, Aug 30, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ — As mandatory and voluntary evacuations force Gulf Coast residents to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Gustav, the American Red Cross encourages everyone affected by the storm to prepare before evacuating.

Dean Democrat Bloggers: the new prudes

I’ve been hearing a lot about how diarists at the Big Orange Cheeto and Americablog are digging into Palin’s past.  Like, was her first child conceived out of wedlock?  Was her 5th child really hers or was it her daughter’s?  Is she just covering up for her wayward teen?  Well, it [...]

Sunday: It was your name, DNC

I am very disappointed that some of our best and brightest bloggers do not understand the source of our resistance.  They seem to think this is all about Hillary.  On the contrary, we made it clear to Hillary’s campaign back in June before her suspension speech that the resistance to Obama [...]

Actually? I’m glad I don’t have to explain this

Bumped: Everyone should view these videos.
Because some things are just beyond reason. The title of this video is Foul Don Fowler Amused by New Orleans Hurricane.

And Michael Moore thinks it’s funny too.

Full Disclosure

In keeping with Murphy’s warning that everything in our sordid little lives is about to be exposed, I thought I’d get out in front of it all now:
Arrests: None; Speeding tickets: none; DUI: none; traffic violations: a couple, usually involving young, stupid drivers in an accident prone area (when it’s your turn to go, GO!  [...]

Scratching Post Saturday Night – Democracy is more important than my LadyParts

 

We are the ones no one was expecting, and boy are they pissed.  Our votes are PRIME REAL ESTATE – but if the O-borg, particularly Joe Conason from the New York Observer, keeps writing stuff like this, what makes you think we’re voting for “Mr. Yes He Can’t?”
To take her at her word — as those who constantly proclaim [...]
