Sunday News Roundup

Good morning Conflucians!! It’s been an interesting week in congress. Well, not if you’re one of the many who are leaving or the many who are being squeezed between your constituents not wanting the horrible healthcare reform insurance big bonanza giveaway and Nancy and Obama wanting your soul for pennies on the dollar. I think perhaps [...]

Open Thread: President Obama Caught Lip-Synching Speech

From The Onion:

Message to Democrats: Don’t mess with us

I’m not sure that Democrats are getting the message.  They still think there is no place for us to go.  It’s either them or Republicans and we know that the Republicans are morally bankrupt.  Lately, we’ve seen that moral bankruptcy extends to the other party as well.  Two recent communiques stand out for me in [...]

Lazy Saturday News and Views

Good Morning, Conflucians!! My cold or flu or whatever it is has gotten worse than it was yesterday, so this will be a short post. And if it’s full of typos, I apologize for that too. I plan to spend today like I did yesterday, reading a trashy mystery novel, and dozing off from time [...]

Friday Morning News and Views

Good Morning, Conflucians!!! TGIF! I haven’t been feeling that great. I don’t know if it’s a cold or flu, but I’ve been a little out of it for the past few days. I got home from my morning classes yesterday and went right to bed. I slept through a good part of the afternoon, and [...]

Eric Massa

I met Eric Massa in Las Vegas in 2006 at the first YearlyKos convention.  He was milling around the lobby of the Riviera, trying to round up people to walk down the street to the tackiest bar you’ve ever seen for a drink.  I thought he was buying.  As we sat in the faux fur [...]

Thursday, State of the News Report

I’m totally thrown off by the light change (if it’s light, GET UP!) and by the fact that I have a job of sorts. I’ve been working non-stop on a friend’s website (and I mean I’ve been working on it from the second I get up until well after mid-night with short-ish break in the [...]

Wednesday Morning: The first Jewish President?

Hi guys, I have a bit of time this morning to add to SOD’s quicky.  So, let’s get to it. I found this clip of Al Franken at Susie’s place.  He makes an excellent case for sticking to your principles especially when it comes to supporting American working families.  At the same time, he tears [...]

It’s Hump Day…a Quickie and then off to work! Morning OPEN THREAD

Healthcare, jobs bills, Bunnings, Perry v Hutchinson, Rahmbo, blah blah blah. I don’t know about you but it feels like Groundhog Day every day. Same thing, they’re doing this…they’re doing nothing…bipartisan…partisan…yakkity yakkity yak. Spare me the pain T-Pyxidis! Is there any good news out there? Feel free to chime in with your favorite news stories [...]

Monday Morning News and Views

Good Morning Conflucians!! It’s Monday again. It sounds kind of funny to call this a slow news day with everything that is going on. Of course the earthquake in Chile is still big news. Troops in Chile are trying to prevent thirsty or starving people from “looting” grocery stores in order to survive. According to [...]
