Wednesday News

Good Morning Conflucians!! The big news of the day is still the big sell-out job Obama did. Well, I say sell-out because that’s what the (until recently) Obama fanclub for idiots call it. Of course we all know Obama is doing what he planned to do and what he wants to do. Giving the ultra [...]

Robbing Peter to pay Paul because Buffy and Biff need a new Yacht

It is too early in the morning for this crap but here it is, splashed all over the NYTimes: Tax Deal Suggests a New Path for Obama.  Bull$@%#.  This is the same old Obama. I can imagine how the “negotiations” with Republicans went: O: We need more stimulus. GOP: And that affects us…how? O: Money’s [...]

Tuesday Morning: Not holding my breath

It happened years before I was born but, I can’t post today’s news without at least a passing reference to The Day Which Will Live in Infamy: Beacon lighting ceremony commemorates day that will live in infamy A group of Pearl Harbor survivors will gather on Mt. Diablo Tuesday at 3:45 p.m. to commemorate the [...]

Compromise (and we get?)

As Blue Lyon put it: Obama’s Mad Negotiating Skilz Okay, so the whole package is going to cost $900 billion over the next two years, but only about $220 billion of that goes to working class people. Do I have this right? I need someone to do the big math for me, but I fail [...]

Monday: The Awakening is Very Rude

I lived with my grandmother for some short stretches of time when I was a kid.  I had a tiny little bedroom tucked under the eaves with a window that overlooked the woods adjacent to the house.  Every night, my gran would turn down my bed and send me comfortably off to sleep.  And then, [...]

When Fear Is All Around You

Kevin Drum has a new article up at Mother Jones that is, in my opinion, worth reading. Actually, I’m not 100% sure it’s worth reading because I was too lazy to do anything but skim through it, but I got the general idea. Basically, the National Park Service wants to bring a higher level of [...]

Sunday News – Science Section

The regular news is just to irritating with Obama working hard to cut Social Security benefits, surprise, surprise, among other things. So I thought I’d focus on just the science section of the TC paper today. Oh, and I’m horribly late due to getting back late from an away game (i.e., meetings, yuk), and sleeping [...]

Fairness, Dignity, Respect: Conducting Subversion in Public

I have read a lot of Woe is Us comments and posts around the web in response to Anglachel’s excellent post, Hillary is not Going to Save Us. “We are doomed.  We should just accept Obama’s Reign of Error and unopposed primary run in 2012.  We should get used to our batshit crazy Republican overlords. [...]

In re Sarah Palin

Anytime I post ANYTHING having to do with Sarah Palin or one of her progeny I always seem to see two typical responses along with whatever other comments are made. The first one is some version of “Zomg! Sarah Palin is a conservative Republican and I would never vote for her.” Sometimes the commenter leaves [...]
