DNC to Arkansas Voters: “F%^& you”

Following West Virginia’s primary vote example, Arkansas voters are fixin’ to deliver a message to the Democratic party today.  Tennessee lawyer, John Wolfe, was running a mere 7 points behind Barack Obama in recent polls of the Democratic presidential primary there. Oh, I know that a lot of people are going to call the voters [...]

Sunday: Taking the Top off the Mountain

Digby wonders why the bankers are whining.  They’ve gotten everything they wanted but they’re all upset that Obama is speaking harshly to them.  So, now they’re going to sit on their money and not give him any for his re-election. Wait!  Why is that a *bad* thing?  If they’re not contributing to his campaign, maybe [...]

{{Facepalm}}

See update below. How many readers out there are or were working mothers who put their kids in daycare after your maternity leave was up?  Keep your hands up while you read this. I guess the guys on the Democratic side of the aisle just can’t wait to get the motherhood crap off their todo [...]

Speechless

I was headed out to the library but I bopped over to Digby’s to see if she’d posted.    She hadn’t but the next young clueless pundit-in-waiting-for-a-paying-gig male who stalks her site had.  I don’t know how you felt about your tax return ordeal yesterday but I was shocked by how much I had paid [...]

Charles Pierce: first high profile blogger to tell it like it is

Charles Pierce got over his astonishment at the current incarnation of the Republican party to write about how truly screwed we are: Not long before, I’d heard Rick Santorum tell a gathering of supporters in New Hampshire of his dread of the possibility of Iran’s gaining a nuclear-weapons capability. He touched upon the destabilization of [...]

Why don’t more women ask the Democrats “What’s in it for us?”

Melissa McKewn at Shakesville wrote a brilliant post four years ago that is even more relevant today.  At the time, the Clintonistas and other deeply concerned feminists were troubled by the use of misogyny by both political parties but particularly the Democrats and even more particularly, the Obama campaign.  Oh, you thought it was only [...]

Wednesday: Family and Medical Leave Act already compromised

I don’t know how I missed this.  It didn’t seem to get the attention that Slutgate got.  On March 21, 2012, the US Supreme Court voided part of the Family and Medical Leave Act, one of the jewels of the Clinton Administration from 1993.  In a 5-4 decision, the Court has decided that states can [...]

Pick a side, Digby

One more time, with feeling: and Back when the 2008 primary season started to heat up, DailyKos purged its Hillary Clinton supporters.  Oh, yes it did, you doubting Thomasinas.  You can’t believe that a “news site” like DailyKos would be involved in hurrying them off the site as quickly as it possibly could to make [...]

The War on Women: More shots to our hearts

Here’s the other video from 2008 from youtubers Shut the Freud Up.  This one covered a different controversy and highlights two very prominent Democrats: Ahhh, yes, you can’t make this stuff up, folks.  That was the week where Donna Brazile called us the “old coalition” and made it sound like we couldn’t speak without drooling [...]

International Women’s Day and Chellie Pingree

Gotta make this quick because I have a lot of driving to do today. Today is International Women’s Day.  I know, I know, it seems like it comes earlier and earlier every year. So, what did America get for its women this year?  We’re all of 17% of the Senate, which is, by the way, [...]
