Friday: Found in the spam filter

In case there is any doubt that the left has a serious problem with women, I thought I would share this stinky piece of spam I found in our spam filter this morning. The person who wrote this is too stupid to even think of a clever username.  He (it has to be a he) [...]

Thursday: Stupid MBA Tricks

Who here is sick of all Palin all the time?  Raise your hand.  Yeah, me too.  Neither side of the aisle will ever convince me they’re right.  I’ve got my opinion, mercifully untainted by media spin.  And like I have always said, you can’t get anything of value from cable news gasbags on TV going [...]

Tuesday: Jumping the Shark

Ok, I promised myself I wouldn’t go over this subject again but it seems we have lost perspective. It pains me to point this out, but here goes. In the past two decades, those of us on the left have watched with increasing alarm at the rise of the right wing noise machine.  I forgot [...]

failure to discriminate

Tucson.  I hope this is the last day we beat this dead horse. In the past week, I have stayed away from TV and radio and most blog sites.  At first it was because I was tied up with something else that needed my full attention.  But as a the week wore on, I deliberately [...]

Standard Disclaimer

This blog was founded by a liberal Democrat who was a supporter of Hillary Clinton. It is not an auxiliary of the Tea Party Movement. It does not espouse the beliefs of the Tea Party, which was funded and created by movement conservative Republicans. The founder does not support Sarah Palin and in general, would [...]

Football vs. Politics

I was ruminating on some of the comments we typically get when we don’t join in the latest Palinpalooza Wankfestivus. Then a football analogy occurred to me. Both football and politics are popular spectator sports. The actual players make lots of money and have little in common with their loyal fans. They both use violent [...]

Do you think Steve Benen might be a tad biased?

Seriously: HALF-TERM GOVERNOR BREAKS HER SILENCE…. As tempted as I am to simply ignore former half-term Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R) latest statement, I suppose there’s no point in pretending it’s not of some interest to the political world this morning. Palin has been unusually quiet since Saturday’s massacre in Tucson, and as interest in the [...]

Palin and Clyburn add fuel to raging fire with “blood libel” and intellectual deficits

I’m just going to summarize what I said in the comments because I’m still on an iPad app and it’s not designed for mini novels. Regarding Sarah Palin’s video this morning, she was defiant. I found it decidedly unhelpful. I was waiting for her to acknowledge that conservatives may have gone too far. I didn’t [...]

Who do we blame for THIS nut?

HuffPoop: Shawn Christie, Alleged Sarah Palin Stalker, Reportedly Causing New Concern In Alaska Shawn Christy, a 19-year-old Pennsylvania teenager who has had a restraining order issued against him by the former Alaska governor, is causing anxiety in the Frontier State with reports that he has planned a visit to Wasilla. TMZ reports: 19-year-old Shawn Christy [...]

WWHD?

I should have written a post about this earlier because I really don’t like the meme “politicizing a tragedy” and you won’t hear me using it. The reason you won’t hear me using it is because words like “politicizing” are cooked up by operatives at the speed of light and are used to short circuit [...]
