The Ass-Backwards Logic Of a “Compassionate Conservative”
I think even children can probably understand the concept of having enough money to pay your bills. If you are an established person, being able to stay where you are depends on being able to pay your bills. The inability to pay your bills means that you are quite likely to find yourself a transient, [...]
Aw fuck it; let’s talk about Curling instead…
Shall we?
A bitch was going to post about the health care summit and how, although it didn’t move a single person from yes to no or no to yes, it was worthwhile because it clarified a lot of shit that needed to be clarified for the three or five folks left in America who still [...]
Gut wrenching…
It was simply gut wrenching to watch. KO makes tonight’s Special Comment about tomorrows ‘healthcare summit’ very personal. His father is going downhill fast, and I send both of them my love and prayers. He lost his mother last year. ;(
Leave your egos at the door, like KO says, gentlemen. Do NOT bring that political [...]
Political analysts serve whom exactly?
The Political analysts that appear on Fox, MSNBC, CNN and other news outlets will have you believe that they are all fair and balanced in their analysis of specific issues or incidents.
Nothing could be farther from the truth in most cases. Many times, these folks have another job as a Lobbyist, Consultant or sit on [...]
Absolutely. Frigging. Nuts
1 child in 8 will know hunger this year.
Millions of us will know unemployment for YEARS.
Bridges are creaking, potholes the size of small canyons are appearing in the highways, street lights are being turned off because municipalities can’t afford them anymore, tens of thousands of us are going to die because we can’t afford to [...]
UCSD Teach-In is today and the home training fail that inspired it…
So sorry for the delay in posting this, y’all!
As you may already know, a group of UCSD students executed a rare synchronized home training fail of massive proportions when they decided to post the following Facebook message to UCSD’s Greek Community “in honor of Black History Month.”
Description
February marks a very important month in American society. [...]
Remembering Vernon Hunter…
Shall we?
When I watched footage of the massive fire consuming an office building in Austin Texas last week after a domestic terrorist flew a plane into it, my first thought was to hope no one other than the pilot was hurt.
That was, tragically, not the case.
Vernon Hunter, a Vietnam veteran who served two tours of [...]
of tempests and tea parties
i have been thinking in broad strokes lately— and conversely, i have been hunkering down and working on personal issues. it would suffice to say that i am just plain exhausted. i have a feeling many folks are worn down and worn out by life- and it just shouldn’t be that way. [...]
Todays number: 112
That is the number of Rethug and Democrap Senators and House Reps that have so far tried to take credit for the Recovery Act advances in their districts, yet voted against it in DC. From Bloomberg:
Alabama Republicans Jo Bonner and Robert Aderholt took to the U.S. House floor in July, denouncing the Obama administration’s stimulus [...]
Lies of Omission, Or Just Plain Lies: FOX “News” In a Nutshell
Like most of you, I was aware of a significant investment in Murdoch’s “News” Corp by a Saudi investor. I wondered what that might cause at the FOX “News” Channel, because FOX “News” has been virulently pushing the “scary brown Muslim murderer” meme for some time (and trying to tie that meme like hell to [...]
Maher: Teabaggers are a cult.
Last night saw the return of Bill Maher and his HBO show, Real Time w/Bill Maher. His new rules section had the following pronouncement on the teabaggers and I agree!

You Aren’t Subsidizing Just Bankers
No, you certainly aren’t. You’re also making it possible (and many of you are happy to do it) for the rich to enjoy bounties unheard of even in the waning days of the 19th century.
How are you doing it? A lot of different ways. The first way is the easiest one to identify; by not [...]
Oh, the hypocrisy of these fuckers!
Hypocrisy isn’t limited to the Democraps..oh hell no, it aint. But just for a minute, let us concentrate on the dozen or so rethugs denouncing the Stimulus Bill, while they sing it’s praises at fucking home. It rips me into little pieces to read their lies. From Think Progress“:
Today marks the one year anniversary of [...]
the february of my discontent

KO’ Special Comment
This is a great Special Comment. It’s long,but aren’t they all? KO speaks truth to power regarding racism. Doesn’t it make you physically ill that the TeaBaggers don’t fucking get it? It’s common sense people…common-fucking-sense.
