The Effects Of LSD – Baseball And Bloggers

Share Button

It appears it works better for baseball pitchers than it does for bloggers. On the 40 year anniversary of Dock Ellis’s throwing a no hitter while tripping the merry-go-round, Andrew Sullivan manages to scribble this (in crayon presumably) on his blog this morning about Barrack Obama: That’s the brutal truth and we have to face […]

“Those who are impotent and limp and gutless and they go on their anonymous — sources that are anonymous — and impotent, limp and gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them as being factual references, It just slays me because it’s so absolutely clear what the state of yellow journalism is today that they […]

AB 1600 passed out of the Senate and is expected to reach the Governor’s desk next week. It is absolutely critical that people write to the Governor urging him to sign […]

Nipping A Meme In The Bud – The Iraq War Cost $3 Trillion Dollars (and yes, I am saying that in my mind like Dr. Evil and I have my pinky at my cheek)

Share Button

Mark Tapscott gives us the heads-up that some in the Democratic circle are proclaiming that the Iraq war has cost $3 trilion dollars. The CBO, you know, those guys that actually account for all congressional expenditures, shows the cost at about $709 billion, a wee bit short of the $3 trillion mark. Here’s a CBO […]

Anti-Islamic Fervor – The Unasked Question: “Why Now”?

Share Button

First, i want to say that I completely understand with the sentiments regarding building a mosque so close to the World Trade Center. But what is happening now has moved well beyond that question. Something else is entering the equation, creating a poisonous atmosphere of recriminations and distrust. I mean, it’s getting really ugly out […]

Uh Oh, Another Right Wing Hero Gone Bad

General Petraeus is on record criticizing the Bush administration on the war. Now, for the current conservative crowd, it’s OK to criticize Bush on spending, but the war has always been off limits. Petraeus will become a target of conservative scorn in 3… 2… 1… PS. Remember how conservatives were sympathetic to McCrystal when criticizing […]
