Share Button

Now that Rush has been denied the oportunity to own an NFL team because of who he is, I wonder if conservatives will have a little more empathy for gay who can’t get married because of who they are. Yeah, I know. I won’t hold my breath.

Joanne: Told Ya So

My wonderful bandmate and I were talking about the recent ramp-up of hostile rhetoric and actions coming from North Korea. She was very very concerned, frightened even. I’m all…. meh. My speculation was that these gyrations are due to the imminent demise of Kim Jong Il. This is just the government’s way of preping or […]

More On Palin – Conservatives Play The Victim Card…. For Ratings.

Share Button

On many conservative blogs, you’ll read something like this: The amount of vitriol and harassment Sarah Palin has endured following November as a losing prez or VP candidate is no doubt unprecedented in American history.

Sarah Palin Resigns – My Thoughts

A Congressman’s wife pleads guilty to attempted bribery. I think it would be getting a bit more press…. like, all of it.

The Obama Administration – A Return To Science Based Policy.

Share Button

Err…. not so much. So the EPA is prepared to issue the latest Endamgerment Report. It’s supposed to be based on the latest scientific research. Well, not if it interferes with an ideology. An EPA scientist tried to have the agency include some of the latest peer reviewed science that points away from carbon dioxide […]

Quick Thought On The Late Great State Of California.

Well, due to the idiots we’ve elected to run the state, California is getting closer and closer to insolvency. From California Controller John Chiang: “The state’s $2.8 billion cash shortage in July grows to $6.5 billion in September and after that we see a double digit freefall,” Chiang said. “Unfortunately, the state’s inability to balance […]
