Prairie View University is an historically black university in Texas.  With all of the gerrymandering in Texas, their early voting polling place was over 7 miles from their school.  As it turns out, the Republicans didn’t put it far enough away.  This is what Obama is doing to America, and I like it.

Charlie Copeland Can’t Take the Blog Heat

I don’t know how much impact this blog has. Not much I imagine. I mean I never hear from people I’ve called out. I compose satirical letters to DL from Tom Carper, but I am under no illusions that Tom Carper knows who I am. Celia Cohen never says boo. Neither Ron Williams nor Gary […]

Right Wing Goes Berserk on Obama, Hillary Clinton Joins In

You have to expect that the Republicans are going to run this kind of crazy-ass shit against Obama: Michael Savage falsely asserted that Sen. Barack Obama is a Muslim, claiming that “[w]e have a right to know if he’s a so-called friendly Muslim or one who aspires to more radical teachings.” But after the last […]

Monogamy Is Not a Republican Virtue

I think we can all agree that the reason the sex part of the Vicki Iseman/John McCain story didn’t have any legs was that he long ago admitted that he was an adulterer. It is pretty much given that if you are a (non-Mormon) Republican you are going to cheat on your wife. No big […]

Mocking the prayers of the right-wing’s insiders, shills, and party hacks the John McCain influence peddling story is not going away. To the contrary, it picked up a lot of steam today as McCain’s defense (that he never spoke to Vicki Iseman’s clients) was exposed as an outright lie. Newsweek is reporting that McCain testified […]
