The St. Paul City Council set strict requirements for bars that want to stay open until 4 a.m. during the convention. Some 32 bars now meet those requirements. My guess is they will pray prior to sloshing down a naked girl scout. Hypocrites to the nth degree

Hmm, I wonder if McSame will be in favor of the Gas Tax hike?

Filed in National by on July 19, 2008 6 Comments

Hmmm, I’m in favor it to be honest. Our infrastructure is horrible (Google Minnesota Bridge) and if 10 cents does the trick to improve our roads and bridges I’m ok with a dollar more a fill. But the really shocking news to the story is the Contstruction lobbyists are behind it. (insert snark as thick […]

Autism defined by an Ahole

“I’ll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out. That’s what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they’re silent? They don’t have a father around to tell them, ‘Don’t act like a moron. You’ll get nowhere in […]

And a Single Timeline Shall Rule Them All

Filed in National by on July 19, 2008 6 Comments

Well, maybe not, but amongst the major shifts on BushCo policy this week, this administration has finally agreed to a timeline for withdrawal. Of course, they don’t want this new effort actually branded as a timeline — they call ita general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals. While the announcement of the agreement is framed […]

Contractor is to Mercenary. Guess Mercenary/Soldier of Fortune doesn’t sound patriotic enough anymore. Maybe Republicans should try their favorite “change the name” trick with John McCain. Maybe they could start calling him… Ronald Reagan.

Another Senior Moment?

Today McCain announced at a Republican fundraiser that his opponent, Barack Obama was going to Iraq this weekend. Here’s the rub, this wasn’t public knowledge. The announcement could be considered a security breach. Don’t you think a guy that claims to be strong on national defense would know better than to leak that sort of […]

Comment Rescue: On Beating Castle…Someday.

Filed in National by on July 18, 2008 19 Comments

Cassandra writes… I have to agree with Rothenberg too — neither of the Dem candidates seem like much more than vanity candidates at this point. I do respect the both of them for their commitment and their effort, but Castle just never seemed to be the real target for either campaign. And just because I […]
