Dudes! Good Luck With That!
George “Macaca” Allen is headlining a GOP Minority Outreach Rally in Virgina. Are they doing this on purpose, or what?
Oh, no she didn’t! Palin/McCain

Welcome back…

You Are A Sponsor of Man United — UPDATED
Kevin Drum over at Mother Jones asks: Now that you, the American taxpayer, more or less own insurance giant AIG, it turns out that you, the American taxpayer, are also the principal sponsor of Manchester United, thanks to a four-year, $100 million sponsorship deal signed in 2006. So this got me curious: how is our […]
American Socialism for the Rich
This was made after the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bailout and before Lehman Brothers. After I saw this, I noted that I didn’t hear one peep from the fake free marketers in the news yesterday or today. CNBC may be the exception, though…. “America is more communist than China is right now….” [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gZuG-52js0[/youtube] None of these […]
Oh, That’s a Relief. Wait…
From the Huffington Post: The McCain campaign insisted Thursday morning that the Senator meant what he said when, during an interview on Spanish radio, he refused to commit to a meeting with Spain’s prime minister, Jose Luis Zapatero. This has got to be a cover. A lie to coverup that McCain forgot where Spain was, […]

It is a boutique (but high demand) vehicle now, but Tesla ultimately wanted to build more affordable, more utilitarian cars. […]
Joe and Hillary
As part of the “Women for the Change We Need” Week of Action, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton got together for a conversation with women on the issues that are most important to them. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h1pLEqI3Pw[/youtube]
McCain Wants War with Spain.
Ok, not really. But the elderly, out-of-touch, and ill tempered Republican seemed to forget that Spain was an ally, or who the current Prime Minister of Spain was, or what country Prime Minister Jose Zapatero represented. Because there is no other explanation for this exchange, other than McCain really thinks our relationship with a trust NATO […]
Vetrepreneurs
The Republican candidate for Lt. Governor, Charles Lamont du Pont Copeland, announced a proposal this week, saying if elected he would develop an assistance program for veterans who wish to start small businesses, and he cleverly called such veteransm, “vetrepreneurs.” The proposal would offer grants for returning veterans interested in starting businesses, exempt their pensions from state income tax […]
I Like the New Bridge Design
Image courtesy of the News Journal. Whenever I go down to Slower..er ah …I mean Lower Delaware to visit my parents, I have to cross this bridge. Since the current bridge is predicted to collapse literally any day now (seriously, it was judged to fail between 2008 and 2012 by the Army Corps of Engineers), […]
