UPDATED: Not So Late Nite Oddity
I got this from Boing Boing: It is by a 6 year old named Slade Oaks who, I think really captures the heart of the movie franchise. Have you ever noticed how many arms get cut off below the elbow in the Star Wars series? Just off the top of my head there is Obi […]
Obama on The Blagojevich Scandal
Dave Burris commented: The only thing that bothers me about this is Obama’s statement that he hadn’t talked to Blago. There’s no freakin’ way he gives up his Senate seat and doesn’t weigh in. I’m not accusing him of wrongdoing, but that statement just doesn’t sit with me. From The Chicago Tribune article regarding Blagojevich: […]
Feroce is Locked and Loaded
One of my favorite DP wingnuts writes: Something’s not right. We’re going to have to listen to Blagojevich/Obama nonsense for the next four years. God, if someone commits suicide in a park . . . .
We Have Exceeded Epic Fail.
I love the phrase “Epic Fail” and the accompanying pictures of failure attached to it. Thus, this is my favorite blogosphere reaction to the Blagojevich scandal so far. Coates: Incredible. Blagojevich was already under investigation. And then he tries to sell Obama’s Senate seat? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this. This dude […]
The Pragmatic Obama
Long ago at Daily Kos, I diagnosed the basic divide in the Democratic Party in particular and on the left in general. It is not Liberal v. Moderate or Conservative. It is Purist v. the Pragmatist (or if your Dana Garrett or Mike Matthews, it is Principled v. Partisan Hacks). It is a divide that […]
Replacing the Corrupt with the Progressive.
The Lt. Governor of Illinois is Patrick Quinn. I have only read and heard good things about him so far. In his just completed news conference, he has urged Governor Blagojevich to either resign or step aside until this matter is settled. Illinois apparently does allow a governor to step aside like the 25th Amendment […]
UPDATE: Blago to be Impeached. Rahm Turned Him In.
I am just loving these updates. Illinois State Representative John Fritchey (D) (from Blagojevich’s home district), head of the State House Judiciary committee, said impeachment proceedings will begin immediately. I had said in the comments to the previous thread that Blago should be impeached and removed from office immediately since he was unlikely to resign. […]
Wow. Blago was truly corrupt.
He must resign immediately. (Hey Dana, Blago is an example of an embarrassment to liberalism, not me). Here are some new details from Blago’s attempt to sell Obama’s Senate seat, and, to Dana’s and Burris’ chagrin, Obama is above reproach once again in this situation: At various times, in exchange for the Senate appointment, Blagojevich […]
What I’m Reading
Reading is good, it is one of those things more people, like the host of idiots that come over here and try to spin each and every post that points out the irony, hypocrisy, recklessness, and out right bullshit of the GOP and it’s supporters. People like them don’t read books, because they get all […]
Hey, Dana Garrett, you don’t own the word ‘Liberal.’
I am sorry I embarrass you. I am sorry if you think I am too compromising, or too pragmatic, or too practical. I am sorry if you think I should never write anything again because I once stupidly said that we should round up Republicans and shoot them. But too bad for you, I am […]
