Misogyny in a Dress
I came across this video yesterday and couldn’t get it out of my mind. I’ve decided to share it with everyone so I wouldn’t be suffering alone. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MNI3-oL4Ck[/youtube] This video is a trailer for a movie called the Monstrous Regiment of Women. It is also a pack of lies and the ultimate act of woman […]
“The 50 state strategy is now and forever what Democrats do.”
New DNC Chair gives props to Howard Dean. There’s no question it’ll be hard to match Howard Dean’s record as chairman of this party. His 50-state strategy was simple and powerful. The Obama campaign adopted it and the results speak for themselves. The basic point-and the principle I’ll carry with me as DNC Chair-is that […]
The Ground IS Shifting!
Nashville rejected the English Only Referendum today! For English Only — 32,144 (44%) Against English Only — 41,752 (56%) From Enclave: I expect nothing but contrition in any response from Eric Crafton, whose mantra while pursuing this expensive special election was “‘We the People’ have a right to vote on this matter.” Well, he should […]

Kaufman: missing in action on the Web?
No, he is on the floor of the Senate, casting his first votes. But how does one contact his Senate office? Where is his Senate office? And where is his Senate website? Biden’s former site now redirects to the main Senate website, and if type in http://kaufman.senate.gov, it goes to his biography page on the […]
CSPAN 2 Just Now
I just saw Ted Kaufman vote with the Democrats to kill Vitter’s anti-organized labor amendment to S 181 the Lilly Ledbetter bill. I think Carper voted with the Dems too. It passed easily.

Obama To Stay Connected
President Obama won his first battle of his Presidency — he gets to keep his Blackberry. This is good news as this will allow President Obama to increase his circle beyond the bubble that surrounds him at The White House. I know that I can’t go anywhere without staying connected using my iPhone.
Your tax Dollars At Work
Certain people still say that BA’s purchase of ML was a good idea.

At the same time Merrill posted $25 billion […]
