One Less Wingnut Blog Cluttering Up Our Blog Roll
Paul Smith Pulls The Plug On Gazizza And I’m outta here… January 11, 2009 by Paul Smith Jr For anyone still reading, I’ve obviously lost motivation and interest in maintaining this blog. …because being wrong about everything is pretty freaking exhausting. I’ve moved it over to a WordPress blog, so I can have it archived […]
What to Watch tonight
I have Direct Tv and tonight at 9pm there is a cartoon going to be on called “W.T.F. (W., Thanks and Farewell): A look back at the Bush years” I know on Direct TV it is Channel 358. I think on Comcast it is 107. Watch it…
We have come so far as a nation
It’s pretty sweet when talk show hosts are in favor of torture [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOyAik-AfTM[/youtube] best line “You can’t make a general practice out of an exceptional case”
All the world’s a stage
How desperate this president is…. With seven days left until he surrenders power, Bush will have to do a heck of a sales job to convince the nation of this. Further complicating his last-minute legacy rehabilitation: Nobody seems to be paying attention. The White House had high expectations for yesterday’s final, historic news conference. “ONE […]
Breaking: Desk Drawer Removed?
From the tipline: Mike Matthews gets a call from senator Carter (not sure) which stated that the desk drawer was removed as part of the Senate Rules, which basically mirror the House rules.

This anon commenter at the Time Magazine blog got it right: Liberals are only welcome in the Democratic Party when it is time to raise money and get votes. Other than that the party is run by gutless moderates, who prefer to play kissy face with right-wing extremists, rather than following up on all the […]
Muskrat Loathe
I’m going for my very first muskrat dinner tonight. I graduated from the U of D, and have lived in the home of tax free shopping since 1975 but have never really felt like an honest to goodness Delawarean. Maybe this will do the trick. My guess is that it will either be surprisingly good […]
oh look, he’s a conciliator now…one final Bushism
Boy, the lengths they are going to rewrite history and the disgusting partisan politics that have happened over the past 8 years. It is as if Tom Delay never existed, Rove was just kidding and Dick Cheney was simply a pee in your pants Night Terror that little boys get after watching a scary movie […]
Deep thought for the day
If you think funerals are depressing then you haven’t been to an unemployment office at 8am. As I approached the office this morning, about 40 people stood in line before the place was even open. At least at a wake you get in line to pass the dead and try to remember what a great […]
