The Goofs and Oddball’s Party
One Republican claims that we are running out of rich people in this country. Another says that Justice Ginsberg is going to die in 9 months. Still another says that President Obama is not an American citizen. These are not empty headed wingnut talk show hosts like Rick Jensen. They are empty-headed Republican elected officials. […]
What Have We Become?
I’ve been pondering this question for quite some time, but it took El Somnambulo’s post concerning corrupt judges to drive me to my keyboard. Call it the straw that broke the camel’s back – and this camel is thoroughly disgusted. Who are we? I really want to know. I want to know what sort of […]

Is Kicking People Out of the Club Really the Best Way to Rebuild the GOP?
It seems the phrase you’re either with us or against us applies to all things Republican.
