Political Flirting
Terri over at Kentucky’s Barefoot and Progressive once read a big book out of spite which lead her to write a great post. Here’s the spite: We parted ways, of course. Maybe it was the Icehouse and peppermint schnaaps. Maybe it was the women’s studies classes. We just never really clicked. No hard feelings, though. […]
Taking Chance
My brother is a Marine. A few months ago he saw the previews for the HBO movie Taking Chance and shot out an email to the whole Geek clan to urge us to watch it. My wires got crossed at some point, so I didn’t get to see it on its first showing, as was […]
CASTLE RESPONDS TO RUSH LIMBAUGH’S ADDRESS TO CPAC
I found Castle’s response surprisingly candid. Washington – “Rush Limbaugh delivered what I consider to be a clear assessment of our party’s current situation and some of the electoral challenges facing us. I appreciated his straightforward approach while relaying such important details to American conservatives. I share the de facto Chairman’s goals in so many […]
You’d think
You’d think that a blog with part of its’ name being “Commonsense” you’d see some of that in the blogging… Think again: I mean, surely she has to have heard about the ferfuffle over the New York Post cartoon that some have thought implied President Obama was a chimp, or at the very least that […]

Comment Rescue: Love!
David Anderson: I love President Bush Love! Never mind the fact that he goes on to criticize Bush. He only does so with love in his heart.

No Country For Clean Coal
The Reality Campaign has lured the Coen Brothers into making a commercial to mock the whole idea of “clean coal”: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFJVbdiMgfM[/youtube] Their signature dry (and quirky) humor is on full display here, but I’m not so sure how well this works for a 30 second commercial. But they’ve also got a blog to help you […]
Proof Elections Matter: Obama to Restore Endangered Species Protections
Yet one more Bushite move to despoil the environment has been turned back. A memorandum issued in the waning days of the Bush Administration has been rendered inoperative. In December 2008, the Bush administration changed a longstanding practice under the Endangered Species Act by issuing rules that allowed agencies to move ahead with projects and […]

The GOP Loses Another Voice of Reason
RSmitty of Delaware Politics has just announced he’s leaving the GOP and becoming an Independent. I am not here to gloat. This was obviously a difficult decision, and not one that should be taken lightly – by either side. I refuse to cheapen Smitty’s decision with offers of congratulations. Today is a day of mourning, […]
The Face of the GOP: Good Luck With That
From the blogoshphere. Idaho’s the unequicovocal notion writes, “Could you imagine the fit that the GOP would be in if Democrats took Jon Stewart as seriously as they take Rush?” Iowa Liberal is a little more snarky, “So much for that hip hop attitude” and Blue Virginia posts Gov. Kaine’s statement: However, Chairman Steele’s reversal […]
