Picture of the Day
I just love behind the scenes pictures. Here is yet another candid of Obama and Clinton.
Tea Parties Could Backfire On Republicans
Well, they wanted our attention, and now they’ve got it. All eyes, cameras and microphones will be on Wednesday’s Tea Parties, and if I were a Republican I’d be very nervous. For the last few weeks we’ve seen snippets of what’s to come – and it ain’t pretty. Although I will give conservatives credit. They’ve […]
Castle Not Running for Senate.
Get used to that headline. The 2010 general election is approximately 500 days away. Yes, that is a long time and anything can happen, but in this day and age, if a politician does have serious designs on running in an election that is sure to be hotly contested, there would be tell tale signs […]

The GOP has Become a Rump Regional Party…or is it just play acting?
Interesting poll findings on what America thinks for France, New York and San Fran. (Read the poll and come back to discuss….) [three minutes later…] Okay…So why has the GOP decided that the only authentic Americans are white southerners? I think it is for the same reason that adult “careers” are presented to children in […]
Breaking News from 144 Years Ago: Was Lincoln Dying of Cancer When He Was Shot?
The answer is, (a)maybe and (b) scientists now have the technology to find out. But, here’s the question raised in this Philadelphia Inquirer article: Should we find out? Here’s the long (Lincoln) and short (synopsis) of it. A small Philly museum has part of a pillowcase that has some of Lincoln’s blood and brain matter […]
Countdown — Two Days Until the Worlds Biggest Teabagging
Does anyone wish this were over yet? Or is this too much fun to watch? Do you think that this will be the end of the crazy or do Republicans still have new heights to reach? Witness the awesomeness of a Tea Party in Ohio back in February. And witness the accepted GOP narrative re: […]
