Dinner with a Republican/homophobe
I occasionally entertain Republicans that pay for my dinner. I do this about 1x a week, sometime’s twice. Last night’s was especially fun because the person was on fire I tell you. Apparently he had watched Rosie O’Donnel on CBS Sunday Morning the other day and learned that she is a “Very, very angry woman.” […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrapup/Pre-Game Show-Thurs., June 18
Yesterday’s Action: In the Senate, the big news was the release of SB 121 to the floor by unanimous committee vote, surprising no one save the News-Journal’s headline writer, who used the term ‘surprising’ to describe this development. Nor will it be ‘surprising’ when this long-overdue civil rights measure becomes law, probably by the end […]
Health Insurance Companies Always Win
Which is the basic problem, since insurance is really legalized gambling. Whether it’s your house, health or car, you’re paying (betting) money in the hopes you never cash in on your investment. Insurance companies are betting on the same thing, especially since they get your money up front. And once they have your money they […]
Dispatch From An Alternate Reality #3
Republicans have really taken the solidarity with the people of Iran a little too far. From the #twitter fail files: Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) tweeted: Good to see Iranian people move mountains w social media, shining sunlight on their repressive govt – Texans support their bid for freedom Oppressed minorities include House Repubs: We are […]
Open Thread
The news nobody watches is going off the air. (Jim Soles is their “go to” political analyst. ’nuff said). Republicans still don’t get it. I heard Mike Castle’s buddy, John Boehner trucking out this talking point to take on Obama’s financial industry reforms: We could see a situation where government ties the bank’s hands and […]
Ambushing the Ambushers
Adam Green from OpenLeft.com tries to talk to Faux News producer Griff Jenkins at an ACORN event. They brought their own red carpet? LOL! Breaking news from Fox, bloggers are media, pass it on.
Late Night Educational Video
This is another video from the TED series. This one is from science writer Mary Roach, and it’s called “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Orgasm.” I would characterize this one as NSFW, but quite amusing.
Senator Adams Hospitalized
We’re getting word that Sen. Thurman Adams has been hospitalized. I have no further information at this time. Although, we at this blog have had disagreements with Senator Adams, we wish him a quick and complete recovery.
Hammer Pants Flash Mob
Step back, people — the Hammer Pants Flash Mob is here to give Jason330 the mother of all flashbacks. Don’t want anyone to get hurt. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfxCnZ4Dp3c[/youtube]
It is Refreshing to hear it spoken.
Verbatim grab from MyDD From an interview with CNBC yesterday: In another interview yesterday, Harwood told the president that “media critics would say not only has it not come, but that you have gotten such favorable press — either because of bias or because you’re good box office — that it’s hurting the country, […]
Why Do Congressional Republicans Hate The Troops?
We don’t expect you to actually answer this, but what is it with these people? They’ve decided to vote against a war funding supplemental — something that used to be the Most UnAmerican.Thing.Ever. What I really want to know is: whether you’ve seen or heard of any reports of this action giving aid and comfort […]
SB 121 Voted Out of Committee Unanimously
Mike Matthews is at the hearing, and he tweets about a number of speakers before the committee, including David Anderson, that were concerned about this bill’s impact on children. Apparently they are all somehow concerned that this anti-discrimination bill, that will prevent bigots from firing gays simply because they are gay, will lead to the […]
