Bush: ‘Gog and Magog Made Me Do It’

Filed in International, National by on August 6, 2009 11 Comments

Invade Iraq, that is. And just one more story the MSM didn’t cover: A raging born-again religious fanatic lunatic was President. El Somnambulo cannot make this stuff up. But here’s the sourced inside skinny, starting w/Daily Kos, and continuing with an account from the Council for Secular Humanism: Incredibly, President George W. Bush told French […]

CRI’s Impact on Real People

Filed in National by on August 6, 2009 45 Comments

I’m not going to assign blame to a particular individual for the posting of payroll information. I don’t know if that decision was made by the Director of CRI, board members or the anonymous money men behind the whole thing. But Dave Burris got all bent out of shape for Kavips’ dissection of one of their employees resumes. Dave’s main complaint seemed to be the poisoning of the well for said director in his next job interview.

The DNC Gets a Pair

Filed in National by on August 6, 2009 3 Comments

By now everyone has seen the hard hitting, DNC Ad that calls out the Republican party for allowing itself to be taken over by a bunch of birth certificate waving, gun toting idiots. I was happy to see that DNC taking a shot at the ongoing nonsense that passes for political thought on the right, […]

Has Violence Already Started?

Filed in National by on August 6, 2009 176 Comments

As has been documented before, the Republican party and astroturf lobbying groups have been encouraging people to disrupt townhall meetings of Democratic members of Congress. These tea party activists are part of the paranoid, far right wing base of the party and have been using some questionable tactics. Tactics like shouting down all questions, loudly […]

Deep thought

Filed in National by on August 5, 2009 15 Comments

Republicans are hypocrites: Example 2,004,092,584,329: Watch Lindsey “the weasel” Graham double speak on North Korea. Mr. We don’t talk with Nations that support terrorism says in this clip that he wants to categorize them as a nation that supports terrorism and that he also supports talking to them. Meredith Vierra actually sort of catches him […]
