The Kids Are Alright
Check out these letters from Tampa Bay students. I’m feeling positive about the kids. Rachel Lubitz, 17, Countryside High senior [Her closing paragraph – she nails the high schoolish behavior] What I would most like to applaud President Obama on is taking the time to look at this new generation from ages 5 to 18 […]
A Bitch slapping at its best
Art Downs once walked into a death trap against Unstoppable Isotope a few months ago when it came to chemistry. Countless others have walked into my tazer of torridness. David Anderson did the same thing against Steve Newton last week. And, in typical David Anderson (a professed damner of fornicators) he tries to Hannity his way […]
Brandywine Arts Festival Is Cancelled
This disappointing but not surprising news just came through from the News Journal: After 48 years of tradition, there will be no Brandywine Arts Festival this weekend. With the third proposed venue for the festival announced last week, organizers could not get enough commitments from artists to go through with the festival at its most […]
Community Standards – A Call For Feedback
To me, blogging is very different than other sources of news and information. Blogging is not like a newspaper or TV news – it’s a conversation between the bloggers and the community. We as contributors don’t feel like we “own” the stories, we are conversation starters. We don’t want people to feel intimidated to join […]
Video Of Obama’s School Speech
Fear the socialism! The transcript was released earlier. Here’s the video: I think the uproar over the speech actually insures that more people watch it than would have otherwise. I hope this helps to bring down the temperature of our political debate a little bit.
Health Insurance Reform — Where We Are Now
One of the things that is true about the discussion about this reform effort is that too few people really understand what is currently in the bills drafted. Part of that is because we get distracted by the misinformation about death panels, government taking over medical care and the other litany of lies that fired up the teabaggers over the last month.
Deep Thought
I’m tired of hearing that the Dems need to get in line or that they are fractured. The “Dems” that are fractured aren’t democrats. They are politicians/opportunists that obviously cater to their donors. But, the sad part is that many of the leading “Dems” are the sellouts and are the ones with the seniority and […]
Sign The Petition
I got this email from Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake. Please sign the petition if you haven’t already. The more signatures we can get, the better. We need to let Congress know that paranoid teabaggers are the minority and not the majority. Today at 5pm is the deadline to add your name to our petition asking […]
The latest R hero
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G44NCvNDLfc&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] Get ready to see this guy more and more is my guess. He taps right into the arguement that unpatriotic Americans love to hear. Every man for himself. I guess they forgot that part in the pledge of allegiance that says something about “one nation for all” We are going to punish the 85% […]
