Read All About It In the Sunday Papers-Sept. 20 Edition
LEAD STORY: McClatchy Papers: Anti-Government Protests Racism By Another Name Of course it is, and it has been since the beginning of the Obama Administration, but the ‘respectable’ media has failed to tell the story. Until now: At about the same time (Nov. 5 after Obama had been declared the winner), newspaper Web sites were […]
What Does The Dave Matthews Band Think Of This?
This is just disgusting. Take this with a grain of salt, but these allegations are from one of John Edwards’s closest aides, the one who publicly stated he was the father of Rielle Hunter’s child to help cover up Edwards’s actions. The New York Times said the book proposal by former Edwards aide Andrew Young […]
The Teabagger Pledge
I saw this at dKos yesterday, but it also turned up in my email several times, today, so I thought I would post it here. Perhaps our local teabaggers will print this up and make a point of getting their cohorts to signup. Or perhaps tell us they endorse this letter in the comments!
Avast Maties — It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day!
We interrupt your ritual pillaging and mayhem to remind you that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, with a message from its founders direct from Pirate News Network:
Big Shock: Fox News Lies
Has Faux News finally gone too far for the media to ignore? (Yeah, I know, wishful thinking.) Fox took out ads in the Washington Post, New York Times andWall Street Journal accusing the media (including WaPo, NYT, CNN and others) of not covering the Fox-organized and Fox-promoted 9/12 protest in Washington. Rick Sanchez begs to […]

Breaking: Big Win For Net Neutrality
The Washington Post reports that FCC Chair Julius Genachowski will announce ‘new so-called net neutrality rules’ on Monday. The rules would “prevent wireless companies from blocking Internet applications, according to a source at the agency.” In addition, “one principal would clearly state that operators of networks — including wireless firms — cannot discriminate what services and […]
Teabaggers on Parade
The other night Anderson Cooper had Mark Williams on his show. Mr. Williams is one of the leaders of the tea party protests. Unfortunately for Williams, Cooper had done some homework before the interview.
Cooper: What you’re saying makes sense to me here when I’m hearing what you say but then I read on your blog, you say, you call the President an Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug and a racist in chief.
Williams: Yeah, that’s the way he’s behaving.
Whose Values?
Talking Points Memo looks at the schedule for the Value Voters Summit and finds these breakout sessions: “Speechless – Silencing The Christians” “Thugocracy – Fighting the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy” “Defunding Planned Parenthood” “Activism and Conservatism: Fit to a Tea (Party)” “The Threat of Illegal Immigration” “Obamacare: Rationing Your Life Away” “Marriage: Why It’s Worth […]
Friday Open Thread
Put your brain droppings here. My WTF of the day: Bill O’Reilly supports the public option?
Overreacting to ACORN
I am a little disturbed by the latest round of ACORN bashing in Washington this week. After a pair of conservative actors staged their own sting operation to see if ACORN employees would help them operate an illegal business, there have been a slew of actions taken. ACORN has lost business that they had with […]
Massachusetts To Have A New Senator Next Week?
The efforts to change the law in Massachusetts to allow appointment of an interim senator are moving quickly now. State policymakers were reluctant to act, until Kennedy’s passing made the matter extremely relevant, not only to the state, but to national affairs. Yesterday, the Massachusetts state House took a step towards remedying the problem. House […]
Calling Them Out on Their Lies
President Obama made a point of this promise in his speech to the Congress and it looks like it starts now:
