Filed in Uncategorized by on May 9, 2008 30 Comments

There was some question around here last week about whether or not the SEU was acting within the law that created them. There was an allegation that their term had expired per statute. Here is the pertinent part of the law: There is hereby created the SEU Oversight Board which shall, from passage of this […]

Hillary as the Psycho Ex-Girlfriend

Holy cow. My brother is on today. He sent me the link earlier and I got so engrossed, I forgot to click on the other link. Whatever you do today, you must read this blog post today. My only regret is that Donviti didn’t do it.

Hillary Post-Mortem

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 8, 2008 3 Comments

Time has a piece up about the 5 mistakes that Hillary made that cost her the nomination. It is a pretty good list. I think the weak point of the article is that Axelrod was one of the main sources. Anyone else have mistakes that she made? I think it would also be fair to […]

Feeling Happy Today?

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 7, 2008 28 Comments

I was. It looks like this thing will finally be over and I can spend a few Tuesdays with my family. Then I went over to Taylor Marsh’s site. Taylor has been very pro-Hillary, so I wanted to see how she took the results last night. She is ready to flip over to Obama, but […]

Unfinished Business

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 6, 2008 14 Comments

When Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, not only were Democrats rejoicing, but Republicans were seething.  This upstart politician, from the backwoods of Arkansas had defeated the President.  Demoralized him.  Made him look like a weakling and a dolt.  Republicans were mad.  There was unfinished business for them and 4 years had been stolen from […]

Report from the SEU Meeting

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 5, 2008 30 Comments

Things are quiet here at work this week, so I had some time to make it out to the SEU meeting at the Buena Vista Conference Center. I have never been to one of these sorts of meetings before, so I was a bit tentative. Luckily, there were some pretty smart and experienced people on […]

Comment Rescue: Truth Teller Loves Him Some Pandering

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 4, 2008 19 Comments

One of our new commenters, Truth Teller, had a gem in the Hillary-pandering post a few days ago. I noticed that Obama knocked her plan but failed to tell us what his plan. Another great speech but no solutions I love how Truthy wants us to believe that Hillary is all making a proposal that […]

Hillary: She’s Panderific!

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 1, 2008 14 Comments

Yesterday, Donviti had a post about Hillary signing on for the terrible McCain plan of a federal tax holiday on gas for the summer. This is a clear case of the wrong answer to the question. I think it is designed to appeal to Hillary’s base, the uneducated masses. While snarky, it is indeed the […]

How Florida is Useful For the Democrats

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 25, 2008 38 Comments

Florida provides a very interesting case study for us. They were eliminated from being involved in nominating the Democratic Presidential candidate. So to a degree they are an unvarnished example of Hillary’s starting point. None of the candidates campaigned there (except for ads that were run there as a result of some national advertising package). […]

It Looks Like I’m Not The Only One Annoyed

Filed in National by on April 23, 2008 6 Comments

I can take Obama losing Pennsylvania.  I can stomach a 9.4 margin.  I can even accept Hillary looking smug and spewing BS talking points about what her victory in PA meant.  What I have trouble coming to terms with is how the Obama campaign allowed the three Abercrombie and Fitch assholes on the platform last […]

Troll Management

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 21, 2008 14 Comments

From time to time, we bloggers are challenged.  We are confronted with the Internet equivalent of a vandal, or an abuser.  It is at these times that we are forced to decide where the right to free speech is abridged.  Now I am not talking about Dave Burris banning Mike Protack (or his router, for […]
