Vick Cops a Plea

Filed in National by on August 20, 2007 0 Comments

Michael Vick has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges around the dogfighting business that he has been linked to. This leaves a few unanswered questions. Does this improve the chances of the Eagles winning the Super Bowl (so Jason will come back to blogging sooner;))? Should we refer to his behavior as “Slaughtering Snoopy,” […]

Reports From the Front (It Ain’t Pretty)

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 19, 2007 17 Comments

Seven enlisted men recently back from Iraq have penned an Op-Ed in the New York Times. Their take is a compelling read and it breaks my heart to think that we are sending more an more soldiers to fight in this FUBAR war, including David Anderson and Beau Biden. we are skeptical of recent press […]

Around the Horn Friday: Outside the Perimeter Edition

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 18, 2007 6 Comments

The following is a guest post from a fellow blogger that wishes to remain nameless (although if you are paying attention, I bet you can figure it out). I am deeply appreciative for the break and happy with the results. No one can take the place of Around the Horn. It is a classic. Just […]

Around the Horn Friday Delayed (Good Reason?)

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 17, 2007 1 Comment

Today was my last day at my old job, so I have spent the day cleaning up 8+ years of junk.  The end result is that my laptop has been turned in, cutting down on my access slightly.  Also, I have spent the evening preparing to talk with Hub and Dace on WILM tomorrow.  I’ll […]

Around the Horn Friday: Cranky Republicans Edition

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 10, 2007 4 Comments

This was a big week on the other side of the aisle.  We thought the race for the Democratic Gubernatorial candidacy was going to be interesting.  The Republicans are doing one better.  I’ll not get too deep into it, but make yourself a nice drink and wear comfortable clothes when you go over to FSP […]

Republicans For Obama

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 9, 2007 8 Comments

There is an interesting Iowa poll out now.  If the election were held today the third most popular choice for Republicans in Iowa is Barack Obama.  He beat out Thompson and McCain.  Only Flipp and Rudy outdid Obama.  This bodes well for Obama’s cross-over vote.  It bodes ill for those people that were pouring their […]

OK, so I am the geek around here, so I need to step up. Here is what I have found laying around here relative to the FSP post about the Protack-“GOP Vision” connection. I am looking through our logs and can confirm a connection. The IP address in question has had several posts originate from […]

Big shout out to Jason for covering for me a few times in the past few weeks. I wish I could say I was on vacation, but rather I was working my ass off. I probably won’t be around this weekend either, as I am headin’ down to the Virgin Festival for some sweet sounds. […]

Bush Violates His Own Executive Order

Filed in Uncategorized by on July 30, 2007 1 Comment

It didn’t take long for W to violate his own order to seize property of persons or entities that undermine our efforts in Iraq.  Well, one of the most destabilizing forces in Iraq these days appears to be Saudi Arabia.  So how do we punish them?  Military strikes?  Freeze assets?  Speak ill of their Mothers?  […]

What Motivates Gonzo to Stay?

Filed in Uncategorized by on July 30, 2007 60 Comments

I have been pondering this question for a few weeks now (when I haven’t been too exhausted to think…).  This isn’t a pleasant experience for Gonzo.  He has been called a liar, a lap dog, an idiot and several other terms that are more derogatory.  So why doesn’t he quit?  Why doesn’t Bush tell him […]

NOTE: I did not get a chance to watch this when geek posted it this week. Please take 7 minutes out of your day today to watch. I don’t know what else to say. Just watch this 7 minute video. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFC0SPz1L4Y] Another example of how the media isn’t covering our military building soccer fields or […]

Another Overreaching Executive Order

Filed in Uncategorized by on July 19, 2007 8 Comments

I just recently saw the new Harry Potter movie. One if the themes of that book and movie is the corruption of absolute power. A wicked woman was given full authority to make up whatever stupid rule that she deemed necessary for success, no matter the consequences. Our moron-in-chief has done some decidin’. He has […]
