CPAC Childish Behavior Separates the Boys from the Girls
Aren’t they adorable! The Washington Scene reports that this year’s CPAC will prominently feature a Nancy Pelosi piñata and a Harry Reid punching bag for guests to take turns beating Boringly predictable, but I simply adored this next line – because it says so much! “We’re hoping to have the females whack the piñata and […]
Climate Change = Weird Weather
Funny how last weeks snow storms were all the rage on Right blogs while not a word was uttered concerning the unseasonably warm weather in Vancouver. Typically Republican. And while I think Thomas Friedman’s NYT Op-Ed is a step in the right direction I doubt it will change any minds on the Right – mainly […]
It Was Only A Matter Of Time
Before we started seeing this: Out of curiosity, on what grounds would one impeach Obama? Also, love the fact that the sponsors remained anonymous. Cowards.
Snow Days
I drove my daughter to school this morning and the entire time I was thinking… why are schools open? For while the main roads are clear the side roads are a rutted mess of ice which turned my normally 10 minute round-trip into a harrowing 35 minute keep-my-wits-about-me experience. There’s no doubt about it. The […]
Utah Considering Plan To Make 12th Grade… Optional
Is it any wonder we have an education problem? The sudden buzz over the relative value of senior year stems from a recent proposal by state Sen. Chris Buttars that Utah make a dent in its budget gap by eliminating the 12th grade… …Buttars has since toned down the idea, suggesting instead that senior year […]
Funny Friday
Guess I’m just in a mood today, but this made me LOL! Edukashun fale. Spelling is not the Right’s strong suit. Very embarrassing.
For Your Amusement – If You Have A Sense Of Humor
This made me laugh. And before someone has a fit, let me say… Yeah, I know I’m burning and I’m A-Okay with that.
Breaking: President Clinton Hospitalized
Via TPM: We have very little information so far. But President Clinton was hospitalized at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital this afternoon. It’s not clear whether it was on an emergency basis or not. But we have unconfirmed reports that it was for a heart related procedure. Just heard this on MSNBC as well. Hope all is […]
Palin Couldn’t Pass A Literacy Test
When I was in high school and faced with an essay question I couldn’t begin to answer my standard response was to fill up the paper with enough nonsense in the hope that I’d accidentally hit upon some point that would save me. It rarely worked. That said, take a look at this exchange between […]
It Shouldn’t Matter, But I Bet It Will – Prop 8 Judge Outed
Via kos: The biggest open secret in the landmark trial over same-sex marriage being heard in San Francisco is that the federal judge who will decide the case, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, is himself gay. Screams of outrage from the Right in five… four… three… Never mind that Judge Walker was assigned the […]
Ho Hum
FYI: It’s snowing… again. Really cool time-lapsed video of snow piling up during the last storm! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMhUZAq5IxQ[/youtube]
When The Punishment Doesn’t Fit The Crime, Or… It’s The Over-Reaction, Stupid
Doodling on a school desk is wrong. Hauling a 12 year old girl out of school in handcuffs for doodling her name on her desk in erasable marker is worse. Alexa Gonzalez was scribbling a few words on her desk Monday while waiting for her Spanish teacher to pass out homework at Junior High School […]
