The Ghost Whisperer
DADT repeal has been a hot topic this year, and surprisingly uncontroversial. The repeal is supported by more than 70% of Americans. John McCain has become one of the leaders in Congress against DADT-repeal.

Thursday Open Thread
It’s Thursday and boy has this week flown by fast. It’s more than halfway over now! So, are you ready for your open thread? Sarah Palin may not be Vice President but she soon may be unavoidable.

More Family Values
How many prominent California Prop 8 supporters have been shown to be huge hypocrites? I’m losing count. There’s the state legislator who bragged about his lobbyist mistress, and Miss California’s sex tapes and now there’s this: It’s no good for a family values Republican to get picked up on a DUI. But substantially worse to […]
Wednesday Open Thread
Welcome to Wednesday. It’s time for your open thread, so let’s get started. What’s worse than bad rap? Bad conservative rap! I love the part when he’s going on about pies. Why?

Health Care Reform By Easter
A Democratic memo was released that laid out the timeline for health care reform. Democrats want to have the bill finished by the Easter recess.

Bunning Relents – Our Long National Nightmare Is Over
Jim Bunning found a flicker of compassion inside of his cold, dead heart: Under increasing pressure from Democrats and members of his own party, Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.)

Aside from intimidating some bank executives, ACORN does not engage in […]
Tuesday Open Thread
Welcome to Tuesday! If we keep getting more of this springlike weather I might start getting used to it. Let’s start our open thread.

Problem Solving 101
Washington, D.C. is the latest area to legalize same-sex marriage and this has caused a problem for Catholic Diocese of Washington. They’ve threatened to quite doing humanitarian work in Washington, D.C. but I guess the backlash and the taxpayer subsidies are too much to pass up. The Catholic diocese of Washington has found a unique […]
The Calorie Tax
We’ve spent a whole year talking about health care reform in our country but have spent very little time talking about lifestyle reform.
