The Republican War on Women Redux

The Akins spectacle serves to remind women everywhere about the GOP War on Women -- the one they claim isn't happening -- and further opens the curtain on the undercurrent of lies and misinformation designed to create the fear and loathing that only serves this far right wing's destructive tendencies.

Dear President Obama and the DNC: If you know what's good for you, you'd air this in its entirety during the Democratic Convention. This verse is fun and creative by Mr. Ralph Maxwell, a 92-year old Minnesotan who delivers the smackdown to Rmoney with style and grace:

More Wilmington Mayor Debates

There are two more debates and then I think that we're done with debates before the primary. I think that the candidates are tired of this process, but so farr, all of the debates have been really well attended -- a good indicator of the level of interest in this election. So the next two:

Monday Open Thread [8.20.12]

By cassandra_m August 20, 20129 Comments

Another Monday. Lots of press overdrive re: Todd Akin and this time largely driven by his compatriots who have apparently found a line that conservatives should not cross. But the most important thing today is that Matt Denn is kicking off his re-election campaign, making the usual 3-county announcement. Go out and support him if you can
