1) Thank God Barack Obama is the President and not some idiot Republican. 2) As the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) takes steps to deal with this crisis, the DHHS cabinet secretary confirmation is being held up by Republican abortion ideologues. Thanks Republicans!

The Wilmington Delaware Riverfront was host to one of the four “TEA” Parties going on in the state. It was nothing more than a two and a half hour therapy session that had Republican speaker after Republican speaker yap and complain about spending, socialism and pork. One after another they proved they know nothing about […]

Teabagging Day!  Bet They Wish They Had Thought of Loose Tea

Now, it is also Tax Day, so make sure that you have completed your Taxes and sent them in before you get involved with any Teabagging activities.  Somehow I don’t think that the IRS will take your Teabagging Events as a serious reason to not file.  So here we go: This is what these guys […]

President Obama’s Rather Remarkable Address

Filed in National by on April 14, 2009 6 Comments

I’ve been trying to think of what to say about Barack Obama’s economic speech today and have decided not to say anything except to tell you all to read it. The whole thing. Even though it’s long. It is not inspiring, except for the fact that the President of the United States is speaking to […]

Countdown — One More Day Until the World’s Biggest Teabagging

Filed in National by on April 14, 2009 8 Comments

One more day until the big event — and one more day to ponder the sheer hypocrisy of these tea party events.  One of the things I notice over the past week or ten days is how fast the folks trying to put this on are trying to re-spin the purpose of this thing.  They […]

The Obamas get a dog and the newspapers write the obligatory “pet” articles. Pastor Warren is too exhausted to talk.  Hey, maybe miracles really do happen! And it’s really a good thing we don’t have big problems or we wouldn’t have time to worry about important things. Meanwhile, Dobson admits defeat in the culture wars. […]

Walking the Walk: Feds to Purchase Fuel-Efficient Cars from U. S. Companies

Filed in National by on April 10, 2009 4 Comments

‘Bulo hates to link to the charlatans at CNBC, but that’s where he found this story. Granted, it’s a small drop in the bucket, and granted, in some ways, it’s a symbolic gesture, but still this policy provides legitimate assistance to the auto companies, reduces gasoline consumption, and sets an example for people to buy […]
