Having read numerous blog entries, articles and diaries on Daily Kos about hippy punching and whining prohibitions and bucking up demands I have become convinced and hereby issue this firm directive to all “base” Democrats: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, VOTE FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA OR JOE ROBINETTE BIDEN, JR. ON NOVEMBER 2ND, 2010. If you do, you will be […]

I knew this was one of the top most-contested races in the country but I didn’t realize just how competitive it was until I learned THIS about the National Republican Congressional Committee’s (NRCC) financial investment in it: The NRCC is going on the air in more than 30 districts on Monday, seeking bring the fight to Democrats in many competitive […]

Via Think Progress. Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, John Boehner showed his contempt for the American electorate by suggesting that they are not ready for solutions to the large issues affecting this country. Host Chris Wallace asked him directly why there are no references at all to solving the big issues of entitlements in the USA which account for upwards […]

Honestly, with all I know about Tim Walberg, Republican Tea Party candidate for MI-07, this shouldn’t surprise me. But … well … it does. Because as wrong-headed and bad for this state as Tim Walberg is, I never thought he was a complete and utter fool. Now he has gone and opened his mouth to, as they say, remove all […]

Caught this with my iPhone while harvesting broccoli tonight. I’m just sayin’…

As seen in Pinckney, Michigan: I’m just sayin’…

What the hell is it with conservative Republicans and their violent rhetoric?

You may recall my blog a few weeks ago titled Tim Walberg is for privatizing social security WHILE he’s against it. MI-07 Republican candidate Tim Walberg wasn’t for privatizing social security BEFORE he was against it, he is for privatizing security WHILE he is against it. Seriously. First, we have this press release from the Walberg campaign which came out […]

I’m just sayin’… Giving my wife props for the idea for this blog entry. It’s time we changed the meme and change how we talk about the teabaggers. There is no “Tea Party” in the USA, not as a political party. There may be a bunch of clubs scattered around the country, groups of like-minded mostly-white, mostly-bigoted, super conservative no-brainers […]

Last month, our good friend poblano Nate Silver gave Rodney Glassman only a 1.5% chance of beating Grandpa Senator McCain. But that was before the latest Rasmussen poll came out. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds McCain earning 51% of the vote to Democrat Rodney Glassman’s 37%, his best showing to date. Seven […]

Less than 60 days, folks. That’s what we have left to get this done and prevent the GOPosaurs from shutting down Congress for the next two years. Don’t like Obama? Don’t like the Blue Dogs? Don’t like {fill in the blank}? Fine. I’m with ya on some of it. But right now is decidedly NOT the time to stand on […]
