Unbelievable. Mr Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer. “We were 100 per cent sure,” said Vladimir Kamashev, a surgeon in Izhevsk in the Urals. “We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour. “I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery.” […]

I can’t believe it. Mr. “GET OFF MY PHOOOO-OOOONE!!!” himself had a moment of lucidity, sanity and understanding on his television show yesterday. Who is this impostor and what have you done with Glenn Beck?! The piece was about Henry Louis Gates. Beck had on David Horowitz who basically blamed the entire episode on Gates himself. Beck actually stood up […]

The conservative news outlet, Newsmax, has a “report” out today with the following headline: Experts: Obama’s ‘Public Option’ Insurance Will Abandon 100 Million Citizens Up to 100 million people would lose their current healthcare plan within the next three years if Congress passes the “public option” health bill now making its way through Congress, policy experts tell Newsmax. Defections on […]

Mrs. E and I have been organic gardening together for about seven years and recently moved to a new home with an acre of land about three years ago. We now have a very nice garden, 100% organic, lush and productive. We preserve an amazing amount of food from it and, every week of the year, we eat at least […]

You’ll love this. Yesterday Glenn Beck interviewed Michael Scheuer, the former head of the Osama bin Laden unit under Clinton and Bush II. He’s so distraught over the final domino tumbling (60 Democratic Senators in Congress, Yippee!!!) that he wishes the terrorists would attack the USA. “The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin […]

Such good, good news. Norm Coleman did the gracious thing by bowing out after a scant eight fucking months of court challenges. What a righteous dude. Fucker. Watching this makes me feel all better, though. I’m just sayin’…

This kind of thing is why I don’t go to church anymore. No, most churches aren’t this asinine, this completely oblivious to how far away from the true Word of Jesus Christ they are. But the fact that organized Christianity has this element in it makes it all too clear just how much a false construct the church is. Pastor […]

As you’re probably aware by now, the Supreme Court yesterday ruled in the RICCI ET AL. v. DESTEFANO ET AL case, overturning a decision by Sonia Sotomayor. I’ll leave it to others to debate the pros and cons, goods and bads of this decision – I don’t have enough knowledge of the law in this area to express an opinion. […]

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos. Yesterday I participated in our local Organizing For America (OFA) National Health Care Day of Service in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area. Our event was a health care fair where we brought together various agencies in the region to help people without health care find resources to help them with their situation. I spent part of […]

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos. For several days now I’ve been expressing my disgust at Governor Mark Sanford. According to his wife, Jenny, they were in a trial separation to help “strengthen their marriage” and then, less than a week later, off he goes to Argentina to be with his squeeze. Chances of their marriage succeeding after he pulls that […]

Burger King is the place to go if you want to get (your mind) blown. Ad text: “Fill your desire for something long, juicy and flame-grilled with the NEW BK SUPER SEVEN INCHER. Yearn for more after you taste the mind-blowing burger that comes with a single beef patty, topped with American cheese, crispy onions and the A1 Thick and […]
