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 […]

That pretty much sums up my opinion of the people that run the biggest health insurance companies. Watch this video. It’s testimony from some of these evil reeking piles of greed and dishonesty. If it cuts into their profits, you can be damned sure they’re going to find a way to cut off your insurance. If for no other reason […]

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos. The other day, I had a blog entry about how Goldman Sachs was planning on returning their TARP bailout money this week. My diary was about how they were complaining about operating in “this environment” and how I thought they should STFU and deal with it because intense oversight & scrutiny is their new reality. […]

Cross-posted at Daily Kos. From time to time, it’s “fun” to wade into the slime muck that is the [whispers] Free Republic to see how they are reacting to things. For those that do not know, Free Republic is one the two largest conservative forums on the web. They try desperately to be as relevant as the liberal Daily Kos […]

The Associated Press today is reporting that the top Republicans in Michigan are delaying the spending of Stimulus Package money while they form a “special appropriations committee” to study how best to spend it for a few months. Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop of Rochester said he wants the effort to be bipartisan and include members of the Democrat-led state […]

This goes beyond the bounds of political correctness. This is pure and unadulterated RACISM. Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose is finding himself in hot water after sending out this fake photo of watermelons on President Barack Obama’s White House front lawn. Grose’s email included the heading, “No Easter Egg hunt this year.” Here’s the picture: More HERE. Turns out Grose […]

Wow. For the first time in…forever…Joe Scarborough gets it. Totally gets it. SCARBOROUGH: Chuck, it has been a difficult process. We’ve been very critical of the process. It seems sloppy. It seems that the White House has been off their game. … And then we see a poll like the Gallup Poll that came out yesterday that makes me think […]

Not much to add to the spot-on commentary by Rachel Maddow except to say I would add John “the Douchebag” Boehner to her list of Republicans that are intentionally and harmfully standing in the way of America’s recovery by playing partisan politics to the hilt. And then they blame the president for not being “bipartisan”. This is good and the […]

The GOP (Gratuitous Obstructionist Pissants) are blowing gaskets left and right over the stimulus package being promoted by President Obama and his team. They go on and on and on about how horrible it is. “Research to stop STDs???!” they scream. “Funding the arts???!” they bellow. “Refurbishing the National Mall???!” they yell. “This is just one big pork barrel of […]

Quick! What was the best part of the Bush administration? Did you say September 11, 2001 when nearly 3,000 Americans died in a terrorist attack? Nope, me neither. “Dick” Cheney, on the other hand, totally did. Jesus, the man is evil. Really, truly evil. Highest point? WALLACE: Highest moment the last eight years? CHENEY: Hmmm. Highest moment in the last […]

In my workplace, staffed by adorable lily-white conservative people who have absolutely no clue whatsoever about what it’s like to be poor, much less a discriminated-against minority, one of the most-loved sports is what I call Poor People Bashing. According to the Wonder Bread Crew, the melt-down of the financial markets is due almost entirely to two things: 1. Poor […]
