What We Need To Know

June 12, 2009

While extremists dominate our broader public discourse with some of the craziest sh*t I've ever heard….the most important issues of the day are being decided quietly, behind the scenes, without much media coverage or discussion.
Carrie Prejean, former Miss Someone, was in the "news" again yesterday, not because any important news had been made, but because [...]

Lest a new earworm begins gestating in the tone deaf ears of corporate media slugs and conservative "faith basers"…..
NY Times…

Banksters Do Own Congress

May 18, 2009

There is no apparent way for the bankster's jackboot to be removed from the neck of the American population.

Ever since the days of Bill Clinton, however, [...]

Democrat Socialist Party

May 14, 2009

Jebby Bush, Willard Romney and Eric "Can Do" Cantor sat around answering questions of constituents the other weekend explaining how they were "listening" to the American people, to their GOP constituents, as they strategized a plan of comeback for the party which only 21% of Americans now identify with.

Tea Party Babylon

April 15, 2009

When the Biblical Tower of Babel was under construction, as the legendary myth goes, God intervened, (still not sure why), by confusing the languages of the workers so they couldn't continue building. Hard to construct something if the construction workers can't communicate with one another.

April 8, 2009

If you've ever had elementary school-age children in the house, you'll remember times when you had to make sure that your children were, you know, prepared for school. Homework done? Teeth brushed? Boots on? Stuff like that.

OMB Watch…
Sens. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ) are expected to offer an amendment this week to the budget resolution that would sacrifice other priorities to increase the exemption under the estate tax.

GOP Alternative? Same One Trick Pony

April 2, 2009

Last week we were treated to a Laugh-a-thon emceed by John Boehner(R-OH), in which Ohio's Tanned Bonehead lifted up a blue folder and said, "here it is Mr. President." The GOP House minority leader was holding up a non-budget, budget….which included NO numbers, projections, or deficits. A pre-emptive non-budget, budget, as it were…..quite an alternative.

The Boss

March 25, 2009

Ya' know how employees will chatter away about the boss when the boss isn't around? Those chattering employees are oh-so-sure that they know more than the boss and are happy to explain to fellow workers, whenever the boss is out of earshot, how they would do things differently and how the boss is clueless and [...]
