March 6, 2010

Some Americans have an odd view of…well….America.
In the U.S. we have a guaranteed right to a legal defense if we are arrested and charged with a crime. It's a guaranteed right. The American justice system is based on the right of the accused to have legal advocacy.
However, many Americans do not really believe that [...]

CPAC'ers Love Dick

February 19, 2010

Conservatives are meeting this weekend. It's time again for the annual CPAC (conservative political action committee) convention.
If I'm not mistaken, last year's CPAC convention had Rush Limbaugh as it's keynote speaker.
It seems that this year's convention will mark the return of Bush-Cheney to the good graces of the conservative movement, if indeed, they [...]

Republican Pre-Conditions

February 9, 2010

Remember all the noise from neo-conservatives over the thought of President Obama sitting down with….gasp….Iranian leaders?
Remember all those ignorant Villager gotcha questions Obama fielded during the presidential election campaign over…gasp….sitting down with Iranian leaders?
Would pre-conditions have to be met before an American president could….gasp…talk to Iranian leaders? Shouldn't Iranian leaders first meltdown all their nuclear [...]

Telling The Baggers What They Want To Hear

February 8, 2010

As we have witnessed in real time…..ex 1/2 term governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, is an opportunist. Sarah is in it for the money, and perhaps the fame. That's why she quit the governor's job.

February 4, 2010

It started during the 2008 presidential campaign. Republicans exclusively appealing to the radical-right base. Sarah Palin was front and center leading the effort, spewing nonsensical contradictions, ignorant and mistaken sound bites, and wild-eyed wingnut-pleasing mockery of Democrats, specifically Obama.
After the GOP's crushing defeat in that election cycle, I appealed to Republicans to quit talking, you [...]

January 18, 2010

In a Washington Post piece, E.J. Dionne muses about Obama's declining approval numbers and the Massachusetts special election tomorrow to fill Ted Kennedy's vacant senate seat. The piece is worth reading. I'll get to one of his conclusions later in this post.
