Makes No Sense

November 6, 2009

Liberal ideas…truly liberal ideas…..are rarely ever considered by Congress. The reason is that liberal ideas, somehow, are never worthy enough to be called American….even though the strength and character of America was built primarily on liberal ideas.
Take, for example, the liberal idea on health care reform. The liberal idea on health care reform is single-payer [...]

Tear The House Down

November 5, 2009

As it is now, the more extreme portion of the GOP has decided to go after any candidate who smells of moderation or practices the evil art of compromise.
The Palin, FreedomWorks-Dick Armey, crazed conservative media morons, and, of course, the Tea Partiers, themselves, decided that some goddamn nut, Doug Hoffman, should push the more moderate [...]

The TeaParty-Party

November 3, 2009

I must say something about the congessional race in New York's 23rd district. There's something twisted about what's happening in that race, expected now to be won by the outside-the-district, conservative party guy, Doug Hoffman. Steve Benen brings up some interesting points about the amount of attention that is being given to the New York [...]

How FOX Distorts

November 1, 2009

It says something about a free nation when truth can only be told using comedy as a frame. Reminds me of how blacks were first introduced into television. While no major, mainstream, corporate-whore media members examined the 800 pound gorilla question in the room…."Is FOX a news organization?"…..Jon Stewart quickly went to work answering that, [...]

Lies, Freaks and Videotapes

October 29, 2009

Remember back in May of this year when the tender and delicate feelings of some Republicans were bruised when Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this….
Pelosi said that she was explicitly told in her September 2002 briefing that waterboarding was not used. We've since learned that Abu Zubaydah had been waterboarded 83 times by then.
She accused the [...]

FOX Is Not A News Organization

October 24, 2009

From Media Matters via Youtube…..

Those month by month clips, just a few of many, clearly demonstrate the bias being spewed by FOX. Before last November's election, FOX's bias for McCain-Palin was apparent. After Obama's victory, FOX's bias against Obama……also apparent.
Those are not the characteristics of a news organization. Those are the characteristics of a Republican [...]

Ain't That Tough Enough?

October 22, 2009

The Fabulous Thunderbirds, one of my favorite contemporary blues groups, made the song my blog title rips off famous back in the 90's. I entitle my post with it today because of the schizophrenic messages coming from conservative and Villager voices over the 10-months-in-office President Obama.
Here's what I mean.
If you click here, and review [...]

The Mighty Newton

October 20, 2009

The comedy show continues….

I realize that Newt Gingrich is considered to be a bonafide, certified, conservative intellectual…..a master GOP sharpie….the Republican go-to guy for "ideas."
So, I'm thinking Newt thinks, because he is just so smart and full of, like, ideas, that Republicans are going to take back the House and the Senate next year. What [...]

I Got Your "Heavy Lift" Right Here

October 16, 2009

Some stuff about the media I've been pondering.
For the last week I've been tormenting myself by listening to AM radio while driving. Don't ask me why.
I admit, it's been awhile since I tuned AM. What I've been hearing, while not shocking, is still depressing.
Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh are all there on [...]

Health Care Reform Debate: Just Starting

October 13, 2009

I've purposely avoided writing very much about the alleged debate allegedly going on over health care reform. As I see it, up til now, we haven't been debating anything. However, now with President Max Baucus' (D-MT) immaculately-conceived version of health reform coming up for a vote today in his Senate Finance Committee, we're getting closer [...]
