I really really really want to like Dave Westlake…

I just wish he wouldn’t make it so hard. I have never met Mr. Westlake, and he seems by all accounts to be a very nice person. I also fully respect the campaign he has run(although I dont understand how he can do it), but getting out and meeting people and being willing to [...]

taxed enough already….Old School!

The “tea” parties were an annual event that with enough money from with enough money from the Koch Brothers, and an aggressive free PR campaign from Fox \”news\”, and it seems like these collections of loons are popping up everywhere like dandelions in the spring. We even had The rodeo clown glen beck, draw [...]

Priceless…

This is one of the best political ads I have seen. WIth all of the talk about the dangers of Nancy Pelosi, I dont think that there is any doubt, that she is head and shoulders more qualified than her predecessor, or the orange guy who might take her place….

“Rounds of golf: 100 [...]

unfortunately more on the “mosque”…

Recently there was huge discussion on this very blog, and joined in by many of our right wing friends decrying the horror of putting the Mosque up on Ground Zero. As usual, our right wing friends were not being truthful, and we find out that the Mosque isnt a Mosque, but a community center. [...]

Yea but George Soros…

In the 90′s the republican party could not stand the fact that they no longer had the presidency, so the billionaires of the party(Richard Mellon Scaife), started the Arkansas Project, strictly to discredit Bill Clinton. The whole time, in order to distract from what they were doing, complained about the one liberal billionaire, George [...]

Unfortunately, it is not out of the realm of possibility…

A quick browse of the Huffington Post and my eye caught this story. After a nice belly laugh, I started looking elsewhere on the page and came across these stories also:

It was symbolic when the six Republican candidates for U.S. Senate stood up together side-by-side during a debate Wednesday. It resembled their [...]

I Rest My Case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For months now I have been having fun pointing out the ridiculousness of the “tea” parties. From the fact that the original tea party was to protest a corporate tax cut, to the fact that Big Government millionaires Paul Ryan and Tommy Thompson have been headline speakers, to their beginning of funding and organizing [...]

Congrats Chelsea BUT…….

Something is seriously wrong with our system. When we have very well paid government officials(the president makes $400,000 a year plus expenses, the governor of WI makes $136,000 yearly.) waiting until they get out of office so they can cash in. As Tommy Thompson so succinctly put it “”Everybody knows I was broke when [...]

Opinion: Time for septu-, octo-, nona- and cente- age limits

It is time for age limits to be imposed on those seeking to represent the American people. When one reaches their late septuagenarian, octogenarian, nonagenarian or centenarian status it is time to step down and let younger, healthier, more energetic, more socially aware and tech savvy people fight to win your seat.
