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 [...]

The “liberal” media…

Recently, to no one’s surprise, Ken Mehlmann, the former Bush-Cheney campaign manager and head of the republican party, came out as gay.

While the story is not that a gay man, helped the bush-cheney campaign run a bigoted anti-gay campaign in order to win election, that story has been played out numerous times. [...]

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. [...]

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:

What’s the matter with Texas? – Riddle & Gommert on “Terrror Babies”

Watch this clip from Anderson Cooper interviewing Texas GOP Representatives Debbie Riddle & Louie Gommert blabbing about “terror babies” being “dropped & trained” for future terror roles. I think there must be something in the water in Texas that generates this kind of drivel. [...]

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 [...]

The Scam of the Flim Flam Man – Paul Ryan

Paul Krugman takes on the Golden Boy of the GOP – Paul Ryan – in today’s New York Times. You can read his column “The Flim Flam Man” here. I thought there were several points worth extracting from the editorial. “But no: as long as someone on the right claims to have bold new proposals, he’s hailed as an innovative thinker. And nobody checks his arithmetic. “Which brings me to the innovative thinker du jour: Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.” “But it’s the audacity of dopes.
