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 [...]

NRA Telephone Survey (Oct 2009)

PartiallyBlue — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:12:34 +0000

This Sunday afternoon I received a phone call from a woman asking if I would answer a one-question survey about the Second Amendment. I said, “yes”. The caller asked me to listen to a recorded comment by Wayne LaPierre from the NRA.

(I may not have this exactly right and if any of you [...]

Politics certainly makes for strange bedfellows…

In what has to be one of the strangest ideas I’ve ever read, a John Coale, a Washington-area Democratic donor and onetime adviser to Sarah Palin, urged Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to use her political action committee to help retire the presidential campaign debt of Hillary Clinton:

Coale, a wealthy trial attorney and [...]

A few of the funniest ads of the 2008 presidential campaign

Zach — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:07:15 +0000

I know the 2008 presidential campaign is long over, but as I happened to be surfing the intertubes, I came across a few ads that I think were some of the funniest ones that aired:

Feingold: Give appointment powers to the people

Zach — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 23:37:33 +0000

In the wake of the controversial selection of Kirsten Gillibrand to fill Hillary Clinton’s U.S. Senate seat and the decision by embattled Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to name Roland Burris to President Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat, Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold announced plans to introduce an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would require [...]

Tuesday randomness

Just a few things that caught my eye:

David Gregory has been named as Tim Russert’s replacement on ‘Meet the Press.’ I think David Gregory is an excellent choice to carry on the tradition of tough, smart, but fair moderating on ‘Meet the Press,’ and I think he’s a more than worthy successor to [...]

Clinton to SoS unConstitutional?

Zach — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:01:49 +0000

According to the LA Times’ Top of the Ticket blog, president-elect Barack Obama’s choice of Senator Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State may not be Constitutional due to this clause in Article One, Section Six of the U.S. Constitution (emphasis mine):

“No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was [...]

Obama’s Cabinet

Zach — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 01:21:56 +0000

I’m going to go ahead and make a few predictions on who will end up in president-elect Barack Obama’s Cabinet. I won’t be predicting who’ll end up in some of the more obscure Cabinet positions like Interior, Commerce, and HUD (to name a few), simply because I’m not terribly interested in who might end [...]

Obama & Crew Celebrate McCain Selecting Palin

Looks like they’re having a grand old time, too!

Unfortunately, there’s no audio, which would undoubtedly make a funny clip even funnier.

Random Thoughts From the DNC Convention

Zach — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 03:19:45 +0000

NIGHT 1: First thought – there’s a reason these folks aren’t speaking in prime time. Boy, there’s some really terrible public speakers in the group, and it makes me wonder how some of these folks got elected to public office.

Next thought – Alexi Giannoulias (Illinois State Treasurer) might be the exception. He gave [...]
