Even now as I search for an agent or a publisher for my latest novel, “Deep Brain Diary — My Life as a Guy with Parkinson’s Disease and Brain Surgery Volunteer,” I see that I am already immortal.
When I first heard of “Google Books”, I knew their aim was to ensure that they had practically [...]
Oh, how conservatives hate government spending. It’s all you hear from the conservatives and their teabagger ilk! Cut gubbermint spending! Quit bankrupting our childrens’ future! No more socialism! No more taxes! Cut Spending! Cut Spending! Cut Spending. Conservatives really HATE “big government” and want to cut spending on it…
Except…
Rank-and-file conservatives actually like big government. [...]
Progressive agenda? What happened?
It’s your fault.
It’s not my fault.
It’s your fault.
I couldn’t be more upset about this.
You let us down by not being doing the thing I wanted you to do.
You let us down by criticizing our leader for not doing enough.
You’re giving aid and comfort to the enemy when you support bipartisanship.
You’re helping the [...]
Bye-Bye Bayh!
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Indiana) has decided he doesn’t like the politics game anymore, so he’s going home.
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Indiana, announced Monday afternoon that he will not seek a third term in the Senate – a major blow to Democrats worried about losses in the looming midterm elections.
“Congress is not operating as [...]
It’s a metaphor I’ve used before. Listening to Republicans kvetching about President Obama’s struggle to repair the economy they ruined is a lot like getting barked at by the dogs who crapped on the carpet because you aren’t cleaning it quickly enough.
When one REMINDS the yapping mongrels that there wouldn’t BE crap on the rug [...]
Sometimes a girl needs a little help remembrin’ stuff. And when you’re flush from a full day of mocking President Obama for, among other things, using a teleprompter when giving speeches, sometimes when you’re being asked pre-approved questions at a scripted Q-n-A, you gotta just go back to the old fashioned way of cheating and [...]
I love it.
The GOP House Leadership invited President Obama to come speak with them at their retreat in Baltimore today. They promised to be all respectful and stuff and not hurt his feelings or get in his face. They even agreed to let the TV cameras roll as they engaged the President in a question [...]
Last night, so I’m told, President Obama delivered his first State of the Union address. I didn’t watch it. I was in bed, like most sensible Americans should be at 9 p.m. (Jesus, I’m so old…)
I figgered I could get up in the morning and see what the pundits had to say about it, as [...]
When President George W. Bush was handed a stunning defeat in 2006, losing both houses of the Congress to the Democrats, he told the voters, “I heard your message, and I’m going to listen to you.”
Then… he increased our presence in Iraq, which was the reason he LOST both houses of Congress.
President Obama needs to [...]
In the beautiful state of Massachusetts today, the bluest of blue states. A state that voted for McGovern when the other 49 went for Nixon, the home of Teddy Kennedy, JFK, RFK and Tip O’Neill… they’re going to the polls today. And by all signs they are going to elect someone who stands against everything [...]
When one considers that Republicans support the teabaggers…
And the teabaggers are notorious for carrying racist signs at their racist hate rallies…
One finds it odd that these SAME Republicans are gnashing their teeth and rending their garments over something stupid Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said two years ago.
Should Reid lose his leadership position? Sure! [...]
And now it’s time for “Stupid Things Said By Republicans!”
1. Maybe He Meant “Honest Engine”?
You would think an African American would be a bit more careful in the use of racial slurs. Not GOP Chairman Mikey Steele! He was on the Hannity show explaining why the GOP does NOT need to be more moderate when [...]
I know, I know, it seems like I’m piling on CNN’s Political Ticker site today… But really!
Look at this report of Newt Gingrich, on Bill O’Reilly’s show yesterday, saying Obama cares more about terrorist rights than he does those of Americans.
From my vantage point, it seems like whoever wrote this report watched an episode of “The [...]
GOP Chairman Michael Steele just called President Obama a “hypocrite” for sending his kids to a private school while coming out against vouchers in DC that would give tax money to parents who want to send THEIR kids to private schools.
While everyone with a working frontal lobe knows that this whole “vouchers” thing the GOP [...]
