Sounds like a joke but sadly it is not. Did you know high schools and even middle schools have started using tasers on students? I didn’t. There’s a brewing controversy on this now in Wichita, Kansas, which I learned about from Jake Lowen of the excellent organization Hope Street Youth Development. Here’s the timeline he […]
Plunderbund has a great find up to show how idiotic some of our Republican congressman are here in the Buckeye state.
How depressing is this. It is already 60 degrees here in Southern Ohio and expected to reach the low to mid 70’s today. No I am not trying to be a gloomy Gus on this. I already have the windows open and even been out in the backyard doing some work. I love this time […]

The Republicans are getting called on their continuous rubber stamping for Bush (Christy has the details). What is amazing is the rubber stamp works both ways on this. Not only does Congress use their rubber stamp for Bush, but Bush also uses his rubber stamp for congress. Bush has yet to veto anything. This is […]
