Larisa has uncovered some very disturbing posts by the right wing crazies: I was going to add this as an update to my earlier post, but thought it deserved its own post. Apparently, some glue-sniffing types are hoping that our own military will be inspired by the Honduras coup to overthrow our own president in […]
As my long time readers know I am big into CG effects. I have even done some work in 3D computer graphics and modeling, so it should come as no shock that I had to go see Transformers 2 when it came out. I really liked the first one, so anxiously awaited the sequel. Heading […]
I don’t condone the attacks on children of politicians. I really think it isn’t right, but that’s just me. I can see other people getting into it and even having some Photoshop fun. But just as attacking the children is wrong, so is using them for political cover. How often did we see the Obama […]
I’m still catching up on all the news of Honduras, but I found this article to not be that newsworthy: The Obama administration worked in recent days to prevent President Manuel Zelaya’s ouster, said a senior U.S. official. The State Department, in particular, communicated to Honduran officials on the ground that President Barack Obama wouldn’t […]
Chris Cillizza thinks we could be seeing the emergence of a new Republican Leader in Lindsey Graham: Graham, who spent the 2008 election cycle as Sen. John McCain‘s loyal sidekick, appeared alongside former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the GOP frontrunner in advance of 2012, and managed to stand out. Why? Because unlike other Republicans who […]
Judge Richard Posner thinks that should be the case: Expanding copyright law to bar online access to copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent, or to bar linking to or paraphrasing copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent . . . What Posner is arguing is insane. Basically he is saying that if I want […]
I find it very interesting that Mark Sanford is now equating himself to King David: I have been doing a lot of soul searching on that front. What I find interesting is the story of David, and the way in which he fell mightily, he fell in very very significant ways. But then picked up […]
There is no argument that when it comes to our politicians and their little sexcapades we have a double standard in this nation – a standard clearly divided amongst party lines. Take John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Elliot Spitzer or Jim McGreevey. These four Democrats suffered severely for their extramarital affairs. One was impeached, two were […]
We all knew this was coming, but now its official: Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers pleaded guilty this morning to conspiring to commit bribery and is free on personal bond. U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn said, “The defendant now stands convicted.” The one count of conspiring to commit bribery is punishable for […]
Childish crap like this helps no one: After the House floor had largely cleared following a series of votes, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) split apart from a heated conversation and began yelling at one another. “You’re out of line,” Waters shot while walking down toward the well. “You’re out […]
