The President’s speech from the Oval Office was a major failure in my view. He missed a golden opportunity to really hit one out of the park. A good example is talking about the clean energy bill, yet he did not use the power of his office and speech to urge Senate to pass it. […]
Remember last month how the GOP constantly said cameras should be rolling during health care negotiations? Now that there’s a chance for that, well look at what’s happening: Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) today echoed Rep. John Boehner’s (R-OH) supposed concern that televising President Obama’s bipartisan health care reform summit would turn it into a “media […]
This tweet from Luke Russert seems to indicate so: GOP aides telling me it was a mistake to allow cameras into Obama’s QA with GOP members. Allowed BO to refute GOP for 1.5 hours on TV It might have been a mistake politically for the GOP, but it was a big win for America. It’s […]
If you head to one of Sarah Palin’s book tours and want to get your picture taken with her then be prepared to fork over some bucks. It turns out that you aren’t allowed to have cameras or cellphones near her. A spokesman for Palin’s book tour said the crowd wouldn’t be allowed to take […]
Every time a microphone finds its way in front of Sarah Palin, you can be assured some crazy talk will transpire. She has essentially become the conspiracy theorist of the GOP: Sarah Palin didn’t allow press at her speech Friday at a Wisconsin Right to Life fundraising banquet, and attendees were barred from bringing cell […]
That’s exactly what the GOP is planning to do. They are hoping everyone suffers a sudden case of amnesia over the deadly response to Katrina and this will make everything better. Of course we all know the real issue. George Bush allowed cronyism to take over inside the government and that poor judgment, a Republican […]
The talk on Morning Joe is about what a great speech John Kerry delivered last night, in which I must agree. It was one of the best speeches of the convention and one he should have done four years ago. The problem is that none of the networks covered this great speech. So who is […]
Small White Butterfly Originally uploaded by intoxination Another macro shot I took yesterday, as this little, white butterfly was feeding away. On a related Flickr note, if you are running Firefox 3 (and you should be), it now supports color management. This is a great feature for viewing images on the web, especially ones from […]
Another story has emerged of police using excessive force, this time in Florida: Former teacher Paul King says he used to be one of those people who said lock ’em up throw away the key. However King has changed his mind since being arrested on public intoxication last July. A video shows deputies pushed him […]
One thing that really stood out at me was when Bush said he was offering the truth by letting Miers and Rove talk to Congress. How can he justify that statement if he refuses to let them do so under oath? You know we are in a dangerous place when the President can continue to […]
