Oh for fuck sakes! Honestly I’m in the boat of “who cares”. People are going to hear the word, so why keep trying to hide it. I’m sure we can except some outrage from the fundamentalists though. You know, the same people who just turned the other cheek when Cheney used the word.
It was originally scheduled for 7pm on Christmas eve, but has been moved up by 11 hours to 8am on Christmas eve. My only guess is that the Republicans gave in, which will certainly cause some outrage from the right.
The saga of Tiger Woods keeps getting more interesting: A Florida highway patrol request for blood tests of Tiger Woods the morning of his accident was denied. The development comes with suspicions he was driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. I bet the judge who refused this subpoena was worried about some kind […]
I reported about the outrage of Tuesday night’s address by President Obama upsetting some because it was at the same time as A Charlie Brown Christmas. Well Russell Wiseman, the mayor of Arlington Tennessee has taken it to an even more extreme level: In the opinion of Arlington Mayor Russell Wiseman, President Barack Obama’s speech […]

It was written by healthcare lobbyists, so that’s not a surprise. It’s an outrage. Now those are some harsh words, and I mean […]
Last week I posted about how minority leader John Boehner wasn’t holding any town halls. Well it appears he has now decided to change course. And just check out where: House Minority Leader John Boehner has agreed to answer questions in a town hall setting at the Voice of America Freedom Rally on Sept. 5 […]
On Monday I floated the idea that the mixed messages from the White House with regards to the public option could have been more or less planned. Maybe the White House was hoping to get this out there in order to help fire up the base. It appears that this may actually be happening: Noam […]
It’s bad enough that these sparks of outrage and disruptions at townhalls about healthcare are being pushed by major lobbying companies and the insurance companies, but I think there is something even more disturbing there.
