Back around 96-97 I worked for a local plumbing company. We were the largest new construction plumbing company in the greater Cincinnati area, an area seeing a huge boom in new construction at the time. When I started with this company, my job was service technician. I would go to new homes we had done […]
Finally we are starting to see some accountability from the wasted adventure called Iraq: In what could turn out to be the greatest fraud in US history, American authorities have started to investigate the alleged role of senior military officers in the misuse of $125bn (£88bn) in a US -directed effort to reconstruct Iraq after […]
Bipartisanship is another name for date rape –Grover Norquist quoted in the Denver Post 2003. This was right after the Republicans took control of Senate in 2002. It seems back then that the Republicans had no desire for bipartisanship. Something else Norquist said in the same interview: We are trying to change the tones in […]
Something else has changed in a big way this year – my reaction to the righties. Before I used to get pissed at their lies and hate they constantly spewed out, but now it’s funny, albeit in a very sad way. One example of this was the stimulus debate. Republicans opposed it hands down. Pretty […]
Just not on Morning Joe, Scarborough said that Obama’s approval ratings will continue to go up because the stimulus package passed and that makes Obama a winner, and Americans “love winners”. Really? The past two years George Bush was able to get whatever he wanted out of Congress, yet look at his approval rating. Also […]
Bob has found a couple of interesting articles. It turns out back during the last census, the Bush administration made decisions involving the decision that made it so the Census Bureau no longer had the authority to adjust the count. This was after this: [Bush Commerce Secretary Don Evans] Friday issued a rule that makes […]
Oh and they are. They hate this press conference. Let’s look at the wingnut queen Michelle Malkin: Update 8:05pm Eastern. President Obama. “It is only government that can break the vicious cycle.” Jobs, jobs, jobs. Investment, investment, investment. Gag. President Obama claims to be acting on behalf of my children and grandchildren. So talking stimulus […]
Everyone has had to see this graph by now. It’s the one put out by Nancy Pelosi’s people. The blue line is the 1990 recession, red is 2001 and green is current. Just looking at that you start to comprehend the seriousness of the current financial situation. Now let’s consider this. Republicans attribute the Bush […]
I have never been a big gamer, well except for SimCity. That has been the one game I have been hooked on since it first came out 20 years ago. You are the mayor of a city and you have a budget. You decide where the funds go, and what areas get zoned what. If […]
John Ensign just said on Meet the Press that the states aren’t hurting and there won’t be any teacher or firefighter layoffs. That statement right there should qualify right up there with “the foundation of our economy is strong”. The Republicans are clueless to what is happening in the economy and instead want ways to […]
