With the victory of Ciro Rodriguez in TX-23 last night, many have forgot who to really thank. I even forgot, but Kos reminded me. This is the sweet gift of one Tom Delay. His redistricting plan in Texas, which could still land him in jail, was a big winner for Democrats. (Graphic courtesy of […]
The Hammer is now a blogger. He started this weekend inviting comments, then turned them off and now has them back on. One thing that interests me about these right wing bloggers. Why do they never give credit to the actual software they use? I proudly state time and time again that I use WordPress […]
Funny that when Biden says something like this, he gets chastised by the wingnuts. It will of course be different when you got a 2008 GOP Presidential hopeful saying it: Republican presidential hopeful Sam Brownback said Thursday that Iraq must achieve a “political equilibrium” even if means partitioning the country along ethnic lines. “I’m saying, […]

Deborah Pryce yesterday declared victory over Democrat Mary […]
(NOTE: John has returned from his cross country adventure so things are getting back to normal, and normal posting will resume.) According to MSNBC via Raw Story, George Allen is to concede his race this afternoon at 3:00 pm est. This seals the deal on the Senate and we can move forward as a nation […]
This is a very serious question. When you look at the responses today from the GOP over the NYT’s article on the government having nuclear secrets published on the web. Let’s first look at how the publication of this information came to being: Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make […]
I just threw this together, but you get the idea. Perhaps the DNC can getting something close to it on the air before the elections. Update: Kerry has now apologized for his comments: Democratic Sen.
