This has to be one of the worst smears in the history of smears: In one of the most cynical displays in recent memory, following the lead of Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft, several conservative websites – including Fox Nation and MRC arm CNS News – suggested that President Obama lied last night when he said […]
It was 30 years ago today that eleven young people were trampled to death while trying to get in to see The Who in concert in Cincinnati. The main cause of the tragedy was “stadium seating”, where patrons got their seats on a first come first serve basis. It lead the way to Cincinnati imposing […]
A story being pushed by Drudge is about tonight’s address by President Obama and how it conflicts with ABC showing A Charlie Brown Christmas. I’m sure this will be taken by people like O’Reilly as a massive first strike in the War on Christmas. Luckily the tragedy has been adverted as ABC has rescheduled the […]
In an absolute display of disrespect to the soldiers who were injured and died at the Ft. Hood massacre a Tea Party supporter uses the tragedy to make a threat: A woman who allegedly threatened the Times Herald of Port Huron, Mich., saying she would take a gun to the newspaper and “do what they […]
Given the Ft. Hood tragedy, a bill authored by Richard Burr (R-NC) is coming into light: Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) says his “Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act” will protect veterans’ gun rights. But the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence calls it a “dangerous” proposal that could allow “over 100,000 mentally incapacitated or incompetent persons” […]

I get so tired of hearing right wingers say that people in foreclosure should loose their homes because they “got in over their heads”. It’s a typical right wing ploy of “blaming the victim”. A couple week ago I posted about our soldiers facing foreclosure, simply because they had the audacity to go and fight […]
As most, I spent a lot of time yesterday watching the miracle that was flight 1549. Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot of the plane, is a hero to the end for his handling of the disaster at 3,000 feet. Something that I did notice while checking out blogosphere coverage of the near tragedy was […]
Saxby Chambliss has just given Democrats some good ammo for the run-off: Saxby Chambliss is resisting an order to give evidence in a lawsuit by families of victims killed or hurt in the Imperial Sugar Co. explosions and fire earlier this year. The U.S. senator was subpoenaed last month on behalf of four victims – […]
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 […]
