yes we are

August 29, 2008 – 8:57 am

America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
This country is more decent than one where a woman in Ohio, on the brink of retirement, finds herself one illness away from disaster after a lifetime of hard work.
We’re a better country than one where a man in Indiana [...]

unacceptable

August 27, 2008 – 9:26 am

Nobody seems surprised. Not the physicians and therapists who treat returning veterans. Not the veterans themselves.
When told of recent data that appears to show that Oregon troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are more likely to die of suicide than in combat, they nod their heads, as if saying they’ve known all along.
…
The numbers are [...]

eh

Yes, Joe Biden has the brain and mouth to take on whoever McCain picks as VP (and to slap down this year’s swift boaters), and no, VPs don’t make policy, but if anything could telegraph Obama’s essential centrism, Biden’s the guy.
Some of Joe’s greatest hits:
On his support for the Iraq War vote:
I will vote for [...]

don’t touch it

August 19, 2008 – 12:07 pm

I fear and loathe John McCain as much as the next progressive, but I get a very bad feeling when I hear Thom Hartmann, dday et al. going on about the things McCain supposedly did while a POW (signing a confession, recording a propaganda film 4 days after his capture, etc.), and the things which [...]

what do you think the convention’s tribute payment to hrh hrc should be?

August 18, 2008 – 12:51 pm

This roll call is bullshit. Can you imagine what Bill and the PUMAs would say if Hillary was the nominee and Obama asked for a voice vote at the Convention?
“Not no, Fuck No. And fuck YOU.”
I say boilermakers all around, a toast to the first runner-up, and then on with the show.

debatable

August 18, 2008 – 12:48 pm

Here are the questions I would like to see Obama and McCain have to answer in the debates this fall:
To OBAMA:
George Bush has held up release of the presidential papers of both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. If you are elected President, would you, as one of your first acts in office, order [...]

i just threw up in my mouth a little bit

August 15, 2008 – 12:17 pm

If I could pray, I would pray that is is just more Obama misdirection:
Word has reached me that at Barack Obama’s Hawaii retreat, Evan Bayh’s chances to find himself the next Democratic VP candidate have moved to better than 50/50.
The conflict between Georgia and Russia has been one of several factors that has helped boost [...]

prideful dumbshittery

August 8, 2008 – 12:12 pm

Krugman hits the Neanderthal on the head:
…[K]now-nothingism — the insistence that there are simple, brute-force, instant-gratification answers to every problem, and that there’s something effeminate and weak about anyone who suggests otherwise — has become the core of Republican policy and political strategy. The party’s de facto slogan has become: “Real men don’t think things [...]

don’t forget tomorrow’s moneybomb for strangebedfellows

August 7, 2008 – 11:18 am

August 8, 2008—this is the date for our Strangebedfellows MONEYBOMB on behalf of constitutional rights and civil liberties in America. Let’s remove from power the key enablers of the tyrannical and lawless FISA ‘compromise;’ we can end the Patriot Act—and so much more.
…
Strangebedfellows is a unique and diverse left–right coalition which has come together to [...]
