    Stephen’s Angry Mob Will Crush AIG (click to show/hide Colbert video)

    Howard Dean on Young Turks

    Howard here is wrong on the bailout.  Why is it that Howard Dean and others, among them our Representative Baird, are certain, so so certain, that failure to bailout the bank monopolies guarantees a depression?  Do they have a crystal ball?  Sometimes doing nothing is a solution and the right solution.

    Bank failures do not [...]



    get some camomile tea for that tillerman, would ya?

    Maybe that would calm him down a little bit.

    John McCain can’t believe that Barack Obama could ever be his equal, much less his rival for the Oval Office.

    …essential to an election victory, easily rallied and a dependable source of funds, but not to be considered seriously in any policy decisions. As Evangelicals are mocked [...]



    Clark County activist Michele Cotner dies

    With great sadness I have learned that Michele Cotner died yesterday after a brief hospitalization with a heart related illness.

    I met Michele back in 2003 shortly after moving to this area at a Howard Dean Meetup at the Salmon Creek Brewpub. We both were very disturbed with the direction of our country and the Iraq war.

    Michele was the one that took [...]
