    Random Recitals

    For centuries we have been spoon-fed by our teachers, by our authorities, by our books, our saints. We say, 'Tell me all about it, what lies beyond the hills and the mountains and the earth?' and we are satisfied with their descriptions, which means that we live on words and our life is shallow and empty. We are secondhand people. We have lived on what we have been told, either guided by our inclinations, our tendencies, or compelled to accept by circumstances and environment. We are the result of all kinds of influences and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves; nothing original, pristine, clear.

They cannot stand up to Joe “Kneepads” Lieberman. But they sure as heck can stand up to one of their own.  I would not even believe this was [...]



    put up or shut up, sen. reid

    Harry Reid just emailed – on behalf of the DSCC – asking me to help fund the election of Democrats to the Senate in November.

    So I emailed and called the DSCC, and told them I’d consider parting with some cash if – and only if – Dems defeat the FISA bill tomorrow.

    Just one more call/email won’t kill you:

    Phone (202) 224-2447
    Fax (202) 969-0354
    Email: info@dscc.org

    Harry Reid: (202) [...]



    bitch-slapped again

    By a single vote, Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked an expansive fiscal stimulus package championed by Democrats, as partisan rancor engulfed the effort to inject a quick burst of spending into the slowing economy.

    The measure was opposed by Republican leaders who said the Democrats added too many costly provisions, including an extension of unemployment benefits, tax credits for the coal industry* and increased subsidies for [...]
