    Bipartisanship Equals Selling Out The People

    Cenk Uygur has a fantastic post today about how bipartisanship is used as a foil to enable the Democrats to sell us out just like the Republicans sell us out to big corporate interests.  For those of you out there that thought the Democrats were different, this article goes a long way to explaining why their differences are not manifesting themselves now that they are [...]

    it’s enough to wipe last year’s grant park vibes right from your soul

    Via Think Progress:

    Even if Pew’s March numbers still hold, and only 27% of U.S. voters self-identify as “Republican,” that’s 19.44% of Americans that are at least “somewhat likely” to vote for the Shilla from Wasilla if she somehow manages to claw her way to the top of the GOP ticket – and this is after last Friday’s teevee quit-o-rama.

    I need a drink.

    i guess i should stop complaining about my pay cut now

    At least I’m lucky enough to still have my Oregon job:

    Oregon’s jobless rate has taken a dramatic jump, to 12.1 percent in March — a rate seen only once before since the years after World War II.

    The increase could put Oregon on a pace to have the highest unemployment rate in the nation when those figures are released on Friday, state labor economist Art Ayre [...]



    We’re Stupid and We’re Fools

    Cenk Uygur over at Huffpo sent me this story link this morning. 

    If you want to understand what is really going on re: the banking/wall street fiasco, read this article.  Here is an excerpt:

    The latest bailout came as AIG admitted to having just posted the largest quarterly loss in American corporate history — some $61.7 billion. In the final three months of last year, the [...]



    Pelosi and Reid Must Go

    Just read this from Judith Shattuck, the Washington State Coordinator of the Progressive Democrats of America. Nice to be reminded there are many others that see what I see, think what I think and feel what I feel:

    My note to Pelosi ….

    The Columbian gives cover to Radical Homophobic Agenda

    It seems that The Columbian equates giving religious fundamentalist fringe “a seat at the table” with bestowing a high honor on one of its leaders. The following is my response to their latest Cheers & Jeers:

    After the hyperpartisanship and ideologically driven policy that marked the outgoing administration there is no disagreement that it is a necessary and admirable endeavor for Obama to be gracious in [...]



    Rally for Instant Runoff Voting in Washington State

    Remember the primary debacle this past spring? Remember all the times that qualified, worthy candidates were shut out of an election because they stood outside the major political parties? Remember your frustration after Florida in 2000 or Ohio in 2004?

    With our current electoral system, voters often must choose between the ‘lesser of two [...]
