Article by missy on March 19th, 2009 at 11:01 am Doubt. Doubt = weakness, and weakness = electoral failure.

Article by missy on November 5th, 2008 at 11:26 am I just heard on the radio that that DLC quisling Rahm Emanuel is Obama’s likely choice for Chief of Staff. Crap. While my opinion doesn’t mean squat, here’s my dream cabinet, which includes promoting FEMA back to cabinet level (and taking it out of Dept. of Homeland Security): Department of Agriculture: Senator Tom Harkin Department of Commerce: Rep.

The entire 50 square-kilometer (19 square-mile) Markham Ice Shelf off the coast of Ellesmere Island broke away in early August and [...]
Article by missy on August 11th, 2008 at 12:55 pm This time of year is especially hard for parents when gas and food are already overwhelming the family budget. From The Columbian this morning: Bernie Gerhardt is in a pickle.

But for some reason — [...]
Article by missy on May 28th, 2008 at 12:20 pm Because she’ll still lose: WASHINGTON (AP) — A Democratic Party rules committee has the authority to seat some delegates from Michigan and Florida but not fully restore the two states as Hillary Rodham Clinton wants, according to party lawyers.
