A Good Year for the Outlaw

Al Franken, who won the Minnesota Senatorial election in November, again in February after a recount, again in April after another couple of challenges, and again in June after the Minnesota Supreme Court concurred with every single other ruling so far, is now the new junior Senator from Minnesota.
So the question is this…how can [...]

Nutbag, er, Michele Bachmann, the absolutely moronic woman who somehow got elected to represent a district in Minnesota, has announced she will NOT be obeying federal law come census time.
This freakshow calls the census an “invasion of her privacy”, and says:
“We will give the number of people in our home, and that’s where we’re [...]

Let’s see if I have this straight…about 6 months into the Obama presidency, which means about 18 months until the next campaign starts by the GOP, and here’s who the Repubs have for favorites, in no particular order:
- A Southern Governor (Sanford – S.C.) who goes AWOL to avoid his four kids on Father’s Day [...]

Schock says closing Guantanamo poses risks to U.S.
Really? What a…pardon the pun…shock. Hint to PJS editorial desk. You could have saved a couple of words by just typing:
Schock Spouts Party Line
See? Much easier, plus you can reuse it on a regular basis. You’re welcome.
Oh, and to Aaron…you had to leave the country to say [...]

I don’t know if Gov. Dick is a treasonist, or not, I mean this story only calls him “grossly irresponsible” and “ripe for impeachment” after his recent empathy for those idiots who think Texas can secede from the union.
For the record, they can’t, according to their own state constitution. But that doesn’t stop [...]

I recently sent my uncle, a hard-line Republican, and the other right-wingers on his email list, a link to a Washington Post opinion column penned by Billy Wharton, the editor of Socialist Magazine.
My original email said this:
“…Dislike the man and his policies all you want, I’m pretty frustrated with some of those policies [...]

In the months since Mr. Obama became President Obama, I have been pooh-poohing a certain Peoria-area blogger’s (whose site I no longer visit, Billy) constant whining and fear mongering about what he thought was a return of the Fairness Doctrine, all because one or two politicians made off-the-cuff remarks wondering if it needed to be [...]

Why are all the people bitching about the Obama stimulus package and who are also so willing to criticize the new president also so willing to ignore how we got in this situation in the first place?
It’s a serious question.

It’s looking more and more like Al Franken will be the next Senator from Minnesota, as he’s taken a 225 vote lead after the exhausting recount up there.
225 votes out of more than 2.5 million cast. Wow. Some (most) people would call that really close, razor thin, a hairsbreadth margin.
Dick Cheney? He’d call it [...]

Governor Rod Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff have been arrested.
Another bright, shiny day in Illinois politics.
Do ya think Aaron Schock will change his mind and want THIS job? It’s a JOKE, son, I say, it’s a JOKE.

These pollsters hired to give everyone an idea of how the political races are going in this country take their jobs very, very seriously. With that in mind, if all goes according to the polls, if indeed states like Montana and Arizona are now in play (not a good thing if you are John McCain), [...]

Well, far righties that won’t ever vote for Obama, you’ve got a choice to make here.
You have two candidates who don’t agree on much of anything…be it abortion, gay marriage, letting states decide vs. amending the constitution…they have differences on almost every issue.
So…who ARE you voting for…McCain or Palin?

…THE #1 reason this woman CANNOT get close to the White House.
Palin Says Election Results Rests In god’s Hands
Read the whole story, it talks about her 20 minute interview with James Dobson in which her true zealotry and lunacy came out.
F’ing yikes.

I fired up my computer Sunday morning to see on CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, Comcast, the Minneapolis StarTribune, and virtually every other website I visited yesterday that Colin Powell had earlier in the day endorsed Barack Obama for President. Obviously, a big, big story. One of the key figures in the Bush administration endorsing “the [...]

…by recycling speeches.
But that wasn’t the unbelievable part. The unbelievable part is the McCain staffers on Morning Joe, CNN, and Fox this very morning talking about this “wonderful new stump speech”.
Dare I say…amazing.

I’m ashamed to admit I’m from the same state as the people in this story.
Just read this excerpt:
“I don’t trust Obama,” a woman said. “I have read about him. He’s an Arab.”
McCain shook his head in disagreement, and said:
“No, ma’am. He’s a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements [...]

From the AP today, emphasis added by me:
Adopting an aggressive tone on the eve of their second debate of the season, the Republican presidential candidate criticized Obama’s ties to Chicago, his legislative record and even his pair of best-selling memoirs.
McCain, speaking about the financial crisis, took offense at Obama’s accusation that McCain opposed regulation that [...]

So, when a pastor gets up in a pulpit and breaks U.S. Law to endorse a candidate, and knows he’s doing it, how can christians justify this behavior from their clergy?
How come christians aren’t listening to one of their own, who says it’s wrong to endorse from the pulpit and doesn’t do it in [...]

When I heard CNN and Faux early this morning going over some of the details of the “bailout bill”, I was initially in favor of it passing. But as I read further into it, I was hoping more and more throughout the day that it would not pass the House. It did not pass the [...]

I wouldn’t have expected anything else, but it’s still high-larious when the McCain camp and their shills at the WSJ make a big boo boo. From Bloomberg this morning:
McCain kept everyone hanging on whether he’d participate in the first presidential debate. There was no doubt among his advertising staff. In fact, several hours before the [...]

Up until just before the GOP national convention, I was torn between Obama and McCain. I honestly didn’t know who I was voting for, although I was leaning towards Obama because he went with Joe Biden as his VP (Bill Richardson was my other hopeful). But if McCain made the right pick, and it appeared [...]

When a wacko neo-con who is best buddies and a long time associate of Jack Abramoff, a guy who authored Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America”, a guy who lobbied for the NRA and is now on their board of directors, a guy who believes in the total deregulation of corporate America (see where that has [...]

I was stunned with delight this week when CNN asked the question, “Which candidate’s plan regarding removing the gas tax for the summer months is the best?” 
Of course, John McCain has pandered to his base by suggesting a simple removal of the Federal Gas Tax for the summer. Hillary Clinton’s idea (which, if I’m not mistaken, [...]

Over at Bill Dennis’ site, contributor Diane Vespa recently asked Colleen Callahan, candidate for the 18th District House Seat in Illinois, “where’s the beef?” regarding Ms. Callahan’s supposed “vagueness” and “lack of accountability”.
I currently, btw, have a question at the end of that post’s comments section that has gone unanswered.
So I visited Project Vote Smart this [...]

Because if I was, I’d be around a lot of idiots, namely the North Carolina GOP.
John McCain has it right, when he denounces the ad in question, an attack ad on Barack Obama. McCain, his staff, and the RNC Chairman, Mike Duncan, have all asked the North Carolina GOP to not run the ad, they will [...]
