So, health care reform passed. My daughter’s civics teacher is going to be ticked. She (a public school teacher, her salary paid for via taxes) feels that her taxes shouldn’t be spent to help other people. Not very civic-minded . . . I’m not sure why the TeaBag Army, or whatever they are calling themselves [...]
WTF Democrats? Health care should be simple. We have a majority in the House and Senate, and a Democrat in the White House. We easily won the Presidential elections less than a year ago. By Republican standards, we have a mandate to do whatever the fuck we want. Why, then, are we constrained by the [...]
Welcome, President Obama!!! I’ve finished my champagne, listened to the concession speech interrupted by typical angry booings and slurs, and am going to bed. Too bad McCain couldn’t have been this gracious for his whole campaign. Perhaps things would have turned out differently if he hadn’t fomented so much hatred. But it’s finally over, and [...]
It’s a bit late, considering we are voting on the issue today (and by we, I mean you Californians, not us visiting Idahoans), but I’ve decided that it should be Yes on 8. Of course, Prop 8 needs to be reworked slightly first: The current benefits of marriage need to be stripped away so that [...]
Just a quick link to a hopeful story about voting today.
It’s unlikely Obama will win in Alaska, but at least it looks close. It’s nice to know that even though all I ever did was throw money at Obama, someone in my family was out working hard for an Obama victory. Thank you, cousin Molly!!!
I keep reading how the MSM, liberals, centrists, intellectuals and “intellectual” conservatives are all in the tank for Obama. That doesn’t leave much for McCain’s tank. McCain seems to have the crackhead and skinhead vote locked down, as well as the ultra-right religious vote. The glaring difference I see here is that Obama’s tank is [...]
Obama/Biden may have the support of the NEA, what with his highfalutin’ beliefs in knowledge and learnin’ and all that, but at least McCain/Palin still have the witch doctors and homicidal meth-lovin’ rednecks on his side. So, is the “real America” the teachers or the tweakers? I’d prefer to think that teachers are more representative.
It’s the end of the season, and we are actually a week ahead of schedule this year. The yard is leaf-blown, but the pool is covered and winterized. I’ve performed the annual blowjob (shut it, you pervs!) on the sprinklers and backyard faucets. The gazebo cover, or what is left of it, has been packed [...]
Oh, and to Cal Thomas and the rest of you halfwits who think a lame attempt to paint the Obama candidacy as a religious movement that somehow threatens your Christianity, go eat a bag of dicks. Those of us on the left and center are not the ones calling Obama “the one” or “The Messiah”, [...]
