So, we started off the week watching the Saints play the dirtiest game they could possibly muster against the Vikings. Literally, Gregg Williams admitted that his game plan was to have his guys ignore penalties and try to injure a 40 year old future Hall of Famer. I’d say that’s going to come [...]
I heard that line again. If there is one phrase from this last decade that needs to die, it’s “We fight them there, so we don’t have to fight them here!”
How, pray tell, do you stand up and cheer at the Olympics for a nation of people who hide and cower behind [...]
Okay, so my old, exceptionally expensive laptop’s graphic cards blew up. Don’t work. Then my desktop died. Thankfully, in a pinch of spend craziness, I bought a sub-400 dollar netbook last year (MSi Wind, great netbook by the way)…and I used that to get myself a job. Had two offers on [...]
I don’t make it hidden that I’m a big fan of Robert Reich, the Secretary of Labor under President Clinton. However, I’ve got to say this. I don’t think the amount of the stimulus, at this point, is the problem with how the stimulus has been utilized so far. I think it’s really the number of federal employees going over various project submissions that has been the problem…there aren’t enough of them.
Generally, the Republican Party (and a couple of gutless Democrats) shelved the Mathew Shepard/James Byrd act for 12 years because, according to them, it would be an “unwarranted expansion of federal power” and an “unconstitutional thought-crimes law”. The reason is that it gives the Federal government the power to intercede in certain cases [...]
“So, you kids think you should have something to hope for? THINK AGAIN, PUNKS!”
I think we can agree that Conservatives have shown up to this fight with guns. That’s what they always do. They take shots, personal, political, and oftentimes, downright insane. The progressives, as usual, have shown up with baseball bats. And they don’t even have a good strategy for how to use those bats effectively.
Bill Clinton came out recently in an interview and said there’d be no repeat of 1994 in 2010 as far as the Republicans kicking the Democrats out of power in Congress, because the Republicans are much “weaker” now.
For articles like this one which I found through there. I’m not the type to normally read GQ.
Even though the writer is totally historically wrong about Carter on page 6. Those long lines at the pump, unemployment, inflation? Brought to you by the folks who brought you the Vietnam War and those [...]
So yeah, most people who know me know I’m prettly liberal/progressive/whatever. I don’t march in lock step, and frequently veer in strange directions (does that make me a drunk liberal? I think it does)…but I’m not above the time honored liberal tradition of kicking other liberals in the shins.
