Political SuperCrush – DNC Spokesman Karen Finney Kicks Ass On Hardball

JM Bell | June 29, 2007

As everyone in the DNC Communications bullpen knows, I’ve had a crush on DNC Communications Director Karen Finney for a few years now. Aside from her obvious intelligence and beauty, here is why:

JM Bell | June 29, 2007

Yeah, I know this is tame, but, good God, how thick can you be?
From the Readers Forum in the Deseret Morning Republican Party Newsletter today:
Why not have a downtown Farmers Market on Wednesday or Saturday? Why on Sunday, Rocky?

1.) There is one on Saturday. It’s called “The Farmers Market.” It’s over at Pioneer [...]

Ok, for those who may have missed this useless little flogging of Mark Towner: here is the blog post that started it all. Well, technically, Mark started it all, but, I’ll be damned if I’ll link to that asshat.

The Impacts of Bottled Water – SLCSpin fears change!

JM Bell | June 27, 2007

Ethan over at SLCSpin thinks that all the hubbub about bottled water is just silly. He and Michael Castner at the Nightside Project had a little tizzy about it on air the other day. I sent over an email to answer their question about “what am I supposed to do when it’s hot outside!?!” and [...]

Rocky Anderson, tall, white-haired, second-term mayor: Impeach Bush and Cheney

JM Bell | June 27, 2007

This from the New York City Independent Media Center about Mayor Anderson’s visit to the Ethical Culture Society on Monday night:
Rocky Anderson, tall, white-haired, the second-term mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah, was the big political gun at the rally.
Anderson quoted the American Revolutionary War leader, Samuel Adams, who said, “The liberties of our [...]

Uggg. More Mark Towner. Letters in my MySpace mail. Knock it off, Mark.

JM Bell | June 26, 2007

I’m getting a little sick of Mark Towner. A little friendly “place putting” for Mark should have been a simple enjoyable distraction, but, now he’s got his friends spamming my email addresses demanding that I apologize to him, make nice, kill myself, move back to Mongolia (wtf? Mongolia?) and that I shouldn’t call Mark a [...]

Oh no! There’s a make-believe pirate mad at me! C’mon Mark Towner, sack up.

JM Bell | June 22, 2007

Uh, oh. I angered off the biggest political spammer in Salt Lake City! Pirate “Captain” Mark Towner likes to spew out craziness and ignorant hyperbole and, here’s the surprise, he doesn’t want to be called on it. I’ve had several phone calls this morning, some from folks that think this is pretty funny and some [...]

Romney? Duality just isn’t a strong enough word.

JM Bell | June 21, 2007

The always intelligent, yet ruggedly handsome, Thomas Burr, Esq. over at the SL Tribune wrote an interesting missive about Mr. Flip [Flop] Romney on the Out of Context blog this afternoon:
[...] It’s doubtful those lawmakers had read Romney’s comments in the July 2002 issue of Commonwealth Magazine in which he bashed the single-party dominance in [...]

Dickheads and Douche Bags

JM Bell | June 21, 2007

Vice President Dick Cheney has exempted his office from a presidential classification order, refusing to make annual reports to the National Archive and turning away classification inspectors, claiming that his office is not an entity within the executive branch, according to letters from the Archive made public today by a Congressional oversight committee.

An earlier version of the FBI documents had Osama bin Laden’s name blacked out, to protect his privacy

JM Bell | June 20, 2007

There’s a screwy story over at Judicial Watch about an incident that occurred just days after the 9/11 attacks. It seems that, even while every airport in America was closed for security reasons due to the terrorist attacks, the White House cleared flights to zip all over the United States and then leave American Soil [...]

President Bush: Irony is NOT always funny, sometimes it’s knee slapping, rib ticklin’ prickish

JM Bell | June 20, 2007

There was a splendid little get together at the White House last night, and boy does it sound like it was a great time. Members of Congress stopped by the South Lawn for a little New Orleans themed Bar-be-Q, complete with famous NOLA Chef Paul Prudhomme and music by also famous New Orleans jazz band [...]

Where’s Jim Matheson? Still in the GOP Clubhouse with Cannon and Bishop.

JM Bell | June 19, 2007

Reading a little Bob Geiger today, as I do so often, and it made me think of Congressperson Jim Matheson in a sad way. It also made me think of Congresspersons Cannon and Bishop in a head shaking, ‘you bastards’ kind of way. Let’s see if you can figure out why.
From Geiger via Crooks and [...]
