My very, very good, if long lost, friend Ethan Persoff has been journaling his experience with the Democratic Party’s newly resurfaced love of all things Texas. He’s got three good posts here with more to come. His take on the whole Democratic floor show is both insightful yet funny as hell. Here’s a taste from [...]

Senator Chris Dodd, who recently filibustered his own “democratic” leadership to protect Americans and not Telecom Companies who broke the law, is endorsing Barack Obama this morning. That, to me, is pretty significant. This, my friends, means something. Don’t remember Dodd? Here’s his message to Utah Democrats this summer when he was still running for [...]

This is Republican politics at it’s very core. According to the Politico, the GOP is polling to find out just how racist and sexist they can be and still get away with it. This, folks is what happens when you lack the intellectual fortitude to speak on issues (don’t get me wrong, it wins in [...]

I mean, considering the textbook of mental illness that usually gets nominated to run against Jim, Josh Romney seems a little tame and girly. I mean, after his daddy ended up a quitter who bilked millions from the people of Utah (think [...]

This whole plagiarism thing is such utter crap. I think the audience reaction to it all pretty much sums up where people think the whole issue belongs. Obama’s explanation was (while unneeded if you’ve seen the clips) both calm and more than reasonable. The crowd in the auditorium gave him a warm cheer. Normal, more [...]

When Hillary walked out, the crowd seems very excited. That made me smile. My non-support for Hillary has so little to do with Hillary (kinda) that I’m happy she’s still popular. When Obama walked out, though, and his foot hit that stage … that was powerful. That crowd full of lefties has a pretty big [...]

Well, that’s what I have. And my son, my wife and both little daughters have mixes of all these. Yesterday’s visit to the community clinic (and subsequent pharmacy visit) wiped out the ever dwindling bank account, but, I not only got a good job, it’s a job that I can work out of my home [...]

Where the hell have I been all week? Sick. Fever, shakes, cold sweats, sore throat, loss of my voice, etc. etc. Without getting too whiny, I don’t have health insurance anymore (COBRA sucks) so, I’ve been self medicating since Sunday night with Dollar Store medicine. I think tomorrow will see me in a better place, [...]
