Schilling as a Senator? {Shudder}

Curt Schilling a Senator? I shudder to think of it. See  my post on Schilling from awhile back–it reveals something about the man.

Not Another Nitwit!

My favorite thing that’s been said about Sarah Palin’s sudden mutiny from office came from Maureen Dowd:
“Sarah wanted everyone to know that she’s not having fun and people are being mean to her and she doesn’t feel like finishing her first term as governor.“
That’s exactly how she came across–like a pouty teenager.
Dear god, please do [...]

Obamania

Maybe it was naive of me, but I was looking forward to this day, to watching the rituals of inaugurating our new president, this new president. Now that it’s here, the over-the-top media hoopla is annoying the hell outta me. With all their “How does it feeeeel?” and “What are your thoughts?” and “Did you [...]

California Nasty

What the world needs now is love sweet love…and as Keith Olbermann says, in a world so desperately in need of love, why would anyone want to restrict it? Apparently a majority of Californians do, at least when it comes to those perverts.
O, irony of ironies! At last, minorities voted in huge numbers, African-Americans and [...]

Way To Go, America!

Pre-Election Crazies

Election Day: See update following post.
Are you anxious/antsy/terrified today? Have these feelings been building over the past few weeks and days? Are you bipolar, moving back and forth from elation to despair? You are not alone.
A Saturday New York Times article addressed the angst that Democrats and liberals—and, I might add, progressives—are enduring over this [...]

The Candidates on Disability

I just received this terrific information from my friend Stan Klein, who serves on the Disability Policy Committee of the Obama/Biden campaign. It’s a comparison of their positions versus those of McCain/Palin on issues affecting people with disabilities. With Sarah Palin running around claiming to be The First Advocate, it’s illuminating.

OBAMA ON SUPPORT FOR LIVING [...]

Some Special Needs Advocate!

Yo! Sarah Palin is going around assuring parents of children with special needs that if she’s elected, “you’ll have an advocate in the White House.” But as with so many lies that she and John McCain are telling, this doesn’t jibe with her record.
As governor of Alaska Palin slashed the Special Olympics budget in half. [...]

Train Wreck Continued

The more I ruminate on what’s happened with this election, the more agitated I become. I’m thinking about all those Democratic candidates who had so much potential, but who never stood a chance with a woman and a Black man in the game. It’s not the Party’s fault, nor is it anyone’s fault exactly…it’s kind [...]

Train Wreck: The Presidential Election

I don’t know about other progressives/liberals/radicals/Democrats, but I’m gettin’ real freaked out, kids. For 15 months this train’s been speeding headlong into what’s looking more and more like utter disaster. Because the media wanted sexy copy, they gave a black man and a white woman central billing from Day One, pushing some perfectly good potential [...]
