It is with great sadness that I report that, while following the USWNT and WPS and getting ready for March Madness, JordanCornblog entirely missed the fact that Texas was finally and unequivocally losing it. The State’s ultra-conservatives have apparently succeeded in injecting their skewed world view into school curriculums … beating back what small progress [...]

With 50 senators ready to give the thumbs up on reconciliation, are we about to see some change actually happen? The complexity of the issues and the utter brokenness of the system leave me tearing at my hair and honestly almost preferring near-random change to inaction. (Of course I would not be saying that were [...]
So it’s Friday … and the “true colors” theme continues to be apt, as I see that … Roy Ashburn, a rabid anti-gay GOPer … was arrested for DUI after leaving a gay nightclub, according to sources. Here’s his voting record … a profile that’s becoming more and more familiar, eh? I mean, might we [...]
The GOP’s hate and fear-mongering is over the top, and inexcusable. The big question for me … are we a nation of idiots? Will the good people of Kansas … not to mention the rest of the states …keep falling for this crap? Is it possible to rescind a political party’s right to exist? I’d [...]

Yesterday I had one of those angry right wing commenters visit. This time waxing eloquent about the HUGE economy of Texas … and how States like California are going down the tubes because they are fundamentally socialist. (The comment was attached to a really old post, BTW … Memo to the Red States from the [...]

Now, that’s just gross, what you’re thinking.
This is the Cheney-monster I’m obsessing about – THAT Dick. Is it just me, or are you checking on-line for breaking news about his demise? I feel like a shark with blood in the water. Circling. Waiting.
And this has got me thinking about Dick more broadly. Wondering [...]
Who knew that I’d be rooting for Scott Brown as the rabid right rips into him following a vote signalling that he, perhaps, failed to drink the Kool Aid! His enraged “fans” have taken over his Facebook page … and apparently his daughters’ as well.
Scott’s probably wondering what he got himself into.
In other political news [...]
Apparently (according to a thread on BigSoccer) Christine Latham has been waived by the Breakers … and an announcement about a new international acquisition is in the offing. Any guesses?
Meanwhile .. bad blood between the B’s and Sky Blue FC, eh? Breakers’ GM Andy Crossley sounds (not surprisingly) PO’d as he responds to Gerry Malone [...]
Been awhile! I think I’m heading toward a not-every-day schedule here – or at least, let’s say a less predictable schedule. We’ll see how it goes.
In the meantime, life goes on, the days lengthen, snow falls and melts, and who should be reappearing on the landscape but Mitt Romney! He’s starting to make the rounds, [...]
I’ll just let Representative Elliott represent herself here …

Today I was sad to see a Google Alert re. the Breakers indicating that Jen Nobis is out for the season (torn ACL). Sounds like she had been working her butt off in the off-season, which makes this all the sadder. She had 2 goals in 11 games for a generally lackluster Breakers’ offense … [...]
Boltgirl has a nice write up of the WPS draft … a brief reminder (especially heartening to the mid-Atlantic states right about now) that baseball is on the way … and a little link at the end that you must click! All I can say is OMG. Or did I say it already? I sure [...]
I was going to write about the WPS’ Sol Dispersal Draft (Boxxy went first, and Marta moved up the coast) and especially how the Breakers fared … but I had a comment by a guy named Noah on my post about Obama at the Georgetown-Duke game … and just felt like I wanted to focus [...]
The stamina and breadth of knowledge that this man posesses, not to mention the grace under pressure — and just plain grace — are quite amazing.
First — he goes to the so-called lion’s den and schools the GOP brain trust at their annual retreat (well done Mr. President).
Then he attends the Georgetown-Duke game and shares [...]
Okay, yesterday was the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. How amazing to think about that decision on the heels of the recent SCOTUS debacle. So in honor of Roe v. Wade, HollyCornblog suggests that we visit the Angryblackbitch to read her post from yesterday – Blog for Choice – Not a PLea or a Request [...]
In a decision that I can only describe as chilling, the Supreme Court has opened the doors for corporate capital to pretty much buy whatever it wants.
While I don’t think that money was the issue for Coakley on Tuesday, truth’s comment on the race is telling:
Here’s the stat that brings it all home: After the [...]
First off, thanks to Stephen and AMR for weighing in on the events of these times … we need all the help we can get!
Second, did anyone else notice the spike in the stock market when Massachusetts was effectively voting down healthcare reform? Could the battle lines be drawn any more clearly?
First off, let’s stop [...]
While the snow squalls continued yesterday in NH, and ChristopherCornblog experimented with the wovel, strange things were happening down in the flatlands of Massachusetts.
That normally, reliably sane populace went right off the deep end. It was worse than what we’ve seen in states where we expect that kind of behavior. Strange and unsettling. There’s a [...]
Sorry for the quick hit, I know I’ve been bad about guest blogging here (I’ll try to do better!) but my father sent me this link today, and I didn’t see it anywhere here yet… this is worth watching, I think.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. You know what the worst part of it is?
That this guy was there with his friend Jerry Jones – and that he had a good time.
He should NEVER have a good time.
And speaking of folks who should never have a good time, of course Dick Cheney is perennially on my [...]
