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 [...]

I had unsettling dreams last night and woke up maybe just a tad cranky.  This cheered me up, however:
More than 80 percent (81 percent) of Democrats now say they disapprove of the job Lieberman is doing with only 14 percent approving. Among Republicans, 48 percent disapprove of the senator with just 39 approving. And among [...]

So the stimulus package has passed, as the sun rises on this beautiful Saturday morning.  It wouldn’t have, without the help of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins – courageous, centrist Republicans in a sea of dissembling, disingenuous, faux bipartisan doofusses mouthing old platitudes and marching in lockstep.  Why?  Putting politics first, it seems [...]

First off, you have to watch this video and sign the petition.  It addresses the sad and dangerous fact that “on December 19, 2008, Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and seeking to nullify the marriages of 18,000 devoted same-sex couples solemnized before [...]

How refreshing to write a headline focused on the letter P and not have Sarah Palin come to mind (except as an after thought, just now — like a toothache remembered).
So these are heady, miraculous times.  The Hudson River miracle jet has been fished out of the water and Obama is in DC and will [...]

It’s a warm, foggy Saturday morning here in post-election New Hampshire.  Most of the political signs are put away, and gunshots now ring through the hillsides.
Rebellion against the new socialist state?  Post-election right wing despair?  Nah.  Hunting season.  It’s more personal this year than some, as the doe and two fawns that we’ve been watching [...]

First – in this great find, Boltgirl gives us another glimpse of the GOP candidate’s foreign relations creds. (I ‘m actually starting to wonder if McCain is okay.)
The speculation and curiosity about Obama’s Veep Vetting grows, as does the number of names on his list. Interesting collection … but John Kerry? Really? I think we [...]

Joe Lieberman, that guy who ran with Al Gore (remember) persists on his path toward perdition (IMHO). As Joe continues to carry water for McCain, it’s nice to read this piece on the Huffington Post about Obama cornering him and giving him what for. And if you had doubts about Senator Obama’s ability to be [...]

… but NC wants Barack more (and Indiana almost did, too). I read this morning that Hillary has cancelled all public events today. At the very least, that says she is not wanting to confront the inevitable questions about what she is going to do now.
On a personal level, this has got to be devastating. [...]
