It’s windy as hell here in Canterbury this morning … and cold. Wind chills in the minus numbers. Brrrr!
I think the wind is blowing the cover off of some bad actors … let’s take a look … maybe it’ll be cleansing!
First off, the Swiss firm Covalence has published its annual report on the worst corporations [...]
Okay so I do, I really do want to be rooting for Obama — but what’s with this latest appointment? GE’s defender on environmental issues, Ignacia Moreno, has been hired to do the legal stuff for EPA? How did Obama explained this decision, I’m wondering. It kind of gives me a weird feeling in my stomach. [...]
The snows aren’t as deep as expected, but they led to power outages in these parts, and lots and lots of birches bent to the ground. We had to saw the ends off of some branches on one birch near the bottom of our hill so that it’d pop up enough to let cars through [...]
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 [...]
I can’t believe that I am doing this … but I feel moved to add the White House website to the links here in the JordanCornblog sidebar. I feel moved to explore the site, read the blog, check it all out periodically. What is happening? As someone who grew up in the sixties and came [...]

What can I say? Bah Humbug, maybe? The Compassionate Conservative took back one of his pardons yesterday to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Who knows what’s really going on with all that … all I can see is yet another example of the sloppiness and ineptitude of this administration. Still counting the days here.
And the [...]
My goodness gracious … America’s team lost to the Baltimore Ravens last night … giving the Eagles a slightly larger sliver of hope for making the play-off’s (as they meet the Redskins at 4:15). Derrick Mason played a heckuva game (why do I want to say “Brownie” all of a sudden?). He was pretty much [...]
Saturday morning … and please remind me to not eat handfuls of chocolate-covered cherries while Watching Rachel Maddow … and before going to bed! And I don’t mean the sweet syrupy kind – but nice tart ones – delicious, for sure – and probably marginally good for me (yes, I do believe I could make [...]
Power outages here … and running late … so this’ll be quick.
Thank goodness CB sent me a rather amazing (and seasonal) video or there’s be just about nothing here. But check this out … Bailey the Unknown Reindeer. (Be prepared to be exhausted watching it.)
Anyone see Rachel Maddow last night? She was quite eloquent on [...]
Here’s a good article for some lunchtime reading (depending on your time zone) from Newsweek.
Rachel Maddow Comes Out on Top
Check it out – who knew, for example, that she’s 6′0″? Certianly not moi!

The Phillies pulled out a squeaker of a win last night, and yours truly is paying the price this morning. Well worth it, though (or I should say Werth it). Cole Hamels looked very strong, Chase Utley came through with a first inning 2-run homer … and when (not if) Ryan Howard gets on track [...]
Thanks, ChristopherCornblog!
Voter suppression is a core strategy of the GOP — and it’s a threat to the fabric of our democracy. Share this … get the word out!
From the scary … to the ridiculous … read about how Governor Palin and the RNC are spending money while “real Americans’” wallets are in dire straits. Nice! [...]
Obama is leaving the trail, as I’m sure you’ve all read by now, to be with his seriously ill grandmother in Hawaii. His sense of proportion is admirable, and I wish him and his family well.
On a more upbeat note — my e-mail brought me this great piece from the NY Times this morning — [...]

It’s “hump day” and I’m heading back to work tomorrow after a LONG vacation. This morning I’m celebrating the Phillies’ amazing come from behind win over the Mets. (Can you say first place?) Seven runs down and they come back and win it in the 13th. Go Phillies! That … and the Red Sox pummeled [...]
John Tomasic has put up a nice piece (and interesting video) on the Huffington Post about Hillary and Hillary supporters … as we head toward the convention. It certainly appears that HRC has accepted the Obama nomination and is working with the DNC on moving forward in a unified way.
In the meantime, John McCain is [...]

My first read this morning included some tough talk from John Conyers regarding Karl Rove and the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena of Mr. Turdblossom himself. You go John! Meanwhile, the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility is also investigating a widening number of alleged “selective prosecutions” which may have been (OMG) politically motivated. I’m glad this [...]
