You’ll need ‘em after reading the piece that appeared in Salon yesterday – an overview and accounting of the damage wrought by Bush et al in their years in DC. It begins:
After a couple of presidential terms, mismanagement in every area of policy — foreign, domestic, even extraterrestrial — starts to add up. When George [...]
How many base runners have the Phillies stranded now? I guess the glass-half-full perspective would be that they’re creating chances and will start cashing in eventually. (Just hope “eventually” comes within the next couple of games!) According to the NY Times the Phils are 1 for 28 with runners in scoring position — and Ryan [...]

The rain falling in NH is a bit of a relief today, as I settle in to catch up on some dangling threads!
But first, a couple of tidbits … like this great feature piece from Salon by Avi Steinberg titled “Confessions of an RNC Security Guard.” Turns out the family values party has some nighttime [...]
I was going to post this earlier this morning, but then decided that it deserved its own place. It’s an excellent piece from Salon explicating the reaction to Michelle Obama. Read it … and consider this recent post from Princess Sparkle Pony. All I can think of is the Obama’s daughters … and how challenging [...]
Big thanks to Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes, New Hampshire’s two reps, for voting against more funding for the US occupation of Iraq. The bill passed and will be signed by Bush, but your votes are appreciated nonetheless.
From a war started and fueled by misinformation, we move to a Republican campaign similarly powered. When you [...]
