Good January Morning!  It is bitter, bitter cold here as dawn etches the horizon’s edge with wan light.  Here’s a sunset photo shared by HollyCornblog yesterday … the sunset light hitting the hulking wreck off the Cape May, NJ shoreline.  (It makes me think of the cold, dark havoc and destruction wrought by the Bush [...]

I’m going to be migrating everything from my old computer to my new one in just a wee bit … so am posting somewhat quickly now.  Hopefully you’ll hear from me again. If not, you’ll know that things went badly here …
A bailout agreement has apparently been reached.
I read some excellent debate analysis [...]

This video by the other Sarah is to die for!  (Jimmy Kimmel, what were you thinking????)

And here’s another offering (thanks for this, too, BJE), on the ultimate cruelty of the Palin pick.  It’s a good read — and the links are awesome.  But, my stirrings of sympathy for Palin are quickly quelled by remembering her [...]

Watch Josh Marshall from TPM for a nice look at some details about John McCain’s not-very-good week (and why he’s been backpedaling from little things like debates).  And Palin just continues to amaze …

Here’s the text of a piece of her Katie Couric interview (you can view it at the end of the clip above):

Couric: [...]

Why aren’t we reading about the real Palin rally that took place this weekend in Alaska?  That would be this one …

… the one that was spontaneously organized and grew by leaps and bounds as the word spread (yeah, like wildfire) to the good folks of Alaska.  Why don’t we hear about this rally in [...]

Okay, I’m running out of clever Palin titles – so it’s time for her to remove her name from the ticket.
Thanks, Stephen, for your info-filled, speculative post yesterday.  I had been trying to put aside my ongoing questions about the whole whose-baby-is-it matter – and your post articulated very clearly the things that continue to [...]

Hurricane Gustav is bearing down on Louisiana in an eerie replay, nearly to the day, of Katrina three years ago. The powers that be have learned from some of their mistakes, evacuating people by the thousands and generally being much more prepared.  Sadly, Gustav has provided the Republicans with a good, plausible reason for avoiding [...]

Here’s Beulah’s match report. I’m always so pleased when one or two things I noticed show up in Beulah’s write-up! I continue to be impressed with HAO’s play – and was also very glad to see Mitts playing more like her old self. Hope A-Rod gets her scoring started against New Zealand … and then [...]

I stumbled on this offering by Josh Marshall on the TPM website and wanted to share the song Louis Armstrong & Jack Teagarden singing Rockin’ Chair at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958), as well as the info about all the live performances that can be found on You Tube – a gold mine!
And speaking [...]

Yes, it’s true. According to this US News and World Report article, the Prez apparently feels he is having a good final year. In fact, in a very positive development for the Bush camp, aides say that he is feeling ‘less antipathy’ from his constituents, as he travels around the country. (Note-to-Self: Set the bar [...]

As the inner-workings of the Bush-Gonzales Department of Justice are brought more and more into the light, we are treated to a frightening scene of conservative litmus tests gone nuclear.
Here’s a piece from TPM about Esther Slater McDonald … a protege of non-other than Monica Goodling. Who knew that “social justice” was a buzz-word? Those [...]

TPM has more this morning on the Dem’s debate on Wednesday night and the flag pin question to Barack. This is disturbing on so many levels I hardly know where to begin … but let’s start with the mere fact that anyone CARES whether he wears a flag pin or not!
It’s not Nash McCabe that [...]

Here’s the text of NH HR 0024, the resolution introduced by 87 year old Betty Hall in the NH State Legislature. It asks that Bush and Cheney be impeached under provisions of Jefferson’s Manual of Parliamentary Practice. According to Blue Hampshire (a nice site about progressive NH politics that I’m adding to my permanent links), [...]
