I’ll be doing a separate piece on the issue of commercial whaling later this week. For now, enjoy the beauty and majesty of earth’s greatest creatures.

GOP Rail Against Policies They Supported Just To Spite The President
February 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Democracy, Democrats, News, Politics, Republicans
Let me be perfectly clear here. REPUBLICANS DO NOT WANT TO SUPPORT ANY POLICIES THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION COMES UP WITH, even when those policies are ones that they actually supported before. They only believe in obstruction, and obstinance. There is no bi-partisanship. There is only hypocrisy.
Watch Rachel Maddow eviscerate GOP members of congress for taking [...]

The Tea Party Convention Part II: Birthers, Homophobia, And Black Sharpies
February 9th, 2010 · 2 Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, Elections, News, Politics, Racism, Republicans, america
The National Tea Party Convention concluded this past weekend, and If you’ve already read part one, then you know that the tone of the convention was set very early on. Racial paranoia wafted heavily in the air over the weekend, dampening the intended message of anti-tax, and anti-government intervention the movement was trying to focus [...]

I do not customarily offer advice to a president whose election I opposed, whose goals I fear, and whose policies I work against. But here is an idea for Barack Obama to salvage his tottering administration by taking a step that protects the United States and its [...]

Fiscally Conservative? Maybe Not
January 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Democrats, Elections, Republicans, america
Take a peek at this chart and tell me the pattern you see:
It seems that Republican presidents in the last 30 years have played a bigger role than their democratic counterparts in increasing the national debt. Why is this important? GOP arguments of “tax and spend liberals who are mortgaging our children’s future” –don’t exactly [...]

State And Main: Trying To Crib President Obama’s SOTU Speech, And What It Says To The People
January 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Democracy, Democrats, Elections, News, Politics, Republicans, america
FULL SPEED AHEAD!
I always enjoy the spectacle of State of the Union speeches. They are a sitting president’s coming out party, replete with flesh pressing, cheers, flashbulbs, and unadulterated airtime. They are quite the show, especially if the president doing the speaking has a modicum of intellect and speaking ability. Add to this the circumstance [...]

Barack Obama, Year One: The Good, The Bad
January 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Democrats, Elections, News, Politics, america
Okay, let’s take a closer look at President Barack Obama’s first year in office. Realizing that every possible medium is doing the same thing one year after the historic inauguration, I plan on taking a different approach here. After this turbulent year in politics, who do we have in the oval office? Is President Obama [...]

My Favorite Posts Of 2009: The Daily Dish- Andrew Sullivan
December 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, Democrats, Elections, Politics, america
MEEP MEEP– December 23rd, 2009:
I will freely admit that I am in the tank for Barack Obama. I believe his combination of pragmatism, measured cool, intelligence, and willingness to find the common ground–were exactly what this country needed after eight years of the Bush administration’s feckless policies, and unilateral bullishness. I am not in the [...]
