Sex Charts!!

Reading this was pretty fun. So I thought I would share.

You might be an idiot if.....

You carry around a sign that says:


I implore people to go out to vote, because you can damn well be sure this idiot will be. Also I hope this person does not have children.

On a lighter note, though I have been disappointed with the Administration on a number of issues (and it is not because they didn't get everything I wanted or wished for, but maybe because they capitulated on virtually every issue and echo many of the rights talking points, and rarely make the case for progressive causes. Also they hurt my fee-fees when they called me "whinny" for not being ecstatic by their list of achievements), but this does my science loving heart some good.

You think you have had a bad at work....

Imagine being this guy:


I am pretty confident I would have been fired on the spot for my response.

Also I would like to reiterate, if you ever have to make the statement "But I'm not a racist.". Sadly, you probably are.

Classy...

Eric likes to call him "Crazy Larry", but Lawrence O'Donnell, did something rather classy last night on his new show.

He apologized to RNC Chairman Michale Steele.

He did not have to. I am no fan of Mr. Steele, in general I think he is a poorly qualified example of failing upward, with a horrible grasp of policy. That being the case, I completely agree with Mr. O'Donnell's need to apologize. Words have weight, and their improper use has lasting implications.

So I applaud both Chairman Michael Steele and Mr. O'Donnell, for their graciousness and their humanity.

It is sadly rare to see in this political environment. When every political conflict is some sort of Manichean struggle. Where the opposition is evil.

It is nice to see too men who disagree, treat each other like human beings.

Simple Question...

Why has no one been prosecuted for the financial meltdown that we experienced a couple of years ago?

I am serious. There were prosecutions during the Great Depression, during the Savings and Loans scandal, but nothing now.

This is an issue were I definitely thing the Administration screwed the pooch. A deficit commission; before a return to full employment commission, or even a "who fucked up our economy" commission.

It shows how afraid the Administration is of right wing frames, and lacks the voice to be a successful advocate for the non-wealthy.

New Edition to the Blog Roll

I haven't really be on top of my updating as normal. I will admit it. I am a bit disillusioned with the whole political process right now.

The opposition is ascendant in my view, and for all the wrong reasons, and my chosen political allies are craven.

But that doesn't stop me from reading a lot about it. So I thought I would add another blog to the roll. This one is by a "conservative" commentator, who I have been reading for sometime.

While I do not agree with every thing he says, the clarity of his prose and the logic he brings to bear are compelling.

Daniel Larison of the American Conservative does good, thoughtful analysis. I wish there were more political commentators like him (left of right).

Drop by and check his blog out there.
