So it appears that meth using racists have already started plotting the assassination of Barack Obama. CBS 4 Denver has story, video, photos of the would-be assassins. I have slim hope that this will be the last such attempt, more hope that law enforcement catches them all before they can do anything. I learned a […]
It is already all over ABC and Politico (both are moderately conservative media outlets), and I suspect Fox (which I cannot stomach, but is very predictable) is also running a series of articles that are over-focused on driving a wedge between the Clinton and Obama camps within the Democratic Party. I fully expect them to […]
There is something very, very wrong with a society that thinks it is acceptable for police to violently kick down the door to a private family’s home, shoot the family dogs and physically restrain the family while they conduct a search for drug dealer materials or other incriminating evidence, all because a large package of […]
If you are a Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Fray, Firefly, Serenity, and soon Dollhouse), you probably already know about Can’t Stop the Serenity, let this just be a reminder to you that it’s this weekend in many places. Closest to me is Arlington, Virginia at the Cinema ‘n Drafthouse. Tonight […]
How bizarre is it that the only places I am reading about Congressman Kucinich introducing 35 articles of impeachment to congress last night are on blogs like BoingBoing and LiberalRage? I thought perhaps I’d simply missed this important news on the many news sites I scan daily… So I rechecked NY Times, CNN, LA Times, […]
An Italian boyfriend of a Virginia woman is being held (for 10 days and counting) simply for wanting to visit his girlfriend? He broke no laws, is not a suspected terrorist, has not overstayed his visa, and has a history of visiting and leaving on time. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/14/us/14visa.html Wow – there is a special hell reserved […]

I just cut my tab feed for washingtonpost.com because their site has resorted to pop-under advertising. Pop-up advertising is annoying as hell, but at least it is honest and ethical. Pup-under ads hide in the background, behind your main browser window and try to trick you into clicks and options that are less than honest. […]
I woke up to Newschannel 8 this morning with a start when I heard the words “Bull Run Mountain” in the same story with some sort of crime. I was too foggy headed at first, but that work me up because I live on Bull Run Mountain, so this story is very local. Once I […]
Josh Marshall says it quite succinctly on Talking Points Memo: Only one party has a nationwide campaign to deliver millions of intentionally-harassing calls disguised to appear that they’re from the opposite party. That party is the Republican party. And the calls are funded by the NRCC — the House GOP election committee. It’s the party […]
