Watch the Real McCain

But I hate to see T. Boone asshole Pickens getting any airtime, considering he spent millions of his own bucks swiftboating Johh Kerry... and reneged on a million dollar offer to anyone who could disprove the swiftboaters' bullshit claims. Now he is suddenly viewed as a wise old environmentalist, but I seriously doubt it...

Are you registered to vote?

Don't be so sure... the republicans are using all kinds of dirty tricks to throw voters like you off the voting rolls across the nation. Go to this site to find out if you really are still a registered voter... and if you know you are not registered, pull your head out of your ass and start voting...

Stealing 3 in a row?

The hijinks are starting again... McCain is sending out funky absentee ballots in an attempt to confuse and/or disqualify Democratic voters... meanwhile, the press is still trying to parse a well-heeled expression about porcine cosmetics...

Calm Down Folks...

Yup, everyone I know who is rightfully fearful of a McCain presidency is freaking out over the surprising jolt his campaign got from choosing "hacky mam" Palin. My feeling is that once this initial enthusiasm wears down, and the yahoo Hillary Clinton supporters finally think about how scary this chick really is, this too will pass. Here is a great op-ed by the NYT columnist Gail Collins that largely echoes my feelings on the matter... give it a read (it's not too long)... and calm down (but don't get too comfortable...)

BEEz in love???

Welcome to Democracy in the Heartland of America!

Do listen to this excerpt from the interview that Thom Hartmann did with Amy Goodman and her crew, who were arrested outside the republican convention, despite having press passes. Also, their floor passes to the convention were confiscated without reciepts (a requirement when the police take things from citizens). If you can find the whole interview, it is definitely worth a listen... Then watch films of the arrests.

If only we could make the rest of the world this safe for democracy.











Of course, don’t think this is just a thing that only happens at republican conventions...
