It’s a topsy turvy world

Monday, December 13, 2010

It’s hard to believe that it’s not yet three years since Hillary Clinton proved she was incapable of being president by choking up a bit when she made the point that elections and their consequences actually mattered to real people. The fact that she came close to-might even have-shedding a few tears was all we […]

Fighting back in Great Britain

Monday, December 13, 2010

Last week I had jury duty. While we were in the “jury assembly room” we were, of course, subjected to the inevitable television, which appears to be the chief method used in this country to tranquilize people in waiting rooms.

Friday Night Music-Sympathy for the Rich

Friday, December 10, 2010

But this had me shaking my head: A top Senate aide, meanwhile, predicted that there would be “lots of nay votes on a White House compromise,” though likely not […]

Friday Night Music-REM

Friday, December 3, 2010

I have a sort of a rule that I don’t repeat an artist/group that I’ve already done, but I can’t be sure as far as REM goes, and when I search the site for the group’s name I get every post where the letters “rem” appear in sequence. So, I’m going to assume that this […]

Outrage fatigue

Thursday, December 2, 2010

Another post at Kos, as at so many of our left leaning blogs, documenting yet another “outrageous” act by a Republican, this time the fact that John Kyl is holding up the Start Treaty in order to get a tax cut for the rich. I must confess that I am not outraged by this, nor […]
