Romney’s base reveals itself

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

Public Policy Polling has released the results of a new poll, in which some questions are asked about Romney’s treatment of dogs. The questions appear to be asked in the right order; that is, the fact that Romney abused his dog is not revealed until preliminary questions about dog treatment generally have been asked. These […]

Can’t resist

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

Even though it’s not Friday. Via Paul Krugman’s blog. Krugman notes that several of his commenters took offense at the idea that Springsteen, et al would read a lefty political message into a Woody Guthrie song. Is there a word for historical ignorance akin to innumeracy?

Yet another example of IOKIYAR

Monday, March 19, 2012

Another post from another liberal about the media’s failure to point out that most of what comes out of Romney’s mouth is a lie. For some reason, while reading this article, my mind flew back to another campaign that took place a long long time ago, in a political galaxy far far away. The time […]

Obama video

Sunday, March 18, 2012

I’ve been a critic, but when you compare Obama to what we could have gotten, or could get, it’s hard to complain too much. This well done video does a great job of highlighting Obama’s achievements, which none of us should forget.

Some pics selected more or less at random from those I took today at the Boston Flower Show.           And one shot of the Boston skyline.

All the sharks, jumped

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

There was a time, on this blog, that I actually was capable of writing what passed, at least in my own mind if nowhere else, for satirical or humorously mocking pieces about Republicans, but I admit my powers seem to be fading. I’ve blamed myself, to myself, until today I had a revelation. It is, […]

Arizona goes where Congress has not yet tread

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Do Republicans really think they have a winner here? Do they really think they can win by locking up the narrow minded white elderly, mostly male vote? Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for […]

We don’t need no education

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

There are times when you really have to wonder if this country has a chance to survive. I am a regular reader of Paul Krugman’s blog as well as his column in the Times. I would have assumed that his blog readers would, by a process of self selection, be relatively intelligent and somewhat comfortable […]

It’s what’s in his lyin’ heart

Monday, March 12, 2012

Wow. Only conservatives get to be this disingenuous. A while back Rick Santorum lied about the Dutch euthanasia law. He said that one in 20 Dutch deaths are the results of euthanasia, many involuntary. A lie from first to last. Here’s his spokesperson not answering a Dutch reporter’s question about Little Ricky’s big lies.   […]
