What’s with Enfield?

Sunday, January 23, 2011

It would appear that the Republicans that are running Enfield have a secret agenda: enriching the ACLU, which is entitled to attorneys fees from losing defendants when it vindicates the constitution. After handing the ACLU a slam dunk victory when they insisted on having the high school graduation in a church, the Enfielders decided to […]

An interesting dynamic

Thursday, January 20, 2011

It is an interesting fact of political life in this country that Democrats tend to elect people who either more or less reflect their values or are more conservative than Democrats as a whole, while Republicans tend to elect people that are not just more conservative than Republicans as a whole, but far more conservative […]

Supergrifters

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Christine O’Donnell has started a PAC, called ChristinePAC, the purpose of which appears to be to provide for the support and maintenance of Christine O’Donnell. The PAC will be operating out of her home, presumably to legitimize the use of PAC funds to pay her bills. This is one bright side of the Citizens United […]

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 […]

For this we can give thanks

Friday, November 26, 2010

It’s been dismal lately, but just before Thanksgiving we got a bit of news that gave us a little in the way of political good cheer. Tom Delay was convicted of money laundering by a Texas jury, in a case that seemed to defy the constitutional mandate for a speedy trial. Seems like he was […]

The next bailout foretold

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

Looks like we may have another bailout coming: Widespread problems in how U.S. lenders documented foreclosures could spark a wave of legal challenges resulting in massive losses to banks and serious new troubles for the housing market, a federal watchdog warned on Tuesday. … In the worst-case scenario, the panel said banks may be unable […]

Call me paranoid, but…

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

Not that it really matters whether the establishment right wing crazy or the tea party right wing crazy wins the day in Alaska, but… I was intrigued by the fact that Joe Miller is making an interesting article in his federal lawsuit challenging the way ballots are counted in Alaska. He is claiming that any […]

Yet another example of IOKIYAR

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

Imagine this guy a Democrat and imagine the hyperventilation on Fox, aided and abetted by the rest of the media. But this will be little noted nor long remembered. n one of the Tea Party’s biggest victories, Florida’s Allen West defeated incumbent Democrat Ron Klein in a rematch of their 2008 race. West, an Army […]

Things to come?

Thursday, November 4, 2010

This is interesting: The third candidate in the race could be the spoiler in the eyes of Republicans and Foley supporters. Tom Marsh, who started out in the Republican primary field before dropping out to run as the nominee of the Independent Party, won 17,223 votes, the AP reported. It’s probably the case that we’ll […]

Eating their own

Monday, October 25, 2010

It’s something of a truism that revolutions eat their own, which is further proof, if proof be needed, that the American Revolution was a horse of a different color-a rebellion, but not a revolution. It appears that even billionaire funded faux revolutions may follow the same pattern, as Karl Rove is finding to his discomfiture. […]
