Someone watches over us

Friday, October 18, 2013

Apparently someone once said, though no one know who, that “God takes care of fools, drunks, and the United States of America”. Given recent events, even we non-believers must pause and wonder sometimes. Consider this. The present day Democratic Party must be the most incompetent political party that has ever maintained its existence on the […]

Okay then, that makes sense

Wednesday, October 9, 2013

We all remember the meme about the tea party person who demanded that the government keep its hands off his or her Medicare. I spent a fair amount of time one day googling around to document that it was fact based, and while I'm not prepared to say it wasn't, I found no evidence that […]

Some help for Fat Tony

Monday, October 7, 2013

Antonin Scalia is, though it is hard to believe, a Supreme Court Justice. Supreme Court justices are quite knowledgable, as any one of them would be the first to tell you, but they can't know everything, and it seems that Fat Tony is puzzled. You see, he believes in the devil, but he can't quite […]

Founding Fondlers

Wednesday, September 4, 2013

Lately our historically challenged right-wing brethren have, against all the evidence, taken to ascribing their own beliefs (or beliefs they pretend to hold) to our sainted Founding Fathers. If we are to believe them, our forefathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in religion, and dedicated to the proposition that all men […]

Constitutional Law 101

Friday, August 23, 2013

Some good, if basic, discussion here about the right’s abuse of the 10th Amendment. The bigger problem, which author Robert Parry notes, is the refusal of the press to provide basic information to readers, many of whom will therefore come to the natural conclusion that there must be some validity to these specious arguments. The […]

Temporary birther

Wednesday, August 21, 2013

Seems that Ted Cruz has a bit of a problem. He wants to be president, but according to many of the people to whom he’s catered for the last several years, he’s not eligible. He was born in the People’s Republic of Canada, and if the birthers are consistent, they will have no choice but […]

Just when you think.

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

…they can’t find anyone crazier than the last crazy person they’ve nominated for, or elected to, some office, the Republicans outdo themselves. The folks at TPM ask how hard do you have to look to find an African-American candidate who thinks the three-fifths clause in the constitution was a good thing. Well, the Virginia Republicans […]

Inoculated

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

Well, [according to the Beltway pundits](http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-villagers-will-not-be-ignored.html), Obama has himself three scandals. Amazingly enough, one of them, about which the Republicans will take the least umbrage, actually does involve an abuse of power by people for whose actions Obama is responsible. I refer to his Nixon like pursuit of information about members of the press. Charlie […]

The Hispanic “Race” and other thoughts

Friday, May 10, 2013

Jim DeMint’s Heritage Foundation is catching flack for publishing the ravings of a white supremacist, though why that should be a surprise, I do not know. Prominent Republican lawmakers such as Marco Rubio has questioned the accuracy of the $6.3 trillion price tag. Then there are the revelations that the co-author of the study, Jason […]

A way of life

Monday, May 6, 2013

It seems that the folks in Burkesville, Kentucky feel unfairly put upon. Some people don’t understand why they feel perfectly comfortable giving real guns to five year olds, or why they can’t see how a parent that leaves such a loaded gun available for said five year old to shoot his 2 year old sister […]
