So the day is almost here and newly minted political junkies like me and old time junkies like many of my friends finally will have something real to chew on. But, is it really all that significant - or really fair? I've been learning more about how this caucus is going to work. There are... Continue Reading →
Humor Break
My dear friend Bill in Portland Maine has been on fire lately with his column on DailyKos. Since I have been somewhat politically minded (and already have Christmas vacation brain), I thought I would share some of his recent writings that struck me as so damn brilliant. Lest you be afraid to be offended, 1... Continue Reading →
This is going to be fun!
I am *really* looking forward to my birthday this year. No, it is not a 'Big' number birthday (although, the number does keep getting bigger dammit!). Nothing that ends in a 0 or even a 5. In fact, I am looking forward to it for reasons that have nothing to do with my birthday. Jan... Continue Reading →
Money money money money
The religious fanatics didn't buy the republican party because it was virtuous, they bought it because it was for sale by nupstateny Yes, I know that both parties are for sale, but still I like this quote 🙂 Jax pointed out that Oprah had on Michael Moore along with the president of AHIP, Karen Ignagni....

Proud, disgusted, and a recipe!

To go forward, put it in D. by TrueBlueMajority Yes, I picked a bit more contentious quote today, but that is because I am rather irritated at something going on in local San Diego politics. And because I do love that sig line :-)... Continue Reading →

Personally, whether sexually active or not, I will take the pill until menopause because it does such a fabulous job of regulating my cycles and preventing PMS symptoms. That's right, I take it NOT as birth control, but as a health aid. While... Continue Reading →
Chicago bound
The shuttle will be here in about 90 mins. It's been a manic 48 hours of course. Work is blowing up. Talk about a horrid time to be gone. The auditors arrive on the 20th. They want schedules done one week before and yesterday my staff member who is pregnant was told they would do... Continue Reading →
O’Reilly attacks my life again!
I swear this is the last time I will talk about this guy. However, in the span of the last week he has smeared my baseball team and now, my favorite political blog, DailyKos. The only reason that I even care enough to say something in here about it is that I know that a... Continue Reading →
Spin in the No Spin Zone
Well now. Who would have thought that I would find inspiration for a political discussion from Gaslamp Ball. Thanks to a user named Phantom though, I do 🙂 Now, normally I would not be highlighting anything Bill O'Reilly says. Much like Phantom, I have been known to listen to some conservative radio or visit their... Continue Reading →
State of the Media
A couple of comments here. One from Jim Hightower that had me laughing in total agreement. Read the whole thing - it is short. Pretty much echoing what I always say about the state of the 'news' these days. It is all Blondes, all the time bought and paid for by your favorite brand of... Continue Reading →
