There are real people with actual livelihoods at stake here. Stop playing childish games and just approve the budget so you can back to bickering about truly pointless things and being generally irrelevant and overpaid. This isn’t funny. Sincerely, A Concerned Consituent
A bailout analogy
I was talking with a friend of mine about the horrors and pitfalls of our current economic crisis. We discussed such relevant topics as, how in God’s name can we afford $4.6 TRILLION worth of bailouts? And also, why are AIG executives taking taxpayer-funded retreats? While we generally agreed on a great many debatable points, […]
Isn’t it beautiful?

Going to the Barack Obama rally
Democratic Presidential nominee hopeful Barack Obama has planned a rally tonight, right here in Des Moines, IA. The wife and I discussed it, and we plan on attending.

With a resounding victory in Iowa, a follow-up in New Hampshire will put him on very solid footing for the rest of the Democratic nomination campaign cycle. And then, it’s a harsh fight against whoever […]
My first caucus

Last night, I participated in my first ever caucus, and I have to say, I am fairly pleased with how the process works. There are some detractors who think that the Democratic party caucus process is “undemocratic”. I […]
Democrats take the House and (maybe) the Senate
The jury is still out on the Senate (we’re hoping to pickup Webb in VA after a vicious recount there), but we can easily and happily claim the House and place Nancy Pelosi as Speaker–and third in line for the presidency, I might add–starting this coming January. Along with that, we kept a Democrat as […]
You need bombs for world peace, right?
Link: Physorg.com The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the San Francisco Bay area and the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico are competing to design America’s first new nuclear bomb in two decades. You know, I was just thinking the other day that we really needed a new nuclear weapon design. Critics say the […]
