Bill and his little friend
We like New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson alright. We do remember him padding his resume with that baseball pitcher draft story. And we know he’s not what you’d call really comfortable around gay people. And his record of respect toward women is…not stellar.
But we’d forgive all that, and get behind Obama’s [...]

Did the Senate Minority Leader just say he’ll be happy to see Bush go?
A top Republican said on Friday that Democratic U.S. President-elect Barack Obama is “off to a good start” and indicated he was pleased to see President George W. Bush get ready to leave.
“Our members, in one way, are kind of relieved by [...]

Candace Gringrich
Only someone who really knows you can totally nail why you’re wrong, wrong, wrong. Newt Gingrich’s half-sister Candace does just that as she lets her big (and we mean big) half-brother know why his position on gay rights sucks.

I recently had the displeasure of watching you bash the protestors of the Prop 8 [...]

A sampling of disputed ballots
Wondering just how clueless your fellow voters are? Worry every time you vote that you might be a dumbass too? There’s not much reassurance coming our way from looking at the ballots in the disputed Minnesota Senate race. A recount is nearing completion, to decide whether incumbent Republican Norm Coleman or [...]

A stunning 30 percent of Floridians approve of the job Pres. Bush is doing, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll. That blows FOX News’ 29 percent and Quinnipiac’s own 23 percent national ratings out of the water.

Today’s entry comes via Editor & Publisher, which has, since [...]

Holy moly. I haven’t watched this video and don’t plan to but I did listen to the audio, knowing what the contents of the video were. Was that one reporter making a very black joke by asking the governor about issues on the chopping block? Either way, the tone-deaf top executive of Alaska is amazingly [...]

“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”
— Andy Warhol (1928 – 1987), artist, author

Perhaps nothing so clearly illustrates the positions of the two parties in Florida as the locations where each held its post-election/planning meeting this year.
Democrats likely reviewed the fact that they only picked up one seat in what should have been a year of sweeping victories while passing around a bag of chili-cheese Doritos
The 76 Republican [...]

George Bush was elected as the guy most voters would like to have a beer with — and now he leaves office as the American president whose hand world leaders will not shake.
