Max Baucus is going fishing and a couple of other things…
Posted by: taggles on: June 19, 2009
How these people just flaunt this bullshit in our faces is galling! Lobbyists Will Cast Their Lines During Baucus’ Fishing Weekend Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus of Montana plans to take a break from the grind of crafting a health care overhaul to serve as a Democratic rainmaker with a few of his friends along [...]
Open Thread:

Lots going on, please bring discussions from previous thread. The Washington Post fires its best columnist. Why? One of the rarest commodities in the establishment media is someone who was a vehement critic of George Bush and who now, applying their principles consistently, has become a regular critic of Barack Obama — i.e., someone who [...]
Party Unity My Ass!
Posted by: taggles on: June 18, 2009
I’ve been noticing a lot lately on other blogs that many are coming out of the obamacon stupor. From torture to LGBT to healthcare to transparency to bank bail outs to the environment. Obama’s total reversal on many of his campaign promises have left many feeling betrayed. If you read almost any blog you use [...]

cross-posted at Katalusis The cool objectivity of Amy Walter’s political analysis is almost unnerving at times, especially to one accustomed to sorting out the spin of pseudo-liberal pundits from their mirror images on the right. In Walter’s On the Trail post yesterday at National Journal, she asks, “what if congressional candidates in 2010 have to [...]
Cooking in a Coffee Pot
Posted by: taggles on: June 17, 2009
Came across this heartbreaking, yet brave and courageous post written by a homeless man at Open Salon. I know there is a lot going on in the world right now, but this puts some things in perspective. How America has become so grotesque in so many ways is beyond me. I’ll let David Glenn Cox, [...]

According to MSNBC, Barack Obama is taking up another long held Bush policy that has been rejected by the Federal Courts twice. From torture, to lobbyists, Obama is about as transparent as a block of lead. The Obama administration is fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the [...]

So what is it about Obama’s failure to have principles that “liberals” don’t understand? Every assessment that PUMAs called upfront, where we said: Obama is without principles and cannot be trusted.

Revolution??
Posted by: taggles on: June 14, 2009
If all you did was watch TV, you would never know that a Revolution was occuring in Iran. The US coverage is a miserable failure. The “Revolution” is being twittered. I have been trying to find as much information as possible, but it’s difficult. Please post your links and sources and pics of this historic [...]
Morning Widdershins: Puerto Rican Day Parade Edition
Posted by: madamab on: June 14, 2009
Here in New York, we have a Puerto Rican Day parade every year, and this year, it’s today. It is one of the longest, rowdiest parades in one of the biggest melting pots in America. I have very fond memories of visiting Puerto Rico on a choir tour when I was a sophomore in college. [...]
