I offer this sexy picture as a peace offering to the hopelessly deluded gay Republicans. I'm kidding. I'm not. You decide. Have you ever known a gay Republican? I've known a few. In fact, I have a friendly couple of ours who are decidedly right-of-center. Fiscally conservative, they'll say. Nobody really falls for that far-right, socially conservative crap. That's for the rubes. Except it isn't. Particularly right now. There was a little hope in the early days of the "Tea Party," the... Read Full Story

Grover Norquist is basically a lobbyist. But he has the GOP wrapped around his unelected, politically naive finger. Grover thinks there should never be a tax raised for any reason, under any circumstance. But who the fuck is Grover Norquist, and why should anyone care? http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url;=example.com&title;=TITLE&bodytext;=DESCRIPTION&topic;=TOPIC Read Full Story

With the economy improving on most fronts, and an upward trajectory for quite some time, it is no longer assured that the Republicans can win on "it's the economy, stupid." Because, if the economy is improving under President Obama's leadership, why should we change horses? An excellent question. But one sticky wicket is gas prices. Gas is at about $3.50 per gallon on average right now, which isn't--by far--an all-time high, but it is higher than it has been in a while. Why? Demand is down... Read Full Story

Is this genre savvy , or genre blindness ? Self aware, or simply clueless? I don't know, but Rick ( don't Google me ) Santorum making an ad that features Mitt Romney shooting brown goo?

A certain segment of the American populace loves to pretend that they're put apon, marginalized and under attack. It isn't all religious people. It isn't even all Christians. It's the usual suspects: ultra-conservative, (usually) white, (outwardly) straight, (often) male evangelical Christians. There are others that ebb and flow in and out of this beleaguered lot, from Mormons to Catholics, but it's mostly those that I mentioned. They act as though they're outraged, but they're not really... Read Full Story

I haven't posted a clip from Countdown with Keith Olbermann for a while, probably because I can't get it on Cox Cable in Las Vegas. But this one is good. The only thing is, I'd give Andrew Breitbart a lifetime achievement award. http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url;=example.com&title;=TITLE&bodytext;=DESCRIPTION&topic;=TOPIC Read Full Story

As a sign maker, one of my dubious talents is kerning recognition, which is being able to see improper or proper spacing between letters. I also can recognize off-center and off-level signage nearly instantly. It doesn't come in handy often, and tends to annoy the production department.

Harry Reid and Yertle. Image from TPM. My first thought when I saw this story? What's the catch? There has to be a catch. The GOP in both houses of Congress don't tend to compromise, or make nice. Maybe I'm cynical, but I'm expecting the other shoe to drop, and then we'll have a couple of weeks of squawking about that damned shoe.

Oh, I just can't leave well enough alone, can I? I get happy news, like marriage equality in Washington State, and what do I do? I have to go dip a toe into the frigid waters of right-wing world. If you ever want to go for a dip there, the most distilled waters are in FreeRepublic.com. There you'll find the tea-baggin'est, god-fearin'est, Palin-lovin'est crowd of keyboard commandos anywhere on the internets. And they don't like gay people. At all. At all. At all.
