First of all, YDS has a great post up by Brent Gray. Worth a look for sure. He had a simliar message up at BSB earlier and he continues to hammer away in this one. I’m really beginning to love this guy.
What I want to point out in all the racial flap […]

Kelso over at the RABid blog lays out the conservative Republican standard on the 9th commandment. Apparently, if you are telling a joke you are allowed to lie. At least that’s my read on it.
So let’s see, it’s OK for me to tell that joke about how I flew across the Atlantic […]

Because waging the war on gays is more important than waging the war on terruh, the Army has kicked out a gay Arab linguist. Here’s the best part. In what I would call the ultimate irony, Bleu Copas enlisted shortly after 9/11 due to a strong sense of duty to country. Too […]

First Deboarah Pryce couldn’t spell her own name. Then violates FEC rules. Now this:
(via FoxNews) WASHINGTON — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce began running ads Thursday praising Republican Rep. Steve Chabot for voting for the newly implemented Medicare prescription drug coverage.
One problem: Chabot voted against it when the plan passed in 2003.
Whoops.

Next up is a band i hope you’ll all like. They are called Purge and this song is called Dig, featured on their 1996 Magnetic Planet release. Bonus points for identifying the singer.

Note to political candidates: The Federal Election Commission doesn’t want fundraisers using your name in vain. Even if you’re the one getting the cash.
At stake are joint political fundraisers, a common practice for politicians and their party organizations to cast a wider net for campaign dollars. To do that, they must register a joint […]

This theme is going to blow up in Republican's faces over and over again. The notion that they are "independent voices" and that they literally run away from being a Republican. First Steele does it, then the leader of the freakin’ NRCC does it. DeWine does it. Deboarah Pryce does it. […]

Here’s an old game: Put out some horrid shit on your opponent. Get called on it. Claim the rogue staffer was acting on his own. Fire him. Try to shift the message back to your opponent. I think it is on page 32 of the Rovian Handbook of Political […]

(I was down at Tiberi’s office with Bob and watched him sign the pledge. Photos and more thoughts on this a bit later)
Columbus Ohio: Former Congressman and current 12th District Congressional candidate Bob Shamansky (D) today traveled with several concerned constituents to the Westerville district office of his November opponent to unveil a major […]

The Dispatch recently reported on the Shamansky camp pulling a photo from their website of a retired General with Bob Shamansky at an event. They were old friends and he agreed to pose with Bob.
This is where it gets interesting:
Democrat Bob Shamansky’s congressional campaign recently removed a picture from its Web site after the […]

In honor of my childhood hero and good friend (ahum) Muhammad Ali, I will now adopt the chants of the children of Zaire from 1974 as my political cry. Look for it in posts, but more importantly listen for it at events or just while driving down the street.
That guy standing on […]

Wow. Anyone else find this incredibly dualistic and indicative of the horrible state of foreign policy our current administration - led by PNAC neocons - has given us? Expedite bombs to one side, humanitarian aid to the other. What the hell is wrong with us?
U.S. Speeds Up Bomb Delivery for the Israelis
Bush […]

Shamansky! Bomaye!
I’ve been telling ya’ll this for some time now. Republican after Republican continue to tell me that they are going to break with the party for a change. Bob is one of those they are breaking for. It is unreal to see the support by non-Dems of this guy. […]

Welcome to the Plunderbund late night jukebox hour. Tonight we feature Quicksand and a song called Backward off their Manic Compression release. This album was in heavy, heavy rotation among my bandmates and I back in Nashville.
