The Mansfield News Journal published a bullshit opinion piece today titled Strickland not a man of integrity. It starts like this:
When George Voinovich took office in January 1991, many Republicans were awaiting the firing of Democrats who were employed by the State of Ohio. Gov. Voinovich, being a man of integrity and honor, […]

In an editorial titled Romney should not be the next president the staff of the Concord Monitor provide and anti-endorsement of Mitt Romney.
The Monitor’s editors call Romney “a disquieting figure who sure looks like the next president and most surely must be stopped. ”
The end of the piece sums up the candidate and his phony-baloney […]

The Blade is reporting that 8 same-sex couples signed up yesterday for Toledo’s new domestic-partner registry.
Congrats to the couples- and to the city of Toledo for helping to move our state in the right direction on minority rights.

A slight deviation from the normal PB Late Night Theater… this one is a kid playing the final song on Guitar Hero III on expert. My eyes melted and fret hand started to hurt just watching. Insane.

It’s not that I actually like this song. It’s that I’m shocked that the kid can […]

Unreal.
When Congress sent an energy bill to President Bush for his signature, it arrived in a Japanese-built Toyota Prius hybrid — a move that rubbed two Michigan Republicans the wrong way.
“It is a huge slap in the face, calculated I believe, just to demonstrate their complete disregard for the domestic auto industry,” said Rep. Candice […]

For all of their anti-gay rhetoric, there is one man all Republicans seem to be gay for: Ronald Reagan.
Recent proof in Ohio comes in the form of a bill from Rep. Batchelder who introduced HB 417 today.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 5.2238 of […]

You know those FW:FW:FW:FW: emails you get from your favorite aunt? Deep six right? Yeah, me too. Until now. Thanks Aunt Geraldine!

It’s official - the Republican minority in the Senate has surpassed the all-time record for obstructionism in the Senate in just half a session of Congress by blocking more bills via filibuster than any Congress before them.
A new report released today by the Campaign for America’s Future details the 62 times conservatives have used the […]

On of the guys who bleats loudest about the “War on Christmas” (other than Bill-O, of course) is Bill Donahue of the Catholic League. He’s now criticizing Huck for injecting too much religion into politics, specifically about his latest television advert.
Donahue, the president of the Catholic League and an ardent defender of Christmas in […]

I’m still trying to make sense of this press release about independent supporters of the Sirius/XM merger.
It starts like this:
The Mayor of Nashville has joined Citizens for Community Values and Americans for Prosperity as the latest supporters of the pending merger of XM Satellite Radio and SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
The Mayor Nashville - a large, […]

This video is a bit long by YouTube standards, but really good. You may recall Brian’s post about “Deer Hunting with Jesus” in which Joe Bageant tries to explain the intricacies of the southern mind from his perspective in rural Western Virginia. I read that book shortly after Brian posted and finished it […]

Oh my. Strict constructionist judges? That’s what every kid hopes to see under the tree Christmas morning!

Is that a cross over his shoulder? Sure as heck looks like one. Especially how it’s lit. Huck really wants you to know he’s a Christian.

Word on the street is that Tom Tancredo is going drop out of the presidential race today.
And I say good riddance!
Hopefully this is a sign that his aggresive anti-immigrant and anti-gay rights messages no longer resonate with American voters.
Hopefully he’s learned that intolerance and hate are not characteristics of a winning presidential candidate- or even […]
