I wish I was making this up. I’m not. This is a hate email the author of a vegan blog received.
You people are going to ruin your little daughter and make her burn in hell like the two of you. You think you are clever and so does the devil. Only God has […]

This is a really, really, really big endorsement. Obama used it as a chance to subtly take a jab through the Senator for Massachusetts. Ted said (and no doubt was referring to Billary):
With Barack Obama, we will turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion.
With Barack Obama, we will close the […]

One of Bush’s visitors tonight at the SOTU is actually prohibited by US law from being here in the states. HT Sullivan.

From TPM:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) cloture vote failed 48-45 just now, well short of the 60 votes necessary.
In the end, four Dems crossed over to vote with the Republicans: Sens. Mark Pryor (D-AR), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA). Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) was the lone Republican to vote […]

The big news, of course, is going to be that the person who started the “Bill Clinton was the first black president” meme is not endorsing his wife’s opponent:
The woman who famously labeled Bill Clinton as the “first black president” is backing Barack Obama to be the second.
That is not her focus, as expected, and […]

First was Caroline. Then came Ted. That last one will be the shot heard. For some time people have mentioned JFK in the same breath as Obama. Caroline seems to back this view and the endorsement of her uncle will do much the same.
You’re bound to hear a great […]

Unreal:
“I think it’s important we send a message to the people of Michigan and Florida that Democrats care about their lives and their futures,” said Clinton, who denied she was breaking a party accord to stay out of those states. Barack Obama’s camp sees her move differently: “It seems like Hillary Clinton will do or […]

Um…WOW:

So Hillary is already in Tennessee and Edwards is cracking me up with how great these results are for him. Apparently they were polling at a Kucinich level and 18% is a great bump for them. LOL. Whatever. I almost wish Wolf would have just said that: “Whatever”. Edwards […]

My wife just forwarded me a link to this great post over at Open Left.
The author spent a few hours riding on an Amtrak train sitting in front of Rick “i hate gay people more than you” Santorum listening to him make call after call URGING people NOT to support McCain.
According to the post’s author, […]

John Boehner (R-OH), oft lauded among conservative bloggers in our state, is asking his party to “make sacrifices” in order to “sell” the Republican agenda in the fall elections. What sacrifices is John asking his party mates to make?

Republicans use earmarks? I am SHOCKED! Shocked, I […]

Just to prove that I’ve got a range of musical interests, here is greatest country musician ever, and IMO the only one worth listening to.

And because you can’t stop at just one Johnny Cash song…

I’ve been building up a rather long list of interesting science/evolution related pieces, and rather than spam my own blog with a huge list of related posts, I figured it was time for an omnibus! Content in the extended: all aboard!
