YouTube Tuesdays Late Edition: Big Lebowski as Metaphor


Should need no further explanation.

“US Housing Market Crash to result in the Second Great Depression”


You might think the headline above, “US Housing Market Crash to result in the Second Great Depression”, is very timely.
But it’s actually from an article published over a year and a half ago. An article that, like so many other information sources at the time, accurately predicted the mess we find ourselves in now.
Here […]

Rothenburg Takes on Maggie Thurber


Former Lucas County Commissioner and Tom Noe conduit Maggie Thurber gets taken to the woodshed by Brian Rothenberg at ProgressOhio. I guess Maggie has been shilling for the payday lending industry, an issue ProgressOhio has been taking the lead on (Vote YES on Issue 5, btw).
Brian asks some really important questions (and […]

Sarah and the Supremes


Anthony Fossaceca at BlueOhioan crawls deep in the recesses of Sarah Palin’s brain to try to understand why she can’t recall more than one Supreme Court case (you guessed it: Roe v. Wade) even though a recent one impacted her state profoundly. Part of me thinks Anthony is helping with her debate prep […]

Early Voting Starts Today!


Today, September 30th is the first day of early voting for the November 4th election. A reader called to remind me of this. He also reminded me that you have until October 6th to register to vote. So between now and October 6th those who are not registered can do BOTH at […]

Daxx Dalton, Future Right-Wing Blogger


I know this story is old, but I just saw the fox news interview with Daxx Dalton- the 11 year old whose dad made him wear a crappy, home-made, anti-obama shirt to school and I thought it deserved a quick post.
I can just imagine the enlightened conversation that fills the Dalton household:
Dad: Hey son, why […]

YouTube Tuesday: You know you live in the ghetto when…


Some ice cream truck humor!

Bonus:

Good Morning Plunderbunders!


Did you have the same nightmare I did last night?

Well wake up!

The Couric Reel Gift Keeps on Giving


So McCain was with Palin when she was becoming a gaffe machine? His contributions are not much better:

His mannerisms while she is talking at first are absolutely priceless…and telling!
Thing is, it gets worse:
Of concern to McCain’s campaign, however, is a remaining and still-undisclosed clip from Palin’s interview with Couric last week that has the […]

Overheard: Twitter


Things have gotten so bad maybe McCain should suspend his campaign until November 4.

McCain Demonstrates His Hypocrisy to Ohioans


Remember when John McCain blasted Barack Obama for raising money in California? Went something like this:
“He talked about siding with the people just before he flew off for a fundraiser in Hollywood with Barbra Streisand and his celebrity friends,” McCain told a crowd in Ohio. “Let me tell you, my friends, there’s no place […]

HR 3997 Aftermath: the road forward


Dear Senators Obama, Biden, Reid, Byrd, Durbin, Dodd, Brown, and Representatives Pelosi, Hoyer, Frank, Wilson, Kaptur*, Kucinich*, Sutton*, Ryan, Space:
With today’s failure of HR 3997 to pass, largely due to the unwillingness of Republicans to support a bipartisan compromise bill, our financial economy continues to stare in the face of a total collapse. Action […]

Chris Matthews: John McCain Couldn’t Lead


Economy FAIL

Bailout Plan Gained in Popularity, Pressure Will Now Mount


Those Republicans cheering this might want to think twice about what just happened. Your Presidential candidate - who supported the plan and said he’d vote for it - just finished the dramatic move of “suspending” his campaign to come to Washington to make it appear as if he brokered a deal.
There is […]
