Lipstick on a pig


Great article from TPM about the Clinton campaign and the craziness surrounding the rules meeting Saturday.
We could not lose.
Until Hillary started to.
In spite of the fact that her campaign badly misjudged the American mood with their campaign message of experience over change; in spite of the fact that they blew through money like water with […]

ZOMG


I wish I had something cogent to say to this, but I just don’t. I’m literally left speechless.

“Howard Dean is a leftist freak!”


This is madness.
Howard Dean may hope that the “healing will begin today,” but two blocks away from the northwest Washington Marriott where the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee is meeting right now to try to figure out Florida and Michigan, the Hillary protesters are occupying an utterly alternate (and healing-free) universe: a universe in which […]

No *WONDER* we thought Iraq had WMD…


This is so bizarre, I almost can’t believe it’s true. The SITE Intelligence Group (who monitors terrorist communications as a service) released a report that - allegedly - said the following image was created as part of a pro-terror video.

Media reports: “The SITE Intelligence Group said that the image, showing a ruined Capitol Building […]

More bizarre wingnuttery… over “terrorist-wear”


Yesterday, Michelle Malkin had a freakout over an image of Rachael Ray wearing what appears to be a keffiyeh - the traditional middle eastern headwrap - as a scarf, as is apparently the style now. Malkin called it “hate couture”.

Unfortunately for Malkin, it’s a clever bit of clothing that is very handy. So […]

Clinton propaganda poster


So… this is a fine piece of propaganda art. As an art piece, I actually like it quite a bit - I might even buy one to frame and display in my home.. But I can’t be the only who notes the irony here, right? Clinton is clearly ripping off the Obama […]

I Believe The Patriots Should Be Allowed To Continue Playing Super Bowl XLII


I am continually amazed at the high quality snark to be found amongst NFL blogs. (The post from a Chicago blog opining about what really goes on in Sexy Rexy’s head is one of my all time favorites - and is now a general internet meme: ‘fuck it, I’m going deep’.) This time, […]

It’s the question that - for some reason - just won’t go away…


Is Barack Obama Muslim?

Talk about Astroturfing…


McCain’s campaign is actively urging supporters to post on liberal blogs spreading official campaign talking points. No, seriously. You even get some kind of reward for doing so.
Select from the numerous web, blog and news sites listed here, go there, and make your opinions supporting John McCain known. Once you’ve commented on a […]

Clinton’s core: Appalachia


While Clinton won Kentucky, as expected, last night, a general pattern has been coming to the forefront showing that the spine of Clinton’s support runs right down the west side of the Appalachian Mountains. DHinMI at DailyKos has produced a few charts showing the level of support on a county-by-county basis over the entire […]

Huge turnout at Obama rallies in Oregon


This kinda slipped under the radar this weekend, but Obama had an estimated 75,000 folks show up at a rally on Sunday in Oregon. Wow.

[Eric: I wanted to jump on here instead of make another post. This is the video from that rally. Simply amazing thing to see. Hopefully a […]

Pat Buchanan meltdown on Hardball


Discussing the Edwards endorsement of Obama last night, Buchanan managed to leave both Andrea Mitchell and Chris Matthews sputtering for words. It’s a long clip, but interesting.

McCain’s new yard signs…

GOP doing what they do best - ensuring government isn’t working for you


In all the hubbub over Dann - I guess it’s good to be focusing on more local issues for a change - we’ve overlooked the fact that John Boehner has been doing a heck of a job gumming up the works in the House, even getting the Republicans to vote against motherhood.
On Wednesday afternoon, the […]

Brian met Eric via his OH12 blog. They both live in Ohio's 12th Congressional District. He was convinced to join the Plundercrew and abandon his previous blog. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but both he and Eric brew their own beer so give a guess! I'll let Brian add more maybe [About the user in the Users tabe Bri]
