See update below

Last night…

She not only told of the horror of her own abuse, and that of other high school cheerleader

An Extended Definition Of “Emo Progressive,” And Why It Matters

Update:  This term has been recast as “Puritopian.”  Emo Progressive was never coined by either Joy Ann Reid or myself. It had already gotten traction before we came together and tried to give it greater definition. We succeeded, perhaps too well. Like others, we were never comfortable with it because it was far too disparaging

Short List of Progressive Achievements by The Obama Administration

In a pointed essay about how wrong some libertarian bloggers masquerading as progressives can be, Booman Tribune (@booMan23) outlines a very good summary of just  some of the major progressive achievements of the Obama adminstration.  Despite the incessant and destructive doom and gloom whining of a professional left that profits from all the

Grey Parker Educates Breitbart’s Dana Loesch: Because Someone Had To

Grey Parker is one of those bloggers you stumble upon when someone in your stream says "you gotta read this."  I did that some months ago, and ever since, I eagerly snap at his posts like a Venus Fly Trap that just got lucky.  Today, Grey decided to respond to the execrable new Tokyo Rose

There I was, out enjoying some well deserved sunshine on a lovely South Florida Memorial Day weekend, when, against my better judgment, I happened to peek at my Twitter timeline appearing on my ever-present Android mobile phone. Prominently littering my stream were many tweets from one David M. House (aka @axiarch),

Award Winning Story About Gitmo Torture Doesn’t Hold Water

I get asked a lot why I persist in relentlessly calling on serious journalists to investigate the outrageous hyperbole and egregiously distorted facts about accused Wikileaks source, Bradley Manning. 

Well, perhaps we now have a good example of why it mattered so much to me. It seems that a famous story about Gitmo torture deaths

Dysfunctional Family Portrait: A Primer On The Professional Left

I haven't even had breakfast yet, haven't blogged in a month, and I am still recovering from some weird 3-day, ass-whoopin flu or whatever, so this is gonna be rough. But I want to get it out there.  It's important.

My friend @rootless_e, whom I have been urging my twitter stream to follow (but

“I Can Hire One Half of the Working Class To Kill The Other Half”

I quibble over some of his choices at times, but as my readers know, I've been a big fan of the @punkPatriot since I first came across him.  If I had the spare change, I'd be putting him up in house somewhere, and pay him to make these videos all day long, so he didn't

Ronald Reagan: “Where Collective Bargaining Is Forbidden, Freedom Is Lost”

Flashback #1
   Well,well, well.. here's a "Dutch" treat.

After all the moronic and self-serving blather that conservatives have spewed about Ronald Reagan and unions in the past month, look at what turns up.  Now just imagine how they will twist themselves into balloon animals trying to spin this little historical artifact.  Wait for it.

In the meantime,
