Letter to Whiny Democrats: Wake Up, Shut Up or Just Give Up.

Here it is…

A brilliant and important, five month old column by Mark Morford, written just after the disastrous midterms, which closely resembles a post I have written again and again in my own head.  But as my Twitter followers know, I’ve only been able to tweet (ok, rant) about it in 140

“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.

The World And Islam Have Both Changed: Why Hasn’t Our View Of Terrorism?

This morning, I awoke to the always insightful Krista Tippet—whose "On Being" is one of the only shows on faith and religion that I can listen to routinely—having a remarkable discussion with anthropologist Scott Atran, discussing how in the decade since 9/11, the Muslim world, and its youth, have changed dramatically… but our world

Why The Right Hates Washington, DC

Doug Terry is veteran television and radio reporter in Washington, DC who publishes the Terry Report. I read him fairly often, and for some reason, I am only now introducing him to you.

Jon Stewart Takes-Down Palin’s “They’re trying to silence me” Blather

Rarely has Stewart, or anyone else, taken this woman's bullshit and so thoroughly gutted it. This farce of a "politician" is an embarrassment to all Americans, past, present and future. 

Please retweet this widely by using the Tweet button below so that this video might get seen by millions. It doesn't just shred her credibility, but
