Bloggers Under the Bus and Over the Rainbow

I was going to do a nice staid article about the Fed and regulation but frankly it’s a nice sunny, tropical Sunday down here and it just doesn’t seem kind to overwhelm my brain or yours with Barky Frankisms and tales from the crypt of A(ll)yn Greenspan. I scoured my usual sites for inspiration [...]

A message from PEER

As a public employee, I found myself frequently in the position of watching higher-ups do things that were not ethical, responsible or mindful of the public welfare.  I have less problems with that now that I work for a University as a prof endowed with intellectual freedom.  Other agency employees don’t have that same protection.  I [...]

Politics Make for Strange Bedfellows

I’ve been watching some of the links showing up here at my blog and also at The Confluence.  Something really STRANGE is going on.  The Republicans are abuzz with praises for Pumas.  I’m reading blog after blog on the right saying that PUMAS may very  well save the country.  Check out these links.  It will [...]

Protest Voting 101

Player Queen:
Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife,
If once I be a widow, ever I be a wife!

Player King:
‘Tis deeply sworn. Sweet, leave me here a while,
My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile
The tedious day with sleep.
Player Queen:
Sleep rock thy brain,
And never come mischance between us twain!
Hamlet:
Madam, how like you this play?
Queen:
The [...]

Join the NO NO Sisterhood!

I voted in the Democratic run-off yesterday in Louisiana. I did something that I haven’t done for a long time.  I went down the list of candidates for judgeships and the various other races and voted for all the women. Something tells me I wasn’t alone in this when I heard second congressional district candidate Helena [...]

Why Does the DNC fear Democracy?

I used to enjoy the lead ups to conventions.  This was especially true when I was much younger and they had less of an advertising feel and more of a rough and tumble display of democracy-at-work.  I actually enjoyed watching both Teddy Kennedy and Jesse Jackson try to pull stunts, and then the Ford-Reagan Republican [...]

Shopping for Superdelegates

 
My friend Geeklove08 was approached by Dr. Lynette Long and Real Democrats USA to help expose the pay off of superdelegates by Obama’s Political Action Committee, the Hope Fund. 
Other examples of Geeklove’s great work can be found here:

My suggestion is that you write the superdelegates in your state and [...]

Monday Morning to Do List!

Just a list of actions worth taking:
Please sign Planned Parenthood’s Petition to stop the Bush encroachment on birth control.  The Petition states:
Planned Parenthood is gravely concerned that the Bush administration is considering a new HHS rule that would undermine women’s access to health care and information. The rule would allow federal funding that is specifically [...]

She’s Almost THERE! Just a LITTLE MORE!!

There’s still a little more work we need to do to help Hillary.  The MSM has mentioned that the obamanation has given hillary the paltry sum of about $100,000 during the last week, while PUMAs have helped her cut her debt down to under $4 million.  The DNC and the Obama campaign keep moving the [...]

Calling All PUMAS: Put the Visuals Out THERE for ALL to SEE!!

You’ve seen those little pink panthers with suction cups that stick to windows.  So here’s the idea … BUY YOURSELF a FEW!  Put them on your car. Drive around with your daily NO OBAMA message and make sure you let them know… it’s a PUMA action!!!  I’ve found them cheap and easy-ordering on the [...]
