Secretary Clinton Claims “Fast and Furious” Was News To Her, And Voices Grow Against Holder »

Gunwalking? Make that “Grenade Walking.” The Plot Thickens… »

Or rather the insanity that is the United States’ “Gunwalking” program thickens. Turns out a new “wrinkle” to the program has been revealed. It wasn’t just guns that made their way to Mexican drug cartels under the auspices of this bone-headed program, but grenades as well. Intrepid reporter, Sharyl Atttkisson reported for CBS News brings [...]

“Bigger Than Watergate” »

So say Obama officials about the “Fast and Furious” program, according to Sharyl Attkisson (h/t to Helenk for this article).

Birthers! Truthers! Mama Grizzlies! Tea Partiers! »

* Bumped Up * (Or the more offensive, homophobic term for Tea Partiers.) Crosshairs! Targets! The list could go on of the labels attached to groups of people or concepts by the media when they want to discount, demean, belittle, discourage discussion, demonize a group, or frame the issue how they want it to be, [...]

International Treaty Could Erode 2nd Amendment Rights »

We have been exposed to an education lately on International Law and the Rule of Law. Everyone has been following the torture memos and some of us have a quaint understanding of how the U.S. signing the treaty at the Geneva Convention forcibly influenced laws that we were required, by the treaty, to add to [...]

Will the NRA say he could have used a knife? »

(Bumped up by Administrator) CNN, in the url, calls it a “Shooting Spree”. You know, like a fun time shopping before the wedding. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/03/11/alabama.shooting.spree/index.html Personally, I think these insane incidents involving guns are completely avoidable. I also know that we have a mixed crowd here and I’m pissing off some friends. Too bad because I [...]

I’m Looking Through You »

The repudiation of Barack Obama continues unabated. It is something so unprecedented in American history to have so many rebel against the presumptive Democratic nominee even before he has been nominated. Yet another anti-Obama website has been launched and this one is by former supporters of the very junior Senator from Illinois. The Chicago Tribune‘s [...]

Hillfans not voting for BO, base-running, and education questions »

1) Over at the Guardian is an interesting two-part piece (part one here and part two here ) about how old, debunked and just plain vicious right-wing rumors and lies about HRC and BC are recycled by today’s “progressive wing” of the Democratic Party. Why this should be so is not explained (and is there [...]

From today’s editorial, “New and Not Improved“ in the New York Times: Senator Barack Obama stirred his legions of supporters, and raised our hopes, promising to change the old order of things.
