Nail. Head.
I’ve been over the presidential primary for awhile now. I no longer listen to CNN or POTUS08 on the ride home. And Keith Olbermann? I forgot what he looks like. But I can’t help but be pulled back in when I read things like this: ..it’s a reminder that though the clich√© is to say [...]
It’s a game.. no really it is!
Yup..under the “now I’ve seen it all” category… a video game called “Miss Bimbo”. Yeah I know, heads are exploding everywhere…. Check it out here, read the rest of the article here. Things don’t bode well for Sweet Potato. Ever since all this ‚ÄúSave the children!‚Äù hysteria started over Miss Bimbo, the online game site [...]
American Family Outing Seeks Dialogue with Mega-churches
An “American Family Outing” is taking shape in the spring of 2008 so families can talk with mega-church leaders and congregation members to share the message that justice for LGBT people is compatible with Christian teaching. Pot lucks, picnics and soulful talk are the order of the day as Soulforce, the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan [...]
GET A GRIP, for the love of God
I hope everyone will agree with me that when Sheila Jackson Lee gets booed just because she has chosen (so far) not to drink the Obama Kook-Aid, things have gotten out of control. I mean, yeah, let’s get all us Hillary people together and go boo Ted Kennedy! BRILLIANT! I think Mark and Cathy should [...]
W the movie
Oliver Stone to Begin Filming Movie About Bush Stone has said that the film, which will focus on the life and presidency of Bush, won’t be an anti-Bush polemic, but, as he told Daily Variety, “a fair, true portrait of the man. How did Bush go from being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful [...]

Tonight on Frontline
As painful and infuriating as it is to watch things like this, we should all bear witness to the massive failures and deadly consequences of this toxic Republican administration. We need to know (or be reminded of) the full truth about the Iraq War and tell it over and over again. Thanks to the amazing [...]
One Mike Jacobs challenger in a nutshell
Dunno about y’all, but I haven’t seen too much personally from “I’m a Democrat – sike!” Mike Jacobs’ challengers thus far, but Keith Gross made the rounds at the most recent Young Dems of Atlanta happy hour, and I thought y’all might like to see his campaign lit (below the fold). It really passes several [...]
WTF?
It’s off to the Plaza for Cayne! Were you ever the treasurer or your middle school french club? Or your neighborhood association? What do you suppose would happen if while you presided over such a group their treasury went from $1000 to $60. Do you think they’d pat you on the back, take you out [...]
Friday Open Thread
This is what happens when creationists visit a natural history museum. Griftdrift, you may want to sit down before viewing. Doin’ it for the lulz: meet the griefers. This is not good. Not good at all. Aw, Mike, don’t be like that! We love you and your crazy campaign videos. The true cost of ethanol. [...]
Donald Siegelman released
Ex-Governor of Alabama Is Ordered Released In its order, the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta, said Mr. Siegelman had raised “substantial questions” in his appeal of the case and could be released on bond from the federal prison in Oakdale, La., where he has served nine months of a [...]
Trading folk art for flashy fear mongering
Some of you may remember Paul Broun’s homespun campaign identity from last year, but if not here’s a refresher. Well it appears Mr. Broun has gone all nouveau riche and traded his humble (and perhaps inadvertently successful) visuals for something much more, well, creepy. Clearly Mr. Broun now subscribes to the Republican model of campaign [...]
How close did McCain come to switching parties?
Democrats claim McCain and his party nearly parted What McCain almost never mentions are two extraordinary moments in his political past that are at odds with the candidate of the present: His discussions in 2001 with Democrats about leaving the Republican Party, and his conversations in 2004 with Sen. John Kerry about becoming Kerry’s running [...]
