Liberal Bias In The Media?

I really had to post a few quips from this piece below, because I was listening to a little right wing talk radio over the holiday and heard a caller complaining about how the reported news is all bad these days: “The drive by media is so liberal that they just won’t ever report any of the […]

‘Joe Is Right’….

And Joe Biden makes more waves in Iowa. He may have a better ground game than has been reported too. Biden has raised the funds to hit the newspapers withan effective ad this week as well.
An educated hunch by many is that he and Dodd are both going to do better than expected. They are […]

Ten Post Round-Up: Lazy Monday

Oh, snap! It’s Monday!
Don’t you just hate the Monday after a major holiday? Makes me glad that I’m a stay-at-home mom, Sunday thru Wednesday and that I home-school my children so that I don’t have to wrestle with them on Monday mornings. I can enjoy my morning cuppa in peace and snicker at the rest […]

GOP Running Short, Enlists Rich Candidates

The GOP has been running short with fundraising for months now. They can’t seem to catch up to the Dems who have created an enormous fundraising gap for the GOP. So, in a bind, the GOP is turing to candidates who can bankroll their own campaigns:
Republican Party officials are aggressively recruiting wealthy candidates who can […]

McCain Escalates Partisanship

If John McCain didn’t exist, BUSHCO would have to invent him.

Do we teach our children the right life lessons?
By Robert Freedland
As our children have grown, it has been a tradition in our family for us to read them books […]

Solidarity

I know a little bit about unions.
My father was a union man, as was his father. Railroads in the first instance, and rocket motors later. In my 60 years, I’ve never wavered from my conviction that unions have been an unmitigated force for good, even when I’ve seen them be their own worst enemy.
The amount […]

Ten Post Round-Up: Sunny Sunday Morning

Dear reader, I promised you that starting today and for the next week, I would post nothing but good news in my Ten Post Round-Up and I will do my best not to disappoint you this Sunday morning.
First, we’ll start with a little music, this Sunday morning (a little Maroon 5, to appeal to your […]

In the news… Topps will liquidate company after massive beef recall
Topps Meat, which issued the nation’s second-largest beef recall ever, has filed papers to liquidate the company.
Topps was one of the largest makers of frozen hamburgers before potentially fatal bacteria were found in its patties, compelling it to halt production and issue the recall on […]

Closed for Renovation: the National Labor Relations Board

Written By National AFL-CIO Organizing Director Stewart Acuff in light of nationwide protests taking place targeting the National Labor Relations Board:
During the week of November 15, thousands of union members and their allies marched, rallied, handbilled, phoned in, did street theater, and otherwise raised hell at the offices of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in […]
