Keep Your Eyes On The Prize: Both Clinton and Obama Predict Eventual Unity for the Democratic Party

Listen up naysayers — Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama predicted “eventual unity” for the Democratic Party today. That’s right… “They may bicker daily over issues, character and innuendo, but both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama appear to agree on one thing: Democratic voters will coalesce around a nominee and carry him or her [...]

Dick Morris and Sean Hannity Spread Chelsea/Sept. 11 Lie About Hillary

Long-time Hillary-hater Dick Morris, appearing on Fox’s Hannity & Colmes, told the same lie about Clinton that he told four years ago–that she falsely stated that Chelsea jogged around the World Trade Center and was only protected because she went into a coffee shop and that she heard and saw the planes hit.
Clinton said nothing [...]

The Foreclosure Bus Tour

The latest fad to come from the housing bubble, that has indeed burst, is the “Foreclosure Bus Tour.” Somehow the idea of this seems a little off to me. That Realtors are commercializing the process of selling foreclosed homes is just a little sad in my opinion.  
Realtors are using the bus tours to show multiple homes [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Just so you know, I am very grateful for being able to write this round-up, after having gotten myself stuck in my basement (longish story)!
After screaming and wailing for about fifteen minutes, my “MacGyver” instincts kicked in and I was able to create a contraption to extricate myself before I was overcome by cobwebs and [...]

Clinton Says Dems Race Is a ‘Long Way’ From Over, Looks Toward Convention

Aargh… I don’t do down and out very well at all… Given that, although I’m still in pain and having a feeling it will take a few more days of rest before I am back to my usual overworked self, here’s a little news update…
In an interview with FOX News’ Greta Van Susteren, which aired tonight, [...]

Why Won’t Obama Quit Wednesday

By now, most folks have seen the latest Rasmussen poll indicating 22% of Dems think Obama (and Clinton) should drop out of the race. Matt Yglesias needs to get “credible party leaders” to put all us Hillary Clinton folk in our place because we don’t know any better. Well, in honor of all the WWTSBQ [...]

Continuing the Discussion About the Election and the LGBT Community

A couple of days ago, I wrote about the inconsistency in Obama’s treatment of LGBT issues. As an afterthought, here are the open letters to the LGBT community from both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton and Microcredit Loans

Last night I was in the company of friends, one of which is apparently an Obama supporter. That’s the only way I could explain the frequent snide, demeaning comments at Hillary’s expense. I didn’t confront this person because its pretty pointless at this point. We already voted, being Californians, and few hard core Obama supporters [...]

Quote of the Day

“Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.”
Morris Kline
And here I thought it was just me screwing up. Interesting.

Down and Out

Just a quick note to readers: I’m down and out today with a bad back. Hopefully some of our other writers will pitch in and throw up some posts here today.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

My husband asked me what was up in the news, today. I told him, “same schtick, different day” (or words to that effect). I continue to stand by that assessment.
I think this youtube expresses my mood: The Right Life - Seal
Some folks in today’s Ten Post Round-Up are most definitely NOT “living the [...]
