[If you don't like blunt talk and street language you should move on the next post. BTW, I've pretty well had it being nice. I may go off from time to time. 5 years of almost fulltime fighting has left me broke and angry towards those that so damaged our Constitution and the image of [...]

The NY Times reports that members of Congress indicated earlier today that “they were close to hashing out an agreement on a proposed $700 billion bailout of the financial system, hours before a meeting at the White House to complete the deal.”
There’s no doubt about it, our financial system is in a fine freakin’ mess [...]

Ok. Let’s get down to it. A former beauty queen, with no substantive political experience, who is anti-choice and a creationist , and therefore anti-science, is now supposed to become the Vice President. She would be just one heatbeat away from the Presidency. Doddering around the Oval Office will be her elderly President. One heartbeat [...]

An independent agency of the RNC is running an ad using Hillary Clinton’s words from the primaries against Obama. Politico reports that Clinton has responded to the ad:
“I’m Hillary Clinton, and I do not approve that message,” Clinton tells the New York delegation of McCain’s ad that features her old criticism of Obama.
