In this week’s address, President Barack Obama described the progress made during his trip to Asia, and detailed steps the administration is taking to spur job creation. The President explained how increasing exports to Asia Pacific nations can create hundreds of thousands of jobs in America and described the upcoming [...]
See, I’ve heard that from skeptics who don’t believe that I have such difficulty walking. Usually Right Wingers who believe that anybody who collects disability is some kind of Bum and Cheat. The answers are sort of simple, if you have a mind to learn a few things. The first [...]

Announcement from Sen. Josh Penry
Dear Friends,
This morning in a small park in Grand Junction I endorsed Scott McInnis to be the next Governor of the State of Colorado.
Experience and new energy are now on the same team, and that's good news for our state, our party, and the cause [...]
Congrats Johne!
I didn't do nothing. Julie did all the heavy lifting yesterday. If only we could get Congress to push out laws 12 hours at a time. -johne

It's a bit bizarre, to put it mildly, talking about fish in California and non-existent policy 'threats' to power lines.
McConnell--who calls himself the 'Cowboy Colonel'-- starts off [...]
"If you get to the final point and you are a critical vote for health care reform and every piece of evidence tells you if you support the bill you will lose your job, would you cast the vote and lose your" [...]
Don't know what "cool" Boyles is talking about. That he fooled a half-informed listener? That's' [...]
Penry backs McInnis for Governor
State Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, will clear up all but one final remaining question from his campaign for governor when he endorses former boss and former rival Scott McInnis today.
Penry, the Senate minority leader, withdrew earlier this month from the race [...]
Rep. Patrick Kennedy was banned from communion for supporting Health Care.
Bishop Tobin of the Diocese of Providence, RI. did the dishonors. It offends me as a Christian and as a human being that the Church would commit Hate Crimes or endorse Hate Crimes like denying people health care on the [...]
The next time Matt updates the Senate rankings, you'll notice that my Florida ranking has been changed from "Leans Republican" to "Solid Republican." I had held some hope that maybe, just maybe, we could take the seat, but that was predicated on Charlie Crist winning the GOp primary, and that [...]
If this year’s “Black Friday” fails to pull retailers out of their red ink, should the dubious protologism retire its presumption to speak for consumer confidence? I think it should. Wasn’t it really just an economist’s “for the Gipper” meme –putting [...]
The vote is in, and the Reid bill has passed on to debate by a vote of 60 - 39. And we don't even need to write the list, we can name them by memory. Debate will begin following the Thanksgiving break.
I watched the last several hours of discussion, and [...]
It’s not about Immigration, legal or undocumented, it’s racism. If they tell you different, they LIE! So a racist kid at the high school up there was harassing minority kids. Guess she figured that she was “heavy” with the Racist Teller Co. Constabulary. Subsequent events showed her right. Four days [...]
Democratic leaders secured the last votes needed to move ahead on historic health care reform legislation, clearing the way for a Saturday night showdown on President Barack Obama's top domestic policy initiative.
In long-awaited speeches, two centrist Democratic senators said they would stand with their party and [...]
It appears that things are still on for later today at the Senate.
Question 1: has anyone seen Max Baucus? I don't know that he's back in DC.
Question 2: has anyone seen Robert Byrd?
These should be two "yes" votes, but you have to play to win, and they need to [...]
Following seemingly quickly on the heels of the mammogram recommendations, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) published their pap smear data yesterday.
Immediately, people were up in arms about this being some sort of "plot".
Untrue.
The pap smear guidelines raise the age for the first screening to 21, say [...]

In a bid to keep the War Fever running hot, thus putting more Public Money into the hands of her Warmonger Corporate Masters. She already sold her own son into the war, and used his so-called “service” as just another political tool. She’ll rejoice if he gets his stupid head [...]
UC students are occupying campus buildings, in scenes gloriously reminiscent of the 60s. Debbie Downers have foretold that an antiwar movement would not catch the interest of youth until there was a military draft to affect them. They are right. We’ve seen marches and rallies for peace, but it took [...]
What is our country coming to?
Earlier today, we learned about an offensive, racist billboard right here in Colorado--attacking President Obama and comparing him to terrorists. The billboard was created by Wolf Automotive, at their location here in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Check [...]
For all Tancredo's boasting and blustering, running for Governor is [...]
Huge news for health care reform:
Sen. Ben Nelson announced Friday he will vote for a cloture motion Saturday that clears the way for Senate debate on health care reform.
Nelson, a centrist Democrat who holds one of the key votes required to prevent a Republican filibuster, said the Senate needs to [...]
UPDATE: According to a photo at 9NEWS, the sign's finished, with the large yellow rectangle containing "BIRTH CERTIFICATE." Classy, especially against the backdrop of pre-owned autos.
Westword, oh boy:
So... whaddya think? Is this billboard, on display outside Wolf Interstate Leasing & Sales, 4855 Miller Street in Wheat Ridge,' [...]
WHO WILL YOU ENDORSE IN FLORIDA SENATE RACE?
Will You Endorse Stimulus-Supporting, President Obama Hugging Charlie Crist Or Club For Growth Endorsed Marco Rubio?
Dear Governor Palin,
I noticed that you will be in Florida next week to promote your new book Going Rogue. As you know, Florida is home to [...]
I’ll admit to a disquieting feeling of topsy-turvy. Until now I would have advised war resisters to take the brig and let Bush’s Democratic successor grant them amnesty. But now a trial for the accused 9/11 conspirators approaches, worrying some that the additional protections of a civilian court might result [...]
Except that music is an expression shared by folks of all races, religions, creeds...and political affiliations. So quit arguing and start posting some tunes. All Russian videos must be saved for Sunday, homeys.

On the same day as the Ft Hood shooting (where the SUSPECT is a Muslim soldier) there was a “disgruntled employee” shooting at an office building in Florida and the next day a similar shoot-em-up at a clinical lab involving the first victims ex-boyfriend. We also started getting plenty of [...]
