  • 1 Down. It's gone

    The Senate 2008 is gone from the Pulpit and has been moved to a secret location. Sigh, kind of sad to see it go. It will be re-born though... I'm very pleased with how things are going. [...]

  • Now what?

    This seems like as good a time as any to talk a little bit about some future plans for this site and some of my continuing actvities. As Mel hints (http://www.blogfordemocracy.org/2007/04/i_agree_with_jon_flack.html) at BfD, I will increasingly be devoting time to a project that I'm not really ready to talk about [...]

  • Thanks for proving my point.

    There is almost nothing better than having the Joe Lieberman of Georgia Democrats prove my point. I’m sorry, but if someone suggests that I enjoy US Soldiers being killed, the least they deserve to be called is a douche bag. Save your fainting couch for someone else. It’s strange that Erick [...]

  • Enough of Peach Pundit

    A small and meaningless post at Peach Pundit finally did it for me today. When Elizabeth Edwards was diagnosed with a re-occurrence of her cancer, Erick posted a link to a conservative Hillary Clinton satire site that mocked Ms. Edward's condition. It was funny , in a very awful way , [...]

  • Historical Revisionist

    Saxby wants to make us forget (http://www.macon.com/mld/macon/17052069.htm): It has been four years since American soldiers were greeted by jubilant Iraqis when they entered the heart of Baghdad. Since then, violence in the country has exploded as Sunni Muslims, Shia Muslims and ethnic Kurds jockey for control and influence. There is no question, [...]

I wish I had some audio of the recent dpg elections (nice watch, right?). The irony [...]

  • Jacobs and Black WTF?

    I've been trying to put the PeachCare vote into some perspective today after learning that 2 Democrats voted to lower the eligibility level (http://georgiawomenvote.blogspot.com/2007/03/this-is-unconfirmed-but.html) of the program. It's just inconceivable to me that a Democrat would vote for SB340. Inconceivable. Hell, Democrats even lost the griftdrift (http://griftdrift.blogspot.com/2007/03/crossover-day.html) on PeachCare eligibility. WTF? So [...]

There is absolutely no reason to vote for it, and the Democratic position should be about insuring MORE kids. [...]

For a lot of the same reasons as Melgx (http://www.blogfordemocracy.org/2007/03/note_to_kari_chisholm.html) over at BfD has explained, the leftyblog syndication is just not doing the job.

    State Senator Jim Whitehead writes letters (pdf warning: page 1 (http://www.peachpulpit.com/files/Whiteheadletter1of2.pdf) and 2 (http://www.peachpulpit.com/files/Whiteheadletter2of2.pdf)). I especially like this part: As a state senator in Georgia, I have a proven record on immigration reform. When the liberals bemoan the low voter turnout we often see, what they are really saying is that everyone [...]

He has a problem with bait hunters, and generally speaking, I do too. I just wonder if he realizes he is also calling Dick Cheney a pussy? [...]

    It wasn´t what I expected. The venue seemed appropriate: Manuel´s Tavern was getting ready for the St. Patrick festivities, highlighting the culture of that previously controversial immigrant group, the Irish. Interesting folks attended:a gentleman wearing a cap sporting the crossed Mexican and American flags; families (including young children) listening attentively, a distinguished [...]

  • I guess they are that stupid

    Republicans will vote to cut eligibility for PeachCare (http://www.blogfordemocracy.org/2007/03/bill_to_cut_peachcare_eligibil.html). Just so it can't get any clearer, Republican will vote to keep kids from getting health insurance, while Democrats will be voting to expand coverage (http://www.peachpulpit.com/index.php?option=com_content task=view id=268 Itemid=1) to all uninsured children. It really doesn't get any simpler than that. This comes [...]
