• Take it back Todd

  What a stupid wanker. Jason – I wasn't planning on emailing you this morning. But if you read what I just read, you’d know it’s time for action. Last night, Republican Rep. Todd Tiahrt crossed the line when he asked on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives whether President Obama’s mother would [...]

  My friend Michael Hathaway is the editor of the Chiron Review, a quarterly poetry magazine published in St. John, Kansas. He is a smart, sophisticated voice for the progressive movement in Central Kansas. Here is his post, originally on his myspace page. I was recently interviewed by an author for a [...]

• Four Missing Words

  I saw Jim Slattery’s new ad last night. Excellent job on the pushback. Pat Roberts has no problem with big government handouts as long as they are going to his largest campaign contributers. Slattery did a good job of acknowleging the attacks in Robert’s “didn’t show up” ad without sounding [...]

• John Edmonds and the Barton County Republicans — What a bunch of wankers.

  The Rebpublican Party here in Barton County just doesn’t know when to quit. Marty Keenan is running for Kansas State Representative in the 112th district this year. He ran in 2004 against entrenched Republican candidate John Edmonds. This district is 57% republican and 21% democratic. He lost the race by [...]

• Let’s talk about speculation.

  Anyone else damn near have a heart attack the last time they filled up the grocery-getter? I managed to fill up my car a few days ago for $3.53 a gallon and it was still over $40 to do it. We’ve heard all sorts of reasons that gas is so [...]

• I met Jim Slattery…

  I went to Marty Keenan’s kick-off party. Didn’t make it until late, but got to speak (very briefly) with Jim Slattery. This guy is a straight-shooter. I got the chance to discuss energy policy with him, and he makes a very strong case for nuclear power. The best part of [...]

• Maggie you ignorant slut.

  (props to SNL) I should know by now, that when I’m reading opinion pieces on Yahoo News in the morning, I should just avoid anything written by Maggie Gallagher like I do the rantings of Ann Coulter and Brent Bozell III; pissed-off and eggs is a breakfast that I never enjoy. So yesterday morning, [...]

• Slattery Runs new ad — Gas Pump

  Number of comments: 1
  Woohoo!!! Slattery just hit a good one. Maybe not out of the park, but he sure as hell put it into the stands.   gas-pump-transcript This is it! This is the pushback I’ve been waiting for! Roberts constantly bowing for the Bush/Cheney regime and going to his knees for the oil companies [...]

• Slattery posts ads on his website…

  and says absolutely nothing about Roberts being a slander prone ass clown. Now I know he can’t use that exact language on a campaign ad, but still no pushback over the whiny “Slattery is a lobbyist” bullshit. As for the ad that is supposed to be capturing the “youth vote”, [...]

• Where are the Slattery ads?

  
  

  Every time I turn on the television for more than 10 minutes, it seems like I see that useless, dishonest ad that Roberts is running attacking Slattery. I even saw it on CNN at the dentist yesterday (as if going to the dentist isn’t unpleasant enough).

  Pat Roberts is a [...]

  Number of comments: 3
  
  

  Topeka - Today, the Kansas Democratic Party filed an official complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against Roberts for U.S. Senate. Roberts’ latest negative ad does not meet the “Stand By Your Ad” requirements set by the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.

   “It appears as if Pat Robertswas [...]
