  • Sex Offenders

    Mary's Page

     

    Sex offenders may be a big issue we didn't see coming this session.  Gov. Tim Pawlenty brought the topic back to the forefront today by proposing to double the prison time for first-degree sexual conduct to 25 years.  Pawlenty pointed out that prison at [...]

  • What happens when you hand your enemy a club?

    Anti-Strib

    Sooner or later your enemy will hit you over the head with the club you gave them.


    (This ain't Machiavellian)


    Senior Chinese military officers have proposed that their country boost defense spending, adjust PLA deployments, and possibly sell some U.S. bonds to punish Washington for its latest round of arms' [...]

  • The Peasants Are Revolting

    True North

    I am seeing more and more examples lately of why you should not let your political adversaries define you.

    The latest meme circulating around the press and liberal circles (including President Obama) is this idea that the Tea Party patriots, Sarah Palin partisans, Republicans, and mid-America in general are stupid [...]

  • Strict Obedience Is Demanded

    Shot in the Dark

    Remember the great lefty whinge during the Bush Administration – “you called us unpatriotic?” (Of course, no lefty could name a single significant conservative who had called all liberals unpatriotic, or who were referrring to defined groups of lefties whose stances were proudly anti-American, or who were referring to specific policies [...]

  • Death Of A Talking Point

    Mercury Rising

    Number of comments: 1
    Remember how the Republicans were yammering to anyone with a microphone that the Democrats were going to cut Medicare Advantage as part of the health care reform package? Well, guess what: The Republicans don’t want to just cut one part of Medicare — they want to kill the whole Medicare program [...]

  • Superbowl as cultural event

    Anti-Strib

    As you know, any discussion of sports is usually forbidden on this blog. That said, I have allowed discussions of issues tangentially related to sports like public funding for stadiums and Olympian nudity.


    Superbowl XLIV was watched by 106 million people. The commercials have become an event themselves with classics [...]

  • Valentines Day PSA

    Anti-Strib

    I'd like to remind everyone reading the blog that Valentines Day is Sunday. This is an excellent time to remind the people you love that you do actually love them.  This means you should call your mom as well as let you significant other know. For Dad's with daughters, it's [...]

    Bob Herbert on why my open letter to bin Laden was not as outrageous as it may have first appeared to be: When it comes to employment, there are roughly three broad categories in the United States. The folks in the upper-income group are not suffering much, if at all, from [...]

  • Don"t speak ill of the dead

    True North

    Not bashing someone after they have passed away is an unwritten rule in polite society.  But every rule has its exception.  The headline might read Congressman Jack Murtha passes away, but for the soldiers and Marines stationed at Al Asad in 2006, he will forever be known as Traitor Jack. [...]

  • The Audicity of Blame

    True North

    Received in my inbox from Organizing for America:

    A few days ago, President Obama told a story about an OFA supporter in St. Louis who had volunteered during the campaign and organized her community for health reform, but recently succumbed to breast cancer.

  • School Funding

    True North

    We hear over and over the state of MN is broke. Legislators and the governor are already preparing to borrow another billion dollars for a bonding bill to reward a some of the states cities with community centers, zoo upgrades and union jobs. Our public servants are deceptively calling it a jobs bill. There is also a $2 billion [...]

    Shot in the Dark

    Number of comments: 2
    ….but I’m smarter than you. Enough about about Health Care reform. What do you think about Health Insurance Reform? Obama reminds me of the guy that says “Enough talk about me. What do you think about me?” There are many and several ways America has expressed it’s disapproval of reform of health care reform [...]
