  • The Cost of Choosing Endless War

    Booman Tribune

    Ft. Hood has exposed a terrible wound in the fabric of America, but that wound was there long before a lone gunman named Major Hassan decided to go postal on his fellow soldiers. Our ethical and moral values have been obliterated since September 11, 2001. Racism is on the rise. [...]

  • House Health Care Debate

    Booman Tribune

    You should watch C-SPAN. Rep. Tom Price of Georgia is yelling "I object" over and over again to prevent to the House from being able to proceed, or even talk. Update [2009-11-7 13:22:34 by BooMan]: The House is now conducting three votes. They are voting to Order the Previous Question, [...]

    Suburban Guerrilla

    Number of comments: 2

    No one’s money must touch anyone else’s money that might be used for an abortion, but no one ever asks me how I feel about my money being used to kill civilians in the Middle East. Oh well, they’re the moral ones, I must be missing something.

    Snowflakes in Hell

    Paul Helmke's statement on the Fort Hood massacre was so offensive it attracted the ire of a US Senator. Related posts:Right on CueQuote of the DayRon Paul’s Iowa Showing [...]

  • Pretty Good Ad

    Snowflakes in Hell

    The GOP is running a pretty good ad against Pelosicare. Interesting though, it's not really an exaggeration. Loading her bill in Safari made me have to restart, after it choked on the sheer size of it: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1wCI1PGoiI[/youtube] Related posts:Making Your Own Carry Ammo?Quote of the DayWorse Than Just Ammo [...]

  • Mental Health

    Inclusion by Michael Donovan

    Number of comments: 0
    Greetings:

    Back in 1994, while part of a team of people looking at problems in Portland, Maine, I suggested that mental health was becoming a serious issue, not only in Portland, but also throughout the country. Unfortunately, the idea of developing some form of response to growing mental health [...]

  • The Apartment Myth

    molovinsky on allentown


    Over and over, people contribute Allentown's problems to center city houses being converted to apartments, as if this occurred recently. Many will be surprised to know that almost all the converted apartments existed for over 60 years. When the GI's returned from WW2, the trend was [...]

  • Kanjo the trust buster

    Gort42

    A year ago the whole banking system in the United States and other countries came close to melting down. When Lehman Brothers failed and it looked like other giant investment banks might follow the government went into panic pass mode and the Congress authorized a $1 Trillion bailout that enraged [...]

  • Pathetic Democrats

    Booman Tribune

    Ezra Klein has a good breakdown of the three types of Democratic hold-outs in the House on health care reform. But it's a bit more than three types. There are anti-choicers who want to cordon off federal funds from reimbursing abortion providers. There are members of the Hispanic caucus who [...]

  • Answer Me This

    Booman Tribune

    It's pretty sad that even with a public option not tied to Medicare reimbursement rates (i.e., not robust), the House leadership is struggling like hell to prevent 40 Democrats from defecting and voting with John Boehner. You can lay the blame for that in a number of places, including the [...]

  • What Are They Supposed to Use? Harsh Language?

    Snowflakes in Hell

    The Freedom States Alliance, a gun control organization based in Chicago, hints that they think even the military probably ought not have guns, and can't be trusted with them: Such a definitive statement from the commanding general of the largest American base demonstrates the military’s own concern about the easy access to' [...]

  • Williamson Derringer

    Snowflakes in Hell

    If Bitter had more money, I'm pretty sure she would collect derringers. She's a big fan of them, and I'm sure she'd love this Williamson Derringer here, and even has a nice heart and gemstones on it. Shoots .41 rimfire. Related posts:DeringersI Hate GuiltGun Review: Marlin 917VS-CF' [...]

  • Quote of the Day

    Booman Tribune

    Brilliant: "[Cornyn's] trying to find candidates who can win. I’m trying to find people who can help me change the Senate," said Jim DeMint of South Carolina, a leader of the conservative bloc. "To think we can grow the party by picking people who are more liberal and don’t share'" [...]

  • Parallax

    The Pennsylvania Progressive

    It's always interesting how different people have different points of view about an event.

    Case in point:

    On Wednesday 28 October there was a meeting.

    Officials from the library were invited to meet with Senator O'Pake at the SE Branch Library.

    The officials turned up and were rather surprised to see Mary Young from' [...]

  • House Call on Congress

    Pawatercooler.com

    After receiving no answer from emails requesting town hall health care meeting with her constituents, I took up Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann’s call to make a house call on our congressional representative. Despite less than a week’s notice, up to 50,000 Americans from across the country gathered at the steps of the [...]
