No Way To Carry a Weapon

This story might halt the rush to gun stores, or maybe start a rush on holsters.

No way to get your rocks off.

Rmoney's World

This article is outstanding: imagine all the things discussed here times 10--that would be our world if Rmoney had been elected yesterday.


Butlers in the penthouse suite of a hospital, no health care for millions. Yep. R$'s world.

Passing of Earl Weaver and the Republicans

The great manager Earl Weaver passed this weekend. He wanted his epitaph to say "the sorest loser who ever lived." Sorry Earl, that epitaph has been stolen by the entire Republican establishment.

Lance Armstrong Books Moved

Lance Armstrong books moved to fiction section in Australian Library. That starts a trend, how moving all of Woodward's books from the Shrub years to the fiction section also. Better yet, the trash.

Tea Party Battle We Are Engaged In

Against Sandy Relief, for guns for everyone, against assistance for the poor, against Single Payer Health Care, for secession, for restricting women's rights, for elimination of the Voting Rights Act, for letting the United States default, for never cutting a dime from the Defense Department, for torture, and against the Violence Against Women Act.

To paraphrase Mr. Churchill: never have so few, done so much damage, to so many.

This is not the Battle of Britain, but the battle for the direction of the United States Government.

Prevail We Must.
