Editor’s Note – I haven’t decided yet if I will totally return to this blogging enterprise, but last night left me with thoughts that are begging, nay, demanding, to be posted. I’ll post a few throughout the day, including ones of only marginal utility such as this one.
John Dougherty showed up at the Copper Room [...]
So, our Senators, particularly Jon Kyl, have been throwing the term “Nuclear Option” around when discussing the horribly undemocratic concept of having something pass by majority vote. If having to get 51 votes for something to pass is the equivalent of levelling a city, what does it mean when one guy has a fit of [...]
So, back in 2003 and 2004, Joe Lieberman’s campaign did a heck of a job rounding up endorsements for his presidential run. He ended up with the backing of a healthy slice of the Democratic caucus in the legislature. He made several of trips to the state, even speaking to a meeting of the Democrats [...]
“Sources” are reporting that Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is ready to appoint former Democratic National Committee Chairman Paul Kirk to the vacant senate seat left after the death of Ted Kennedy.
Before anyone starts thinking that DC Comics has “retconed” Kirk just so he can serve as a Senator, remember that clones do once in a [...]
Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen our Republican legislators try to spin the legislative session. Sometimes, this comes off pretty darned pathetic.
The latest salvo from their side is the assertion that they could probably sue the Governor, but they choose not to. Mighty magnamanous of them. For some reason, some in our state’s [...]
Ya know, I was thinking. Yesterday, I wrote a snarky post about Ben Buehler-García’s website and not too long afterward, he changed it.
This leads me to wonder, can I make the Republican candidates make more substantive changes to their websites?
So, here is what I’d like to see: since all three of you support Proposition 200, [...]
Durring my years with the Young Democrats of America, I used to run with a guy named Rickey Cole. In addition to his exalted position within the YDA, Cole served as chairman of his county’s Democratic Party.
Back in 1998, Cole was doing election day organizing for Ronnie Shows, the Democratic candidate for congress in his [...]
A whopping 61 bills were “COWed” yesterday, meaning that these bills need to go through various “reads” today and tomorrow. Because of this, I’ve been told to expect whatever last minute “trailers” that need to be passed to make the budget palatable to the governor will probably not be heard until Monday.
I haven’t looked through [...]
The Republicans say that they have the votes to get their budget through the house appropriations committee today. Whether this means they have enough to get it through the full house remains to be seen.
There has been talk of a group styled the “Mushroom Coalition” of Republican members who have been disatisfied with the budget [...]
I caught Rachel Maddow making a reference to Dr. Manhattan last night. Since the movie isn’t out yet, I can only conclude that she, like me, was one of many angst ridden teenagers who read the comic shortly after it came out.
