Rove vs. Judd: A conservative trap
There has been a flurry of media activity around Karl Rove and his rich Super PAC, American Crossroads, for its ‘attack’ ads targeting actress Ashley Judd. The ads are in reaction to Ms. Judd’s exploration of a run against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. The Hill says the ads blast Judd “as a Hollywood … Continue Reading →
Romney wins debate hands down: Wag the Turkey
Simply put, the core beliefs of conservatism that Mitt Romney provided in months of campaigning are over. It’s now Business Mitt, and I have to applaud him for going directly at the president.
Flagging faux Obama outrages
I’ve been off the grid for a couple of days dealing with real life, but I saw the latest conservative faux outrage over a poster the Obama campaign was offering that featured a stylized flag logo. The cacophony of wailing over this “horrifying” affront to our country’s flag was nearly deafening. Of course, a look … Continue Reading →
Republican lawmaker injures kids, sinks boat
Maryland lawmaker Don H. Dwyer Jr. is known as one of the most conservative lawmakers in Annapolis. He’s admitted to drunk driving his boat and crashing it into “a smaller vessel with five children on board.” Three children — ages 5, 7 and 12 — were hospitalized at Baltimore-area hospitals.

Former GOP spokesman calls for armed revolt
Given our political climate and the relentless Republican fear-mongering, it’s unsurprising the reaction to SCOTUS having upheld Obamacare is mixed. Nobody would expect a single Republican to cheer the decision. However, Atty. Matthew Davis is dancing on the knife edge of sedition with this response:
Political Sanatorium
The GOP may have the cure for what ails them, or perhaps they’re finally coming to terms with the nominee they most certainly have now. For a long time, a nutritious red-meat diet of political rhetoric kept the base healthy, even as the real ailment still hasn’t been cured, but tucked away from sight. So … Continue Reading →
No defense for Limbaugh
Predictably, right wingers seek to excuse Limbaugh’s indefensible attack on Sandra Fluke. But there is no equivalency between Limbaugh’s insults and lies over the course of several days about this young woman and any corrosive comments by any media personality on the left. Limbaugh didn’t just call Sandra Fluke a slut and prostitute once. He … Continue Reading →
