Dear President Barack Obama, I worked for you and I put my money out there for you. Although I paid for 3 tickets, I missed your speech in Charlottesville, because my son's football award ceremony was changed to...
Huffpo is asking people to report on April 15th TeaParties. I have volunteered, and was surprised to note the large number of speakers scheduled for Charlottesville this Wednesday (including my neighbor, Lawrence Eagleburger). To find out what was scheduled, I...
I caught this over at Huffington Post. I love the Sunday Liveblogging; so I think you'll agree that Huffo is still good for something.With special vibes to Bunnykitty!...
The financial crisis that is so obvious to all of us is no more important than the one we will soon face if the Supreme Court continues on its current course. What follows is a list of our current Justices...
OK. I want to see the clause that promises a bonus. I want to see if it looks ironclad to me. If everyone is guaranteed a bonus, why not just increase their salaries? I don't ask to see anyone's name,...
This is the next TPM Challenge -- First, an introduction: Quinn introduced me to a site that poses an annual question to erudite people. Some examples are, "What do you think is true even though you can't prove it?,"...
The election took place on November 4th, 2008. It was always close. It remains close, with about 200 votes out of MANY still in Franken's favor. Weekends passed with normal people checking out ballots. Their conclusions were evaluated by a...
Thanks to all who went over to ThinkProgress.org yesterday and rec'd my question. It was ranked as 3rd. When Podesta answered it (about half-way into the first screen), the answer is clear. The Health Care proposal coming out of this...
Ok, Am I the only person who cringes every time I click on anywhere here at TPM, and either see hideous abdominal flab staring back at me, or contrasting yellow next to amazingly white (but both unappealing) teeth?Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!...
I heard Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel interviewed on a local NPR station this morning; you can go here for it. He is Rahm's brother, and is a part of the Obama administration's health care team. This is a brief summary from what...
I have known this was coming for 23 years, and yet I am totally unprepared for this feeling. All my children are sleeping in apartments or dormitories rather than down the hall from me. I stayed home with them for...
I saw the advert on this site, and I've heard good things about FireFox, but I am pretty illiterate on this subject, so I am asking my friends here for advice. I just got my first MacBook, so I have...
Joe wants back in. He now respects Barack Obama; the same man who he formerly said did not "put country first." I won't go over the many quotes, but will he get away with this? I personally believe that Lieberman...
I just saw his new ad, and I heard for the umpteenth time that he has been serving the country since he was 17. He was born in 1936, which would put make him 17 years old in 1953. He...
I never knew that a person could write a blog, put it up for the community, and decline the comments of fellow posters. "Truthseeker" (an Orwellian name if ever there was one) has done it twice that I am aware...
I am pleased with many of the changes here, and I realize that the things that aren't working for me are likely things I haven't figured out yet. 1. How do you track your comments to see if you have...
I've just been watching Steve McQueen in The Great Escape, a story about American soldiers caught by nasty Germans and held prisoner during WWII. The soldiers are held in internment camps, and are subjected to verbal and physical abuse. The...
I came across this at Huffpo: Mr. McCain's advisers said that in his speeches, television advertisements and mailings, he would seize on a remark Mr. Obama made in an encounter with an Ohio voter, Joe Wurzelbacher, who had pressed him...
