I don't normally like to make posts that direct you to an article without taking the time to put together a synopsis and my analysis, but I'm in a hurry this morning, and want to make sure y'all see this...
Bwak and Lis were having a conversation a few days ago about the screwed up dashboards and commenting, and at that time mine was functioning just fine. (she thought smugly.)Today, I finally got the disease (or whatever it is.)My dashboard...
Just in case y'all are running out of things to blame Obama for, I've come up with some additional ideas for you:Jupiter is missing one of its stripes. I'm pretty sure he took it.Sonny and Carly had sex. I had...
This is something that doesn't happen every day, so read and either talk me down, or gloat...I love my Prez. I won't go into all the reasons. You either know already (I haven't been shy on the subject) or you...
This tribute to Moms has found its way into my inbox a number of times. I have no idea who wrote it, but I thought today was a good day to pass it on to you guys.Before I was a...
The article on TPMDC about the White House opposing the provision in the financial reform bill to audit the Fed has me concerned.Now I realize that there are probably many pros and cons to auditing the Fed. It seems a...
I'd like to try an experiment, for the sake of seeing if a group as diverse as this can come up with some consensus, because I figure if we can do it here, it should be able to be done...
Today is the one we have been dreading for months. The one when we will lose our friend. Our companion. Our "furry" child. The one who loves us when we are our most unlovable. The one who is always there...
By now everyone and their brother is aware that American Dad's post here is the buzz of the blogosphere! The recs and comments are off the charts, there are diggs galore, and it is being linked to other major blog...
I have been mulling over an idea lately that has me a bit distressed. This nation is just horrifically divided. It isn't just a political divide, as if that isn't bad enough. It is religious, economic, racial...in almost...
I've got about ten different posts swirling in my head, and some are more pressing than others. The most fundamental one deals with the systemic problems of our two party set up. And as much as I think we need...
For the sake of this piece, "bots" are those who are accused of blindly supporting Obama, no matter what, and "children" are those who have either given up on or are so pissed off at him that they are considering...
Somewhere in the process of growing up, I learned to problem solve, and after being married to the same man for 37 years, raising children, and owning my own business for 20 years, I am pretty good at it. One...
By now we've all heard some of the stories in the new book, "Game Change." Harry Reid has gotten the most press I've heard for his insensitive remarks (which I really can't get too upset over given that they were,...
tlees2 queried us about our "worst" movies, and it got me to thinking about my favorites. So how about it? A list of your all-time favorite 5...the ones you watch over and over again, year after year. The ones you...
Have you ever wondered what the planners of the 9/11 attack must be thinking as they see the results of their handiwork? Do you think they ever in their wildest dreams thought they would be so successful?Even from the beginning,...
For nearly a year and a half TPM has been my sanity. My place to go when none of the rest of the world is making any sense. But more and more I'm feeling like I've fallen down the rabbit...
I've spent the morning reading...I don't even know if I should share the articles with you since I've found them so depressing, but the bottom line is, we're deluding ourselves into believing we can continue going down this same path...
