New GOP Line: “Obama’s Lucky”

Remember 4 years or so when the Republican line was “Bush has kept us safe since 911 - no successful domestic attacks since then”? I had a libertarian friend who used to follow it up with, “Yes, and this pencil keeps me safe from Tigers. Haven’t been mauled once while carrying it.”
Well, the new GOP […]

Waterloo…but Who’s Playing Napoleon?

Every now and then, it’s refreshing to see a Republican step outside of the PR world they are always trying to weave, and tell the honest truth. Apparently it takes a abject defeat on their part to do it, but I can live with that.
David Frum below was President Bush’s speechwriter, and he’s angry about […]

Republicans Don’t Care About Policy

This isn’t my title, but it is abundantly clear to anybody who has been paying attention to Washington the last few months. There is simply no other explanation for their behavior. Voting against their own bills when the President decides to support them too, voting against stimulus and then bragging about how much it will […]

A Thoughtful MLK Day To You

Tulsa’s yearly MLK commermoration march and candlelight service were last night. The Tulsa World was kind enough to provide this picture and video (pretty darn well produced, if you ask me).

For those who have gone before, they have drastically cut the service down from […]

Jilted Husband: “Coburn is Still Lying”

Things just keep getting worse for Coburn.
ABC’s Nightline last night featured an interview with Doug Hampton. To jar your memory, Doug is the husband victimized by Senator Ensign’s sexual harassment of his wife.
Understandably, most of the interview deals with the behavior of Senator Ensign. However, it turns out that Coburn features quite prominently as […]

Veterans Endure

At the memorial service at Ft. Hood today. President Obama gave one of the best speeches he has ever given. Some say the best.
It is a sad irony that Veterans Day is tomorrow, as much of the speech centered on the meaning of their service. This part in particular I think could be said of […]

AARP Weighs in on Insurance Reform

Given that the Big Insurance/Pharma strategy for stopping reform legislation has been to scare the elderly with lies, a lot of folks have started to wonder when (and how) AARP would weigh in. Well here is your answer. If you don’t want to read all that, this video sums it up nicely. In fact, it […]

Rep “Brown Shirts” Breaking up Health Care Meetings

A lot of you know that now that Congress is in recess, many (if not most) congressmen are holding open meetings with their constituents to discuss healthcare.
Well, trying to. It turns out that there is campaign underway, organized by Republican party websites (official and unofficial) to prevent any rational discourse on the subject. They are […]

What “Independent” Means

I don’t think I’m going to shock anyone here, but just because a Republican says they got study numbers from an independent group, doesn’t actually mean they got their study numbers from an independent group.

I don’t know what they call that in Washington, but here in Oklahoma we call it a lie.
