How to Shut Down the Idiotic, Lunatic, Right Wing Fringe
Last week, I sent a link to a Salon.com article about Rep. Alan Grayson (D, Fla) and his "rock-em, sock'em" speech on the House Floor that characterized the GOP "Plan" as "don't get sick and if you do, die quickly." (See

The tragedy of the Right Wing for America's future

McCain once pledged to conduct an honorable campaign
McCain once pledged to conduct an honorable campaign as widely noted and evidenced in Gary Kamiya’s piece on Salon.com.
The man who incessantly talks about "honor" has checked his own at the door. Back in April, McCain -- himself the victim of a vicious, race-baiting smear campaign orchestrated/… Read full post »Would you buy a used presidency from this man?
