We have met the enemy and he is us. The sparks of our petty differences have been stoked by the fire masters until Rome with all it’s power and glory is aflame with descension and false truths.

We have the buckets and the water to extinguish the blaze, yet we… Read full post »

I'll be the first to say that I know little about Van Jones other than that he was appointed Special Advisor for Green Jobs by President Obama and he thinks Republicans are assholes.

From what I know, the event where this was taped was a lecture on energy at Cal Berkley back… Read full post »

                            Dear Penis: An Ode for Bobbot

Although I've never watched her show, Rachel Ray seems to be quite popular. Now I can see why!

What this girl can do with an ear of corn can conjure up all sorts of erotic fantasies in my perverted little melon. I had no idea her show was so sexually… Read full post »

 Alrighty then. Now that I have your attention I would like you to consider for a moment the unfair laws against same sex marriages in our country.

I'll bet Dick Armey is spitting mad right now. He was forced to resign from his association with the the global law firm of DLA Piper. Apparently DLA Piper didn't like being associated with Arme… Read full post »

David Axelrod and his buddies at the White House send me stuff all the time to read and think about (notice how they call me Dear Friend?). Below is a recent letter that is part of a viral campaign to help disspell some of the myths surrounding the healthcare reform debate.… Read full post »

 Well, here we go again. I think we may have a new Joe the Plumber on our hands. William Kostric brought a loaded handgun strapped on his hip to an Obama Town Hall meeting in Portsmouth New Hampshire today. He also carried a sign with a quote from Thomas Jefferson that… Read full post »

Ugh. Health care reform debates are taking a toll on me. All the hubbub makes me want to go hang around with David Carradine. 

So, I thought I'd throw out a quick post with a lighter tone to it just to help improve my current mood. Naturally I stole this,… Read full post »

So who is really behind the so called grassroots movement designed to disrupt the town hall meetings being staged across the country during August's annual Congressional recess so that nothing constructive can be discussed? Is it the Teabaggers? That would be a good guess, but the fact is, the T… Read full post »

I've been a bit busy lately and haven't had time to post anything of any substance. (Like I ever post anything of substance.) I haven't posted anything for that matter.

What I do have is time to post this old video of why everyone should own a dog. Hang on tight… Read full post »

One of the things I love about Open Salon is the giving nature of our little community. I’m sure most of you feel the same. If one of our own is in need of advice or information, our brothers and sisters here will bend over backwards to… Read full post »

I don't have time right now to give this post the proper attention it deserves, but I wanted to get it out anyway. I couple days ago Rachel Maddow had a heated debate with Pat Buchanan about race and Sepreme Court Nominee S… Read full post »

You thought I was going to get all political, didn't you. Well not very much this time, but maybe a little. Right now, health care reform is the biggest thing on the agenda in DC… Read full post »

 I know a lot of the people here on OS are too sophisticated to listen to Country music and I'm just fine with that. Me? I'm a big fan of the genre and I don't apologies for it. It's not that I'm a redneck, at least I don't think of myself… Read full post »
