are you ready for a zombie attack uncle sam (Medium)

Whoever did audio on this video announcing a conservative youth conference in Milwaukee and North Carolina is GOOD. I felt like an ax murderer was going to jump out at me any second. Even the information slide at the end dangles a bit like a thing hanging from a rope. I need to hold somebody’s hand now....

pistols at dawn

I wouldn’t feel obligated to include news about an  altercation between the Obama administration and Koch Inc. if it weren’t for the fact that Koch money  flows into the pockets of so many Wisconsin politicians.   There’s also the matter of that episode when 20 minutes of “David Koch” flowed through the ears of Scott...

Amy Goodman is one of my favorite wear-no-make-up, throw-no-softball-question journalists. Russ Feingold is the only politician I have literally stopped in the street so that I could beg him to run for office.

Russ Feingold says President Obama’s making the wrong decision. That is actually sort of a big deal. Wisconsin progressives, independents, and Dems have been stoking an unrequited...

President Obama told a group of Hispanic journalists Wednesday that his re-election campaign could win over Latino voters just by showing them clips from Republican debates. Or in other words: “Never mind what I am really doing to Latino immigrants. Look at the scary GOP clowns.” “We may just run clips of the Republican...

Obama makes moves suggesting Presidential role has relevance, possibly power

I saw two things about President Obama I found intriguing today and I practically thought, “Oh! That’s right. He’s the President!” The chip on my shoulder is showing. I did think that 180,000 people marching in the streets would’ve caught more than a passing glance from our President. Even with my deflated cheesy heart,...

Proposed Super Congress is for real.  White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley described the unconstitutional body on Meet the Press

Our leaders in D.C. found an emergency portal to walk into. In this authoritarian place, democracy and the constitution are discarded to keep the global financial markets afloat. It’s called a “Super Congress” or “Super Committee”. A “Super Congress” was floated by Mitch McConnell maybe 10 days ago. I read about it on NewsMax...
