What Needs To Happen In The SOTU
So, tonight, Obama doesn't need to hit a homerun. Well, he can, but he doesn't have to, at least not a walk-off homerun. A walk-off homerun isn't even possible, since he can't win the game all in one night. What he needs to do is get on base. He's got to get a rally going and get everyone else in dugout on their feet feeling some "hope", as cheesy as that sounds.
Filmaker Behind ACORN Sting Arrested. Does It Really Matter At This Point?
So, even though they were exonerated by a Congressional Research Service report, and even though portions of O'Keefe's film were substantially edited, and even though O'Keefe has now shown a pattern of unlawful tactics,ACORN was, is, and will remain a boogeyman.
Communist, Liberal, Muslim, Nazi Astronauts
Man. Looks like NASA’s in on that communist, liberal, Hollywood conspiracy known as “global warming”. Well, now that I think about, NASA also staged that fake moon landing back in the 60′s. So maybe they’ve been a part of communist conspiracies this whole time. But then again, the moon landing was part of the Space [...]
HOUSE – Pass The Senate Bill
Alright, so the title is actually a play on an inside joke I have about a former employer (quite a quirky guy) showing off his home in a local news segment. Particularly when he says “HOUSE – lower the attic stairs” at around the 1:45 mark: Guess you had to be there. But seriously. It’ll [...]
Plouffe To Return To White House
Awesome. I wish he had never left. This shouldn’t just be about campaigning for 2010 midterms. It should be an ongoing campaign of policies so we can drown out the noise coming from the teabaggers.
The New Campaign
Without a doubt, the Massachusetts Special Election was a setback. But as big of a blow as losing a 60 vote super-majority may have been, there's something much bigger at stake. Unless the president does something to rekindle the enthusiasm of 2008, the Democratic party is in danger of having a generation of young voters simply saying, "fuck it".

The Strategy For 2010
Despite what anyone says, the result from the Massachusetts special election is not a repudiation on health care reform, President Obama, or Liberalism. Instead this was a perfect storm of 10% unemployment, opposition enthusiasm that always occurs in off-year elections, and a really shitty candidate in Martha Coakley. Regardless, the Democratic Party got caught napping, [...]

Compromise
Alright, teabaggers. I’ll meet you half way. Let’s agree that he’s not a Nazi, but he is a socialist.
America, Fuck Yeah!
A depressing day: I can tell you when this country will get real health care reform. It will come when insurance premiums are so high, and when so many people die from lack of health care, and when so many people go bankrupt from paying medical bills, and when the rest of the system is [...]
