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".

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 [...]
Food Replicators. Awesome.
My biggest fear in life is that a lot of the cool inventions and advancements in technology prevalent in science fiction won’t happen in my life time. But it seems like and early version of food replicators may be in the works: Cornucopia is a concept design for a personal food factory that brings the [...]
Acting Tough
In high school (and all of this is still the case), I never put on a tough guy facade (although I was, and still am, a metalhead), I never talked shit to anyone, and I never threatened anyone. I was always nice to people, I was easy to get along with, and in general, I [...]
Politifact Weighs In on the INTERPOL Nontroversy
Politifact gives Gingrich's statement that Executive Order 12425 could, "lead to a number of investigations by Interpol in the United States, potentially aimed at American officials" a rating of "Pants on Fire"
