White People: You Need to Speak to Your Petulant Peers

Are you familiar with the amusement park ride that spins you around while pinned to a wall where the floor drops out? That’s kinda how systematic racism works. Ok so imagine how we’re stuck in this ride and dizzy from the after effects. Well somebody also owns the ride and someone else pulls the lever. [...]

Where Would We Be Without GrandMa & GrandPa?

A grandparent’s love and support should never be underestimated. Senator Obama will drop everything to be by the side of his ailing maternal grandmother. As he should because though he’s in the political fight of his career he still has his priorities intact. Which is family first. I have lost all of my grandparents and [...]

My Favorite Teenage Crush Musician Supports Obama

Once a Duranie always a Duranie:

The original and best JT offers his endorsement. I just love that he’s playing the bass line from Girls On Film!!!!

What If Powell Had Run – And Won- In 1996?

Colin Powell officially endorsed Barack Obama for President today after much speculation that he might….eventually. Should it matter that a former Secretary of the State endorses the candidate for the opposing political party? Does the fact that Colin has some African heritage like Barack give more weight to it? Does the timing help being that [...]

Can Somebody Explain This Photo?

About that Joe the Plumber Guy and the Real Tax Increase Planned for All of Us

We know the Republican party will stop at nothing to use psychological warfare in pushing voters to work against their best interests. This man Joe Wurzelbacher was used as a prop by John McCain during last night’s debate. I thought Obama was caught of guard for a moment in fact, though he was able to recover. [...]

Geez Is This Debate Over Yet?

It’s not even half-way through and I am ready to turn it off! I am hearing the SAME talking points I’ve been hearing for the past few weeks now. McCain is slowly but surely losing it though. He’s getting testier by the minute. The CNN peter meter is dropping like a lead stone at everything [...]

Blog Action Day 2008: Focus on Poverty

Well things are winding down and headed to the wire for the Presidential election in the US. I wrote a post a few days ago where I mentioned the lack of discussion about poor people by the major party candidates lately. Of course the corporate media in conjunction with the Republican party are trying to [...]

People Get Ready

Beware the Ides of March and Republican voter theft. Don’t wait until November 4th to vote people. Let’s look back at 2000 and 2004 shall we. 1. The lines may be long and you might be cut off. 2. Some voting places may suddenly not be available. 3. The police may block the roads leading [...]

Idiot Rethug Wind-Up Doll Gets the Smack-Down

I was watching this week’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher and had the opportunity to get my biggest laugh of the week. Watch and decide for yourself.

I’d like to be impartial and journalistic but Stephen Moore is a first-class tool. He’s on the Editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. He’s [...]
