Squeaky Wheel
I was emailing and calling Senator Bob Casey’s office all last week about the problems with the TSA, and on Thursday I got an unexpected call from his Harrisburg office. For the next twenty minutes or so, I spoke at length with Sarah Newman, a constituent advocate, about my concerns and suggestions for TSA.
I pointed [...]
Sestak Ad: Toomey is a Piece of Shit
in the post below, I describe Republican senate candidate Pat Toomey as “a piece of shit”.
It’s an accurate label, and one that more Pennsylvanians are learning is true. Jo Sestak understands this, and features Pat in his recent ad:
Joe Sestak Is On Our Side
Great ad: Pat Toomey is NOT on our side. Pat Toomey wants to put doctors who perform abortions in jail for murder: his office never got back to me when i asked if they would pursue charges against women who got abortions, or against those who help them, so you can take that as [...]

The price of health care has been women’s reproductive rights:
Stupak wants to outlaw abortion coverage in the new health insurance Exchange, where individuals and small businesses will purchase their coverage. Instead, women would only be able to purchase abortion coverage in a “abortion rider” plan – a single-service plan that covers abortion only. Such an [...]
Grayson Reads the Obituary List
Booman Tribune:
It’s Grayson’s willingness to gut his opponents like a fish that endears him to many progressives who are sick of watching Democrats back down from a fight…
If I have any advice for Grayson, it is this. Put the people of your district first, and your desire to influence the national debate second. If you [...]
Alan Grayson is Funny
Honestly, I don’t know which line is best. Transcript:
I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes, because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking. But my response is this: He’s just angry because the president doesn’t shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done [...]
John Boehner’s Hysteria Leads Inevitably to Comedy
I wasn’t been following the ACORN non-story, a fake scandal peddled by Glenn “I May Have Raped and Murdered a Young Girl” Beck, until Congress decided to weigh in on the matter. And you know it wasn’t gonna be good: both the House and the Senate, including large numbers of Democrats including Joe Sestak and [...]
Read More..>>Raul Grijalva, health Care hero
This is leadership.
this is not:
the actions of the White House betray quite a different intent. The deals they have negotiated with health care industry stakeholders do not include a public plan, they don’t believe they can back out of them without triggering a rush of lobbyist money to GOP coffers. At some point [...]
Arlen Specter Knows How to Throw a Punch
Maybe it’s a sign of the apocalypse, but I believe in credit where credit is due: Arlen Specter knows how to throw a punch:
The fifth-term senator tweeted Thursday:
Rep. Wilson apologized immediately afterward but I don’t think that’s adequate.
There ought to be a reprimand or censure of Rep. Joe Wilson to discourage that kind of conduct [...]
Sad Today
Press play:
12-wont-you-come-and-sing-for-me
Not to get all emotional over a politician, but Ted Kennedy was one of the good ones. I am nervous about what his gutless spineless corporate-fellating colleagues in the Senate will do to his health care reform bill now that he is gone.
