When I was a kid in the 70’s, everybody listened to KGON, the local FM rock station, and it was avowedly liberal: pro-pot, anti-Nixon, anti-war, with a great cast of hippie-ish DJ’s that became like family. As Archie and Edith wistfully sang, “Those Were the Days.” They had a feature in the morning, “Nukes [...]
I have a strong feeling that our Media Stars are going to be left with even more egg on their faces than usual as the next elections roll around, so convinced they are that, somehow, the Republicans have recaptured the hearts of that imaginary “middle America” that none of them have evidently ever seen. Of [...]
Jack Murtha, the longtime Democratic representative from Pennsylvania, died today, after having lived long enough to see the wars he wanted to end continued indefinitely, but satisfied in knowing history would prove him right. I guess these days if you want to try to stop a war in this country, you should get started when [...]
The Village that is Washington does, albeit reluctantly, allow Democrats to be elected once in a while, usually due to the inevitable disasters and scandals created by their Republican predecessors, but once in office, they expect them to become Republicans as quickly as possible, lest they soil the carpets with their shabby followers. Who can [...]

One of the funniest things about the right is that they never lose, even when they do, and they even have rather disturbing success convincing others, or at least the media, that this is so. A lot of us, and certainly any trained psychiatrist, would look at their behavior each day, and [...]
Already the teabaggers (and the media who worship them) are declaring tomorrow’s elections to be a stinging defeat for Democrats, all but certain to hobble Obama’s nine-month (or, according to the strange calendar of the media, who can’t wait that long, one year…) presidency. How many facts must one ignore, and how much Fox must [...]
I have no idea who Charlotte Allen is, other than a just another mentally challenged wingnut broad who is attempting to drink from Peggy Noonan’s cup before she spills it again, or perhaps fill Maggie Gallagher’s ample stretch pants, and as such is naturally awarded acres of space in formerly reputable newspapers like the LA [...]
On the last thread, Mikeinportc alerted me to the fact that the Wapoo is eagerly looking for a Froomkin replacement, only cheaper, and flattered me by saying I ought to apply. Now that the WaPoo is so cheap and debased that it’s resorting to “American Idol”-like contests to fill its laughable mockery of an op/ed [...]
Just when most Amercans were beginning to think that part of our problem might be that we’re in too many wars, the Washington Ignoratti declare, with the characteristic oracular certainty that is their unfortunate hallmark, that the real problem is too few. After all, where’s our 9/12 spirit, now that all those hypothetically glorious wars [...]
Is there any such thing anymore as a Republican deemed unworthy of opining on the news of the day? Is there any conduct so aberrant, lie so flagrant, hypocrisy so astounding, nor unbroken record of utter failure enough to get these blowhards off the TV and Op/Ed pages once and for all?
No, Virginia, there isn’t. [...]
