Illegal to Protest in McCain’s World Too?

(Community Matters) This woman was cited for trespassing on public property at the request of the McCain campaign. She poses a really great question at the end.


The Secret Service today issued a press release that they had nothing to do with her eviction. Reports attribute this to the McCain staff.


Whoa, whoa, whoa, how could this happen to me?

(Community Matters) Shameful really. And, it’s looking like a melt down. here

I certainly wouldn’t mind the Ways & Means Committee gavel passing. Have feared his old ways and ethics would bite Ds in the butt as well as block Congressional innovation and reform.

his responses to neighbors’ questions are the height of arrogance and entitlement.

538 7/11/08

(Community Matters) Almost forgot to include this week. From 538:


Poblano discusses recent Washington polls and the inaugural Florida polls showing Obama with a slight lead, though his models suggest McCain +3. Earlier posts note Obama competitive in Montana and the Dakotas – for real. Heard the same from David Plouffe in a conference call yesterday. Finally, good reading on his designation of Tipping Points states – fodder for my PhD in Economics husband, but I prefer the conclusions in executive summary. here

Too Much Time

(Community Matters) Plumbers beware in Michigan

Deja vu Rick?

(Community Matters) Reports that Alabama Attorney General Troy King (R) was caught by his wife in bed with his male aide and will announce his retirement. Whether or not the former is true, we know the latter doesn’t always result.

Nevertheless, wouldn’t be a big surprise . . . ever since college Mr. King has been vocally anti-gay. here

I know, I know . . . not in all cases . . . but in more than not, the most vocal anti-gay men are closet cases. Add the other test – do they date mostly big breasted women and talk about their hetero sexual conquests? – then 99%!



Jesse Jackson’s comments

(Community Matters) Of course I’d heard the controversy, but nothing I had read quoted the comments. Rev. Jesse Jackson:

Senator Barack been talking down to black people on this faith based . . . . I wanna cut his nuts off.”


No one gives up power graciously, not Black men, White men, Yellow, Brown, Red or rainbow. Throughout history powerful men have lied, sabotaged, blackmailed and even killed – and certainly stuffed ballot boxes – to retain their power.

Vision for the Day

(Community Matters) Karl Rove in a tutu, pumps, lipstick and a big ol’ steak around his neck, in the big house for defying the Congressional subpoena.
