This is great!  You all are in for a real treat.   OK, I’ll wait while you grab your Jiffy-Pop. (time passes, we pop corn, and settle in) This is the funniest thing to happen since the “fugus” comment. Only this time, it’s an actual 5-minute YouTube video!  The first time I saw it,  I [...]

You just gotta love Michael Steele. He’s kind of like the head clown, leading all the other clowns in their herd of little red clown cars right over the edge of the cliff. What lies at the bottom? Complete political irrelevance. There was a recent Gallup poll that said only 21% percent of Americans self-identify [...]

The First Dude’s East Coast Tour continues.  Tonight, he was the guest of Fox News at the White House Correspondents Dinner.  Wanda Sykes was the roaster du soir. The cameras missed the money shot.

There’s two bills here.  One in the finance committee and in the appropriations committee.  Everybody makes it sound like no [...]

You will recall — how could you not? — [...]

Sweet! If all goes well, and I have negotiated embedding this fabulous live streaming video into the tubes, this is what will happen. Today, Friday, February 13, from 10am-2pm Alaska time (11am-3pm Pacific, 2pm-6pm Eastern) in celebration of the 200th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s birth, and President Barack Obama’s inauguration, artist and baker Zilly [...]

Welcome to a new day, a new president, and a new era.  Today feels like a long cool drink after eight years wandering in the desert. As many of you will be watching this historic event, whether on your TV, or online, or with a group, or in person, here is an open thread so we can [...]
