Hey, remember back in February, when Serr8d used disingenuous graphs to try to argue that melting polar ice wasn’t a problem? And remember how I subsequently pointed out the flaws in his arguments, and noted that the late summer ice levels are what’s important? Well, lookie here: The National Snow and Ice Data Center in [...]

You decide. More on the Clinton supporter in the McCain ad. As far as I can tell, this is sour grapes, and she’s doing it out of pure spite. If she could name just two substantive issues where McCain’s position is closer to Clinton’s than Obama’s is, I might understand. Of course, it would be [...]

Michelle Obama's Speech
Posted in General, Politics on August 26, 2008 | 1 Comment »
That was a very, very good speech. Despite the campaign ads and the talking heads nonsense, the Obama’s are an incredible, uniquely American story. They came form less than privileged backgrounds — no Admiral in the family to smooth the way for Barack, no rich daddy to make things easier for Michelle — and they [...]
Earth to PGP: It's a Comedy Show!

Sebastian of Pro-Gun Progressive gets his panties all in a twist because Lewis Black — a vocal critic of gun rights — had some fun at the expense of gun rights on a comedy show. (Sample line: “I don’t have the energy to google up the location of a gym, let alone come to your [...]

So its Biden. better pick than most. He is wrong about a lot of stuff, staring with the bankruptcy bill, but he is correct about a lot too, starting with things like FISA. I think I like this pick. Biden is too old to run for the office himself, so he doesn’t prevent a progressive [...]

George Will Makes Brief Foray Into Reality-Based Community, Gets Stopped at the Border

Nothing is lamer than when one of the “reasonable” conservatives tries to make a fact-based argument about politics. George Will tried it today and is now still wandering around the Science and Nature section of Barnes & Noble, gibbering like a loon. Obama recently said that he would “require that 10 percent of our energy [...]

So it’s Biden. Interesting. Not surprising, not a bad choice, not a homerun smash either. Probably the best possible choice but not the best choice; the best impossible choice is Hillary – that would have been a homerun smash, but, as I say, impossible. The AP is being asinine about it, running an “analysis” claiming [...]
