Goldy at Horsesass posted something today that hits home to me based on a recent e-mail conversation I had with a local active democrat here on the east side. And it is particularly because I sense that the Democratic Party does not understand the power blogs have over public opinion. From Goldy’s post:
Last […]

That pretty much sums it up. Trying to get a controversial drilling measure into a defense budget bill is dirty politics. The vote: 56-44
Merry Christmas Ted.

Well the really good news is in as Darryl points out, the French have once again conspired to cheat Patriotboy out of the Best Humor/Comics blog in a shamless attempt to padd the numbers through some sort of IP spoof. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the dark subversive forces […]

As reported by the Herald’s Chris Mullick, and as expected, Richard Wright has filed the paperwork establishing his candidacy against Doc Hastings.
His web site should be up in a week or so. Look for the address http://www.wright06.com. Some quick cursory bio information on Richard.

Richard Wright was born in Pasco and […]

I love The General… in a many heterosexual way of course. But his being beaten by Dilbert is completely unacceptable. While I occasionally like Dilbert, specifically the “motivation fairy” of days gone past, social relevance pales in comparison to the “Official Online Organ of the Glorious Conservative Christian Revolution” and the causes he […]

So does the West Side need the East? As I wrote earlier, I think so. I-912 could have been much worse. On the Eastern front, or what some call the Alabama sagebrush, I-912 didn’t get near the numbers as it’s proponents expected. Instead, as we saw, it suffered under the scrutiny […]

I might seem like a tired old slog continually ranting about Doc Hastings’ Ineffectual, blatent misuse and ass dragging chairmanship of the House Ethics Committee, but I am not alone. I lost count of the blog entries and newspaper editorials about Hastings corrupt approach to the corrupt members of congress. Frankly, I cannot […]

Richard Pryor was once responsible for my losing cable television. It was the late 70’s and cable television had just become available to our town as well as subscriptions to premium services. I believe it was HBO that we subscribed to. My Grandfather and I would stay up and watch comedians like […]

Update: I have to emphisize, for Sandy’s sake, that she is NOT running for chair and we do not want her to lose her constitution over laughter. So all you folks just leave her alone … my guess is she would do a fine job regardless.

I have heard it said it takes 21 days to kick a habit. I wonder if smoking takes longer than that. So far, I haven’t pissed any other drivers off or caused any accidents… but it is only day two.
Gotta hand it to (and thanks to Goldy since I didn’t record it) Brad […]

Awhile back I was honored to guest blog for Jesus’ General (it was truly an honor to serve the General - in a manly hetrosexual way of course). Once again the East Side Covert Operations have been called to duty.
The Weblog Awards competition is heating up in the “Best Humor Comics” […]

Smoking that is…
With the smoking ban in place, I decided that now is as good as time as any. I have heard so many stories from friends about their friends or family dying of lung cancer it scares the daylights out of me. It was Chris Whitley’s recent death from lung […]

Sorry to see him go. Didn’t get much of a chance to know him. Hope all goes well. With that said, we have a good legacy…

We reformed the state primary election system. For the first time in my lifetime, Democrats can choose the candidates who will fight for and address their issues […]
