The recent proposal for DUI checkpoints by Governor Chris Gregoire has raised some hackles around my neck of the sagebrush.  Nearly the hour after the news hit the local TV and Newspapers last week, I was getting her hate mail from my righty friends complaining about the invasiveness and the un-constitutionality of the whole thing… […]

In a remarkable bit of strategery, Rudy Giuliani is bowing out of the GOP Presidential race and although I agree with Goldy that his whole candidacy could very well have been just a ploy for sunny tee times and beach front margaritas for him and what little “paid” staff he had left, I’d take take it […]

2 years ago myself and Kendall Miller decided to start the Tri-Cities Chapter of Drinking Liberally.  I had never met Kendall in person but we set the location and just he, I and his daughter, showed up for the very first meeting.  In weeks that followed we saw a few more people show up.  In […]

If you’re over 35, you probably used to laugh at Saturday Night Live skits about a robotic Ronald Reagan.

 I know I’m not the only one watching this…  Do these clowns not understand just how bad this war is to the economy enough to say anything besides “I supported the president”, “it was the right thing to do”, “It was mis-managed by Rumsfeld”…. at least Ron Paul has the guts to stand up to […]

I am really conflicted about the nomination. Inside I feel the Clintons have the machinery, tenacity, and strategic political experience to win the general. But I also know that Obama would do wonders to heal this nation and move things forward. I am always deeply impressed when I hear him speak. And this you tube […]

This is post is in part a response a discussion to that brewed over in one my heated comments/reactions to Jimmy’s post about Obama and change. I have decided this presidential campaign cycle that I am a 100% pro Hillary. I would like to offer a thought through defense of Hillary and some of the […]

I got roasted in the comment thread about my last Hillary post (by my brother no less!).  First off, it isn’t about Hillary hating.  It’s about the real context of the MLK riff that the Traditional Media, as well as most of the public seems to be ignoring. Also how Clinton plays into that context.  But the […]

A few days ago, before the Jan. 15 debate in Las Vegas, I commented on the Clinton/MLK issue:
While all the whoopla over Clinton’s comments contrasting LBJ and MLK’s efforts in the civil rights movement something really troubling has been missed in the dialog.  It isn’t that the efforts of King were degraded, and neither were Johnson’s efforts in […]

Ah yes… if I could turn back time.  Rossi is thinking Flinstones right?
No thanks…
