Ah For the Good Old Days of Julia Sugarbaker

January 5, 2012January 18, 2012 B. John 171 Views 1 Comment Designing Women, Julia Sugarbaker, Michele Bachman

I know some of you will remember the show “Designing Women,” and especially the rants of one of the lead characters, Julia Sugarbaker. Someone has taken the time to hitch together a segment of Michele Bachman and one of Julia’s rants, and the results are pretty good. Boy how would love for someone like Julia Sugarbaker to actually call out some of these Republican candidates, especially Bachman. So, it’s as true today as it was back when the program was new, so enjoy this clip….

Remember This When you Head Out to Vote

November 1, 2010 B. John 188 Views 0 Comments Bailout, Bullshit, Deficit, republicans, Social Security, States Rights

As you head out to vote tomorrow (if you haven’t already, I’d suggest watching this. It’s about remembering which party took a record surplus and turned it into a record deficit, which party thinks the rich need tax cuts, and that big corporations don’t have enough freedom to pollute and send us contaminated food. Remembering which party wants to end Social Security, and which party started a needless war in Iraq, and which party was in power when Wall Street was given a no-strings-attached bailout.

Who are you voting for in 2010

October 31, 2010August 10, 2015 230 Views 0 Comments Democrat, Independent, republican, Tea Bag Party, voting

We’ve got a new poll up at Deep Something asking who you are planning to vote for (or who you voted for) by party. We just want to know if you are voting mostly for one party or the other, going independent, or sitting this one out. The President and Democrats are working hard to motivate the base, but frankly they are scrambling because they clearly blew off the progressive wing of the party for the past two years, in some cases being verbally dismissive, and the “chickens have come home to roost.”

New Tea Party Poll at Deep Sand

October 29, 2010 B. John 252 Views 0 Comments Astroturn, David Koch, republican, Tea Bag Party, Tea Party

We’ve added a poll today asking what you think about the Tea Party. Some people involved claim it’s non-partisan, and is a purely grass-roots organization of disaffected voters. There is some evidence that it is an astroturf group sponsored by big business to help them advance their aims (I’m looking at you David Koch), and some folks believe it is definitely a part of the Republican Party. Let us know what you think.

Christine O'Donnell Wants a Seat in the Senate And To Stop Everyone From Having Sex

September 28, 2010September 29, 2018 B. John 247 Views 1 Comment Booze, chaste, Christine O'Donnell, republicans, Sara Palin, Sarah Palin, sex, Tea Bagger, Tea Party, Witchcraft

It appears that little Ms. “I dabbled in witchcraft” says she wants to stop everyone from having sex. This from the lady who’s claimed publicly to have had sex on a satanic altar. Personally, she would just be a side-show idiot, were people not willing to vote for her to sit in a seat in the Senate of the United States of America. She’s a Palin favorite, but that comes as no surprise, since, like Sara, she just makes up the truth as she goes along.

Alan Grayson’s New Congressional Ad

September 27, 2010August 10, 2015 192 Views 0 Comments Alan Grayson, american taliban, Democrats, Kathy Castor, Orlando, republicans, talibangelist, Tea Baggers

Unfortunately Alan Grayson is not my representative in Congress, but I sure wish he was. I don’t have anything against Cathy Kastor, my current representative, except that she’s the typical milquetoast Democrat. Alan Grayson doesn’t mind speaking truth to power, and he calls out the talibangelist views of his tea bagger opponent in this ad. And this guy has tried to pass some of his extreme religious views into law in Tallahassee. Democrats should take note, this is how the game has to be played for now.

Jan Brewer-Governor of Arizona-Just Wow

September 4, 2010August 10, 2015 198 Views 1 Comment Arizona, Debate, Governor, Jan Brewer

OK, so things are a little crazy in Arizona lately. I know they’re so concerned about the hordes of illegal aliens running over the boarder and destroying our economy (which the good bankers on Wall Street spent so much time creating for us), that they have to a pass a law that flies in the face of the Constitution. But I think opening statement in a recent gubanatorial debate for Arizona Governor explains a lot. It doesn’t get much freakier than this. I thought it might be a Saturday Night Live skit at first. As the title says, “Just Wow!”

Tim Curtis Gets My Vote for U.S. House

August 4, 2010 B. John 234 Views 1 Comment 11th congressional district, Cathy Castor, Tim Curtis

OK, I admit I’d not given much thought to the Democratic Primary for 11th Congressional District. I’m not overly impressed with Cathy Castor, but she’s generally socially progressive, so I expected to vote for her. I frankly didn’t even know she had an opponent. That changed tonight, and Tim Curtis has earned my vote.

Wired.com has a story out of Kansas about a copier salesman who is Suing his former employer for wrongful termination. His claim is that his boss sent out e-mail telling employees they would be fired for voting for Obama. I’m not convinced on this one. What do you think about bringing electoral politics into the workplace?

It Would Be Funny If It Weren’t So Scary

These are interviews with the 60,00 to 70,000 people who turned out for the big Tea Bagger March in Washington. Apparently, you don’t have to really know anything about what you’re protesting. It’s all just bad because it is Obama, and some industry or media flak like Glenn Beck told you to be mad and scared.
