It is disturbing that the Republicans have defaulted back to 1990's style hyper partisanship rather than voters' desire for action and change in Washington. They are calling a four alarm fire on a 'scandal' that has zero to do with President Elect Obama, and are more interested in union busting than they are in responding to an economic emergency. The GOP is fiddling as Rome burns.

Slate has written an expose that calls to mind the adage about how people that live in glass houses (or igloos) should not cast stones. Sarah Palin cheered on the activities of the Alaska Independence Party, a party founded by a man who denounced that United States in front of the United Nations with Iran as his sponsor.

re-posted from Daily Kos We all know 'that guy'; the one that has Rush Limbaugh playing 24/7 at his desk at work and swears that Bush never lied - not even once. On a recent trip back to my office, I overheard him explaining why the financial crisis happened: Carter, Clinton, Janet Reno (for real), and above all else: MINORITIES.

My father forwarded this to me (along with about 20 other people). It jokes about the Obama family dying in a plane crash, and uses a child to deliver the punchline. The right wing's hatred never ceases to amaze me.

While I am not a big fan of Senator Obama and have serious reservations about him, he is by far the lesser of two evils. He will be getting my vote come November, and I encourage other Clinton supporters that are dragging their feet to reexamine their thinking.

Today Drudge Report ran the headline "'Black national anthem' stirs controversy in Denver..." Drudge linked to a video hosted a Breitbart.tv, that has received intensely racist feedback. Companies, including Microsoft advertise on that site and should be made aware.

Over 2000 people showed up to celebrate Mother's Day with Hillary Clinton in New York on Saturday in a crowded ballroom. It was my honor to spend my day with the best candidate for the Presidency, and I was overwhelmed by the strong support she is receiving on her path to winning the popular vote and the democratic nomination.

Someone needs to tell Senator Barack Obama that the Constitution only provides for one Vice President. Obama has dangled the Vice Presidency in front of three prominent female politicians in a Janus-faced strategy to gain their support.
