Wednesday, January 27, 2010State of the Hussein Union Liveblogging VIIDrill, baby, drill!Rahm Emanuel doesn't look happy. Open markets. More conservative stuff. OK -- the only anti-poverty solution is world-class education. Liberal rhetoric. Where are we going? Going to revitalize the community colleges? Tell us how! OK. Increased Pell Grants. That's good. Whoa! Debt forgiveness! REEEED meat. He's talking health care. But I'm a little lost. Didn't get anything out of it. Here's the government spending freeze. Not OK.

State of the Hussein Union Live Blogging VWHAAAA!!! Jobs bill??? Let's hear it. But if it's tax cutting, I'm gonna be seriously pissed off...I'm on the edge of my seat. Allentown... HOLLA! OK... tax cuts tax cuts tax cuts. Crap. How about some actual investment? Looks like that's next... High speed railroad from Tampa to Orlando. Not good enough. But it looks like that's the best he's got. He's issuing liberal talking points with conservative solutions... that's not good. Labels: Barack Obama, Politics, State of the Hussein Union

State of the Hussein Union Live Blogging IVBiden mistimed his clap... pretty funny.Still no meat. But Obama mentioned the word "union." Wow. He "hated" the bank bailout. That sounds historic, actually. (Pan to Timmeh Geithner) Oops. I just yelled at the TV. OK, I like the fee on the biggest banks. And I'm enjoying Biden where Cheney used to be. Sorry, I'm not applauding cutting taxes when we need the money. Let's see him add 1.5 million jobs in 2010 (still nothing).... Labels: Barack Obama, Politics, State of the Hussein Union

State of the Hussein Union Live Blogging IIIIt begins...It took nine minutes from him to enter to the room until he actually started speaking. Not much of a pace, Mr. President! He's appealing to history... Bull Run, Bloody Sunday... big talk. I'm hoping he gets away from the milquetoast. (mmm... milk and toast) Yes, we know he inherited a bad situtation. But we're still in two wars and the economy ain't great. Callin' out the Heartland... can you hear me, Elkhart? OK. Why did you reward Wall Street? Hope. (drinks) Waits for meat...

Yup, This is My Shul...Not exactly news, but...The rabbi of Temple Israel, one of the largest Conservative Jewish congregations in the Capital Region, is resigning after 18 months on the job. Rabbi Daniel Wolpe was hired in September 2008... Wolpe and his wife, Susan, filed for bankruptcy in Albany in September, five months after a Michigan court ordered the Wolpes to pay a $164,585 judgment to another couple . . . In 2006, Temple Israel fired its longtime cantor, Philip Friedman, who pleaded guilty to molesting an 11-year-old girl. He was supposed to be helping his victim prepare for her bat mitzvah.

Sunday, January 24, 2010From the Mouths of Conservatives -- Don't Feed the Humans?Andre Bauer, Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina:"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed," Bauer said, according to the Greenville News. "You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better." Despicable... Labels: Mouths of Conservatives, Politics, Republican Party

Wednesday, December 02, 2009Afghanistan! Gah!I haven't had a lot of time for blogging lately, but Richard reminded me yesterday that I really need to say something about how disappointed I am with Obama's approach to Afghanistan and Iraq. I fully agree with what Tristero says here:If the Democratic party today doesn't have viable candidates who are prepared to oppose this crazy policy, it sure as hell will have them two elections hence. I realize that opposing the election of Democrats at a time when the opposition party has literally gone off the deep end puts this country at serious risk of another extreme rightwing takeover. But I don't think liberals have much choice but to take that risk. We are talking about potentially thousands upon thousands of human deaths for an utterly pointless war. This liberal - and I'm hardly the only one - can neither support nor excuse what is now officially the Obama/Afghan War. Labels: Barack Obama, Politics
