John McCain = Matthew Lesko

Every time I hear McCain talk about how he wants to cut “everyone’s” taxes (although, like a good Republican, a big majority of his cuts go to the very wealthy), I keep imagining him as Matthew Lesko, running a cheesy informercial about “Free Money!!!!!!” and how if you vote for him you can “get money [...]

My Run-in With A Wingnut

So on my way to work yesterday, I’m at a stoplight and there’s some jackass in a beat up red pickup who has been swerving and tailgating me for a good chunk of Emerson Ave. My windows are down as it was a nice morning and I hear the guy driving the truck yell something [...]

Jill Long Thompson Is RUnning A Shitty Campaign

I’m a Democrat. (Duh!) I want to get Mitch Daniels out of the Governor’s Mansion very badly (privatizing everything left and right, killing local government budgets for the sake of state budgets are the big reasons). But how the FUCK am I supposed to vote for a Democrat when all that Dem does is pander [...]

Deconstructing Newt

Okay, so Newt Gingrich is right on one count, his party is fucking doomed right now. But then he tries to come up with another magic plan for change. Because his “Contract With America” was implemented so well.
1. Repeal the gas tax for the summer, and pay for the repeal by cutting domestic discretionary spending
Stupid [...]

Indiana Primary Thoughts [Updated]

Alright so I should be sleeping but i want to get these thoughts out before sleep chases them off into crazy Jason dream land.

Lake county still has more to report, there are a couple precincts left in Marion and Monroe counties as well. FiveThirtyEight is projecting a Hillary win by 0.9% as of the [...]

Building the (Light-)Railroads

Well when I first read this link courtesy of CJ, I was thrown for a loop. Mayor “Chinatowns” Ballard supporting mass transit and potential taxes to make it happen? It was as if my world had been turned upside down. Bit then it all became clear at Drinking Liberally: Indianapolis last night…
Mayor Chinatowns is going [...]

American Flag Lapel Pin is patriotism you can count on!!!
LapelPin08.com is the home of the most patriotic candidate in the race for the White House.

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue

I can’t even begin to write coherently about the Democratic debate last night. I didn’t watch it because I’d figure it was going to be more of the same blandness: semi-important policy questions and a whole lot of nothing said. Instead it was apparently an before any actual policy question was asked. The rest was [...]
