‘Hillary Unity’ My P****

Bernie Sanders Is Already Making It More Likely Republicans Win The White House In 2016 (forwardprogressives.org) I’ve never had a harder time dealing with the run-up to a presidential election than in 2004. Not only was I completely disgusted with how the Bush Administration had lied the country into war, to say nothing about the PATRIOT Act and socially conservative legislation that made my skin crawl, but I was also having a hard time dealing with my Democratic friends who constantly exerted pressure on me…

Screwing Up the Ninth

Given all the press that Congress gets, it’s easy to overlook the impact that state legislatures have on our everyday lives; I’ll cop to being guilty of this.

Olbermann’s backbone still MIA

Judge grants Kucinich entry to NV debate (AP via Yahoo! News) If you were watching Countdown tonight, then Keith Olbermann did, in fact, inform you of this decision, as well as the fact that NBC was going to appeal it. However, in the resulting discussion Olbermann had with Chuck Todd, Kucinich’s presence at the debate was never mentioned again. Todd even went so far as to ludicrously claim that tomorrow’s MSNBC debate would be the first debate where the "Big Three" of Hillary Clinton, John…
