Such A Parcel Of Rogues In A Nation....

My twitter friend, Mike Galvin, wrote this excellent article titled "Grand Old Pilfering - Stealing America's Future".  I thought it needed to be spread around a bit more broadly, so I'm posting a link to it for you all.    I hope you like it enough to pass it on, and please give him the proper credit by citing him as the author.

Thrilled For New York's Gays Achieving Marriage Equality

The Marriage Equality Act passed earlier tonight in New York State.  Progress is being made and I'm grateful.  I am also sad because I never got to see my kid brother marry the man he loved before he died.  He lived in California and he died in 2006.   It's stupid he couldn't marry a man he loved and spent nearly 15 years with.  So I'm glad.  I hope to see  Marriage Equality across the country before I die.  It'd be good and I do what I can to help make it happen... even if it's just talking about the personal side of it.  My brother was a good man.  A jerk at times, but a good man.  His partner was a decent guy and I'd have been happy to have him as a brother in law.   The progress is good.  It can stand to get better.

Rob Woodall Won't Give Up Government Health Care 'Because It's Free' (VIDEO)

Rob Woodall Won't Give Up Government Health Care 'Because It's Free' (VIDEO)

Y'all just gotta read this! Woodall, just a few days ago told a woman to take care of her health needs without any assistance from the government, but refuses to put aside his government healthcare - which he does get for free and which he will get for the rest of his life, even if he loses his seat in a later election, just because he served in the Congress. His retort to his constituent: "Because it's free. Folks, if you give people things for free, don't blame them for taking them."

But we citizens -- we can do with out even affordable healthcare!

Jeremy Giefer could be Tim Pawlenty's Willie Horton - Minneapolis / St. Paul News - The Blotter

Jeremy Giefer could be Tim Pawlenty's Willie Horton - Minneapolis / St. Paul News - The Blotter

How Tim Pawlenty spins this into Presidential gold is gonna be a feat in and of itself. More misogyny from our putative leaders. Pheh! This pardon of Giefer is simply unforgivable.
