Healthcare Reform
Fuckers
I’m putting this up in case anybody wants to say anything about the healthcare anti-woman shit train. Anti-human shit train, really; just a heavier load for the wimmins. Anyway, I’m too goddamn tired to write a post. Whatever. Fuckers.
Dr. Socks briefly emerges from joyous Christmas preparations to snark on the state of our national discourse
Putting down my hot glue gun just long enough to quote Glenn Greenwald: Of all the posts I wrote this year, the one that produced the most vociferious email backlash — easily — was this one from August, which examined substantial evidence showing that, contrary to Obama’s occasional public statements in support of a public [...]
Kill the Bill
Oh, hey, this is exciting. I was off this afternoon doing reclusive leftist Christmas things, so I missed the big news: Howard Dean says “Kill The Senate Bill.” It’s a worthless motherfucker, says Dr. Dean, and it’s time to put it out of its misery. Hell to the yeah, says me, vaguely waving my hot [...]
White House to Harry Reid: Obama wants his A-minus, damnit! Give Lieberman whatever he wants!
That’s what the headline ought to say. As Obama said to Oprah, in the course of explaining why he gave himself a B+ for his first year in office: “B-plus because of the things that are undone. Health care is not yet signed. If I get health care passed, we tip into A-minus.” It’s all [...]
I’m giving myself a B+
But that’s just until Raoul gets a job and can start picking up the tab for my prescriptions. Then I think I’ll bump it up to A-minus. What lambert said: asshole. In other hilarious news, President Obama claims that he “did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers [...]
Clinton/Gaga 2012
Or maybe 2016. We gotta plan ahead. Read Falstaff on the incompetence of the Obama administration (more on that later) and Hillary Clinton’s prospects: The most interesting thing to me, political-leader-wise, is Hillary’s position. I think she’s holding a remarkable hand. If/when it becomes obvious to a majority of Americans that Barack Obama is Jimmy [...]
The Dalai Lama and other good dudes
It’s Dude Day here at the Reclusive Leftist, wherein we acknowledge the work of various dudes who are more or less on the side of The Good. This is a totally new thing which I just now came up with mostly because I need a theme for this post. Arthur Silber Link + Hilarious Dalai [...]
Infuriated mama offers Democratic Party free clue
Shannon Drury (who, in addition to being an infuriated mama, is also the president of Minnesota NOW): I’m currently of the opinion that the Affordable Health Care for All Act, in its current form, is an embarrassment and ought to be death paneled immediately……Minnesota state senator (and ’10 gubernatorial candidate) John Marty told me of [...]
Quick links: today is “Stop Stupak” day
It’s the No Abortion Ban National Day of Action (I like “Stop Stupak” better myself, but who am I?): Center for Reproductive Rights: No Abortion Ban – National Day of Action NOW: Stop Stupak! Stop Stupak Coalition: DC Lobby Day and National Week of Action Planned Parenthood: Action Center NARAL: Day of Action to Stop [...]
Dr. Socks leaves the house
I’m going to be traveling for the next few days, so my internet access will be intermittent. This is an awkward time for an away mission, what with the barricades going up and the citizen militias forming, but I have no choice. There are big doings afoot which I must attend. When I get back [...]
