I always feel like someone’s watching me

What is up with the government spying on Americans? 60% of the illegally obtained phone records and emails by the FBI were of U.S. citizens? Really? It’s o.k. to do this whole unreasonable search and seizure? Nobody’s going to march in the streets? No furious commentary on the news? No one yelling, “I’m as mad [...]

Oh, that’s just poor

We got a press announcement from Rep. Michael McCaul and this was the logo on his letterhead…seriously? A needlework version of the House Of Representatives logo?

Tacky.

Just in case you didn’t see it

I hate when I see a blog trying to decide which is worse: racism or sexism. They are both equally awful; debating the reasons they both suck gets us nowhere. In this vein, Keith Olbermann last night took on Clinton’s campaign for not distancing themselves from Ferraro’s comments that Obama is lucky to [...]

The Good Ol’ Days

I had to go to a meeting in Houston the other day and as I was driving down with some people I work with, we got to talking about growing up in the South. We talked about shellin’ peas, catfish fishin’, going to the swimmin’ hole and running around barefoot all summer long. Those really [...]

Spitzer Scores!

Once again, Texas is left out of a good sex scandal. The tri-state area governors are monopolizing the good sex stories.The governor of NY was spending thousands of dollars on hookers. Thousands? Really? They must have been lined with gold.
I don’t know what it says about your chances to get laid if even the governor [...]

He reportedly sent a mass email from repjuangarcia@hotmail.com (not Juan Garcia’s real email address, obvs) with a decade’s old photo of [...]

Thanks for the mention SXSW Interactive

A friend emailed me and said they were astonished that in a session about the influence of blogs, the speaker mentioned a “political blog in town that used to be known for really bad photoshop’ing of elected officials.”
Aww, we remember those halcyon days, too. I had so much more free time to be a raging [...]

Dawnna Dukes has learned how to use email

I’m getting a lot of emails from Dawnna Dukes. It’s like she finally realized she better let people know she’s around and doing something. Good. I’d hate to only be known as the legislator that supports Tom Craddick and goes to Paris when there’s a big vote going on, too.
She has sent scathing letters to [...]

Gays Are The Biggest Threat To America

Oklahoma legislator Sally Kern is mindboggling to listen to this ignorance and hate. Nice Christian…stupid as a box of rocks, though.

Seriously? This ignorant, hate-filled language is appalling. I don’t even know how to react except to say I condemn her.
