‘Let’s finish the fight’ against AIDS, says Obama
US President Barack Obama on Thursday added $50 million to fight AIDS in the United States and launched efforts to treat two million more people abroad. “We can beat this disease,” Obama said at an event to mark World AIDS Day which included speeches by satellite from former presidents Bill…
Women in the World
Not much blogging from me tonight, because I’m going to this big conference in Manhattan called Women in the World, which is the typical crew of rich and powerful muckety-mucks like Melinda Gates and Bill Clinton. However, you can livestream it tonight and tomorrow here. Watch live streaming video from…
Elaine Donnelly goes off the rails and over the side of the mountain with her new ‘report’ on DADT
NOTE: There’s a lot of buzz going on about the Senate hearings regarding DADT, which start today. The tentative (to be kind) moves by the Obama administration to signal he’d like to repeal it — with just a little more study and stroking of insecure manhood protective military egos —…
Shut your mouth! I’m talkin’ bout Dick…
If Bill Clinton raised a leper from the dead, Dick Morris would run around going “ew! ew!” and pointedly washing his hands. “I feel badly for the two journalists, but what were they doing in North Korea in the first place?” Dick Morris: Taking Kim Jong-Il at his word since…
Bill Kristol Is A Prince Among Kings
Todd Purdum, whom you’ve probably never heard of, wrote a piece about Sarah Palin declaring her a moose-devouring narcissistic beast of the id. Saying anything bad about a Republican woman, of course, makes the person who says it a mean, nasty sexist and probably a giant gay, because liberal gay…
I hope this doesn’t mean that Census takers will have to wear riot gear
I know that we’re supposed to hold our noses and ignore the hard right looniness (until it rolls up into another 1994 congressional takeover, and even then, let’s not look too hard, since it’s catching), but when it comes from undeniably mainstream sources like sitting Representatives and the head of…
This will all end in a shootout with the feds
I’m certainly not the expert on Outer Wingnutteria (hat tip to David for the phrase) like David Neiwert is, but I know enough to start really beginning to worry that the hardest of the hard right are going to go on a self-immolation and violence-causing spree like they did in…
Napolitano: Stranger to genuine Washington scandals
Here’s some irresponsible journalism at its best. Headline: “Napolitano is no stranger to Washington scandals“. Ooooooh! Juicy! What kind of terrible things has the Arizona governor/new head of Homeland Security been involved in? Since we know Democrats are so much more scandalous than Republicans—can lying to a nation to get…
But, Bob Casey!
Anti-choice Democrats are running in several conservative areas around the nation with the full support of the Democratic establishment. However, in 1992, Bob Casey, Sr. was roughed up by Bill Clinton’s NOW thugs because he wouldn’t support abortion-on-demand for drunk 12-year-olds, lest we forget. I’m not particularly excited by the…
Is It Okay If…Yeah. Yeah, It Is
A presumptuous candidate meets with foreign leaders, draws massive crowds and is running on a platform dedicated mainly to the force of their own personality and vague prescriptions that fall apart when the candidate is off-teleprompter. Of course, this is Sarah Palin, so she’s magically connecting with real people rather…
