Dogs Against Romney

By: Elliott Thursday January 5, 2012 6:00 pm

We have a man running for President entirely devoid of empathy for his own dog. How will he treat the rest of us Americans, let alone the rest of the world?

Downticket Races May Save Your House, Health, and Community

By: Peterr Saturday October 30, 2010 9:00 am

There’s nothing that the people running campaigns in downticket races fear more than a tidal wave at the top of the ticket. Some voters will be discouraged at being swept away by the wave, and won’t come to the polls. Other voters, excited to be part of the wave, will come and vote in that big race and maybe a couple more, but then leave the booth and neglect the other races entirely.

That’s a shame, because when times are tough and DC is in gridlock, those downticket races may be the very ones that save your house, your health, and your community.

Why Does The Humane Society Hate Puppies?

In the long and storied history of phony pretzel-logic right-wing arguments, this is surely one of the all-time greats.

Four People Face Federal Prison for Passing Out Leaflets and Chalking Slogans

By: Kirk Murphy Saturday May 23, 2009 6:01 pm

Today four Northern California animal rights activists await Federal criminal trial for ghastly crimes including passing out leaflets, chalking slogans on pavement, and chanting. Oh, and using the internet to locate the indivduals they were protesting. Yes, the world’s only superpower can’t be bothered to defend us against banksters’ ursury or death from want of health care, but when it comes to leaflets, chalked slogans, and Google searches, they’re here for us. To shut us up.

Holdover Bush Appointees Defy Obama, Support Japanese Whaling

By: Kirk Murphy Friday January 30, 2009 5:04 pm

I can’t figure out if these Bushies are doing it for the usual bribes, or because they’re homicidally jealous of sentient beings.

California Ballot Initiatives: Yes on 2

By: Jane Hamsher Sunday October 26, 2008 7:30 pm

Farm Animal Confinement. YES. This initiative requires that farm animals be penned in cages that allow them to lie down, stand up, fully extend their limbs, and turn around freely. In practice, it would affect only the egg industry, and it moves California very moderately in the direction of more humane treatment of farm animals. The factory farming industry is running the usual campaign claiming that it would put California farmers out of business entirely, but that dog just won’t hunt anymore.

Why Does Sarah Palin Hate God’s Creatures?

By: Kirk Murphy Tuesday September 16, 2008 3:45 pm

When I was in Sunday School, the Book of Genesis we read there taught us all the living creatures on Earth were God’s creation. Though different Biblical translations and versions use different words, I’ve never heard of any version of Genesis that left out God’s role in creating all life on Earth; I’m confident even Sarah Palin’s atavistic, violence-loving Dominionist sect tells the Genesis story this way.

“I Am A Illiterate Who Has To Rely On My Wife”

By: Teddy Partridge Thursday July 17, 2008 2:14 pm

Not much to add here. The self-deprecating reference to attendance at the United States Naval Academy in the Coolidge Administration did not get the laugh Old Lord McCain expected — and probably gets from the BBQ Krew on the Double Talk Express.
