"All Wives Matter" – new Trump / Gingrich ticket bumper sticker.
h/t to teacherken at kos
kinda puts the lie to all those oh-so-serious moral concerns of our Far Right Christian Minders, no?
I saw the best campaign bumper sticker thus far couple days ago in Lakewood.
Picard – Riker – 2016
I'm fond of
They've got my vote!
The Koch Brothers continue to pollute the political process as they've polluted the environment for so many years. Brother Charles – a sociopath conservative – disingenuously compares Trump and Hillary to "cancer or a heart attack":
Do both sides do this?
Nope.
Well, in fairness, Trump's trade policy does suck. He has called for 45 percent tariffs, which would ensure a catastrophic worldwide depress as other nations retaliated against that illegal attack on the common welfare.
instead of tariffs we could reverse tax policy to give American corporations incentives to move factories back to the U.S. and onshore the millions of jobs that they've offshored over the years. If China needs to be targeted specifically to achieve those goals then it should be targeted, even at the expense of the profits of America's proud yet subsidized corporations.
If American corporations don't want to "be American", then we should double or triple those incentives for those that do, and cut Apple and GE and Maytag and Owens-Corning (a personal "fuck you" from me to them) and Citi and the rest to the proverbial wind.
And if this somehow hurts V's bottom line or internationalitst fee-fees or the sanctity of his boss's re-election, then I know for sure it's a good idea.
Z wouldn't know a good idea if it bit him on the nose. As to my boss, if you mean my income, my “boss” is Social Security, and my wife, of course. Still, you have shown real intelligence in recognizing that crappy tax policy, not NAFTA or other trade laws, propel our tax “inversions” and other scandals.
So…while I am enjoying my lunch, I thought I would take the opportunity to do a little scolding and pick a bone with the Pueblo Chieftain. I will pick that bone in a minute…
I tried to make a comment a couple of weeks ago, at that website, to some ignorant crap from some local trolls who posted in response to a story about Gail Schwartz receiving an endorsement from the Conservation Colorado folks. They were incorrectly asserting that Gail (whose "all of the above" energy policy isn't my favorite) would cost the energy sector lots of jobs. Poppycock.The future is costing the fossil fuel energy its dominance of the energy market.
The external costs of continuing to poison our world in order to move us, power us, and keep us comfortable are no longer tolerable. I am quite sure Gail understands this dynamic as well as anyone, but she is committed to the AOTA policy because, first and foremost, Gail is committed to serving her constituents…all of them.
I have heard her say it repeatedly. Gail does not just care about the people who vote for her. This commitment is in sharp contrast to her incumbent opponent whose loyalties seem to lie wholly in the corporate interests of a number of companies whose governing structures do not lie within the 3rd CD. Gail will fight for our local people after they have become no longer useful to the extractive industries who make their fortunes on Colorados' minerals..
and now to my beef with the Chieftain…
The Pueblo Chieftain uses a commenting system called Disqus.
Yeesh…WTF, Chieftain? After I was sent to their (Disqus) website where I was encouraged to "participate" in a bunch of marketing nonsense. I "verified my e-mail address" about 8 times and when I went back to see my rebuttal ( which bore a resemblance to the above) the story was gone…what gives, ya'll?
Give me your best guess, Duke. Does Gail have a real shot? I'm thinking of bypassing DCCC and sending her $100 directly. I liked her a lot in the lege.
She has a real shot, V. Remember that she unseated highly-regarded GOP veteran Lew Entz in her first run for the state Senate. She outworked him, small town by small town, parade by parade, service club by service club. She's a terrific speaker and wonderful listener and can respond to anyone without resorting to talking points. Tipton knows no other language and isn't known for a work ethic.
Your money would be well spent.
I completely agree with Gertie.I think Gail has an even better shot than Buffie would have had. I have known Gail a long time and, though I am quite a bit to the left of Gail, I fully support her. Her integrity is beyond question. And, as Gertie says, she earns it…she just works really hard. It has always before paid off for her.
I use Disqus – it is irritating because one has to sign in at several stages to comment. It is nice because it archives comments from several sources. If for some reason, I want to see something snarky I wrote about something now irrelevant several months ago.
I hope everyone's right about Gail Schwartz' chances. If she is even slightly less bought off by the corporate and energy sectors than Tipton, it's a change worth making. She has to be better on social policy (immigration, choice, public education, poverty) than Tipton – because a friendly shelter dog would be better than Scott Tipton on social policy.
1. The Big Line needs to be updated.

My question, after watching that video, is whether Nic Morse Jr.'s middle school digital media class got extra credit for producing it.
Bipartisanship in the Age of Tea:
You mean there are two kinds of forks?
This is my special V fork.
Need to mention a bit of fun for a change. Wondering if anyone else caught the PBS show this past weekend for the 50th anniversary of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It was filmed live last October at the famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville (for the uneducated, Ryman is the original home of the Grand Old Opry).
Lots of special guests including original band member Jackson Browne; John Prine; Jerry Jeff Walker; Rodney Crowell; Allison Kraus; Vince Gill; and former band member Jimmie Ibbottson. Check it out if it comes around again. As usual, the best shows like this are part of PBS' continuous fundraising. But they did have original band members Jeff Hanna and Jimmie Fadden on as guests for that. Interesting to hear their perspectives about this classic and long lived country-rock-folk band.
I caught it…great show….Jackson Browne almost brought me to tears.

never mind
Speaking of PBS, let's see that history also records . . .
