Republicans at war, while Democrats sip tea
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Rachel Maddow recently spent considerable air-time on her recent show listing and commenting on the large number of Republicans who railed against and voted against the economic stimulus bill. As smart as Rachel is, she’s missing the larger point, which is the tactical game adopted by the Republicans. They know that people expect inconsistency in [...]
Agreeing w/ 2 Cons in one day: shudder! + Bail-out of the Bail-out
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Here is what conservative Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker said about Sarah Palin:
No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Ms. Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious [...]
BEWARE!: 32 alarming words from King Henry Paulson
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008“Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.”
This demand is from “Section 8″ of Henry Paulson’s “plan” to somehow save America and rectify the Wall Street financial collapse by giving $700 [...]
Hillary and Careers that require lying (not that the two go together)
Thursday, May 29th, 2008I, Rrrandy Wurst, do hereby go on record that I want and look forward to the day that America has a female president. Just not Hillary. I support feminism. But it’s a struggle to support a feminist whose claim to 35 years of experience in politics and leadership [...]
Applause to Gov. Sebelius, Choate Hall, and Brattleboro
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008My last words on the Bush State of the Union address Monday night, with a focus on the Democratic response given by Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. The lady was calm, assured, and right on the button: Americans have “no more patience with divisive politics.” Hear that Karl Rove and all you little [...]
Dennis K and Me and the Primaries
Friday, January 25th, 2008I’m not going to say that I have bigger juevos than Dennis Kucinich, but have you checked out a boar from behind lately? But seriously folks (a well-known transition in the Borscht Belt, where I am appreciated everywhere except on a dinner plate), the much under-appreciated Dennis was the best of the lot. [...]
George Bush is no “Lame Duck.” Beware!
Monday, October 1st, 2007“Lame Duck” is the name given to presidents in their last two years in office, particularly following a mid-term election that hands Congress to the opposition. Lame Ducks are supposed to live out their White House days in relative calm, blocked from meaningful action by their declining days of power.
But George Bush and the [...]
“I, Genius,” by Karl Rove
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007No, this missive isn’t by Karl Rove. It’s by me, Rrrandy Wurst. After studying Karl for years, I have come to believe that I finally understand him, what drives him, what his needs and desires are, even how he thinks, and what has brought him to the success he has achieved. Today’s [...]
Are Democrats finally standing up on their hind legs?
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Some smart people out there seem to believe that last week’s all-night session of Congress which forced House Republicans to filibuster against ending the Iraq War was a turning point in which the Democrats finally showed some guts, gumption, stones. (Don’t know what “stones” means? Ask a local National Guard soldier, if you [...]
Congress: Seeing red and feeling blue
Sunday, July 15th, 2007Rrrandy is listening to “Southern Man” by Neil Young, over and over, in a blue funk on this gorgeous mountain and ocean and sunshine-seabreezy day. I am put in this state after yesterday seeing Michael Moore’s SICKO and into the deep night watching three saved editions of Bill Moyers’ Journal. The Journal programs [...]
