Just in time for the mid-term elections, Wired.com and MAPLight.org have come up with a nifty tool called the Influence Tracker where you can look up your U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives to see who/what their biggest corporate contributors up. I looked up Senator Saxby Chambliss and he’s bought to you by Goldman Sachs among [...]

Posted in politics on September 20, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Today, President Obama had a Q&A session on CNBC when a Wall Street hedge fund manager asked why Wall Street folks are being whacked with sticks like pinatas. POTUS took him to “school.” Watch below: Here’s my real world translation of Obama’s response in five words or less: “Stop whining, bitches!” or “Quit being so [...]

This is on a serious note. Spouting bigoted and hateful rhetoric leads to violence. This week, a man stabbed a NYC cab driver because he was Muslim. Below is a video of a crowd who almost jumped a black man wearing a skull cap because they thought he might be a Muslim. Please, people, increase [...]

Well, Sarah “mama grizzly” Palin has come to Dr. Laura’s defense. (See here). Saying people are taking away Dr. Laura’s right to say the n-word eleven times and belittle the concerns of black people. No, Dr. Laura, no one has trampled on your right to open your mouth and spew the bigoted crap you call [...]

Well, Sonny Perdue has signed a bill which will take away tax credits to the poor. Conveniently, he’s yucking it up in Cuba right now, so he’s not even here to take his due criticism. While he was at it, he also signed a gun bill that will allow folks to carry guns in non-federally [...]

Meanwhile, the legislature also passed a law to eliminate a refund given to the nation’s poorest Georgia–which will only save $29 million. What kind [...]
