Thanks for clearing that up...

In the wake of the accusation against Kavanaugh, Senator Chuck Grassley is making it clear that we still have good reason to question whether Congress really deems women to be worthy of equal consideration.

Thanks for clearing that up, Chuck.

Watching the GOPers slip-slide on Kavanaugh

Watching the Judiciary Committee meeting on Cspan2, proceeding on Kavanaugh.

Grassley is setting new records for sliminess.

Grassley seems to be asserting 'Just because we are refusing to disclose doesn't mean that we're hiding what we don't want you to see.'

"Just a teacher"

There was a candidate debate in the race for Colorado treasurer, and Brian Watson (R) accused Dave Young (D) of being "just a teacher" (nevermind his post-teaching years in the legislature, including work on the budget committee). Anyway, the remark was beyond offensive, to ALL teachers. So I put together this little "ballot". I'm going to print up some copies and stick them in my car windows. For the record, I know Dave. I was pleased to work on his campaigns for the state legislature, where his work has been so good that his re-election campaign drew workers from adjacent districts. For those who have not yet met him, he is more than well-qualified, and he welcomes conversation and interaction.

Oh, Sarah, we've missed you! Not.

Haven't seen Ms. Sarah for a few days. Judging by today's presser she's been stocking up on her supply of snotty blame-shifting and name-calling. Sadly, this is about the only consistency we see from this White House.



I would like to know what dictionary she relies on for her definition of 'transparent'...

All the President's (con)Men

Watching “The President’s Men” (about Watergate) on MSNBC. The thought occurs that Trump has something that Nixon lacked — the comfort of a complicit Congress, and very possibly an obedient Supreme Court.

My stomach just spasmed.
