Bruce Bartlett’s thoughtful piece has been making the rounds. The GOPs Misplaced Rage – The Daily Beast David Horsey: We Want Our Country Back In my opinion, conservative activists, who seem to believe that the louder they shout the more correct their beliefs must be, are less angry about Obama’s policies than they are about having lost the White House in 2008. They are primarily Republican Party hacks trying to overturn the election results, not representatives of a true grassroots revolt against liberal policies. If that were the case they would have been out demonstrating against the Medicare drug benefit,…

We are a globeful of dopamine addicts. We endlessly seek and never find the newest new thing. Slate: Seeking Seeking. You can’t stop doing it. Sometimes it feels as if the basic drives for food, sex, and sleep have been overridden by a new need for endless nuggets of electronic information. We are so insatiably curious that we gather data even if it gets us in trouble. Google searches are becoming a cause of mistrials as jurors, after hearing testimony, ignore judges’ instructions and go look up facts for themselves. We search for information we don’t even care about. Nina…

Those damn liberals made his life safer, more comfortable, and cleaner than it might have been if upper class Republicans had their way. Thom Hartmann: Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican | Video Cafe Joe is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home.

Oh, for the love of Mike, what a maroon moomom moran #Palin is. Evil image of black cat evilly ganked from OneUtah, a blog you should read. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sarah Palin: Obama’s healthcare ‘evil’: The Swamp After a brief respite from Twritter and all the rest, the early-self-retired-resigned-withdrawn-bowed-out governor of Alaska has returned to Facebook. With fire: Calling President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform “downright evil.” “The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’…

As you were. #episcopalian #anglican #kerfuffle PRELUDIUM: Bp. Anderson paranoia a copy-cat caper. Bishop David Anderson let loose with a dozy of a conspiracy theory last week. I reported on it HERE. It turns out the theory was lifted from a though piece by The Rev’d Geoffrey M. St.J. Hoare, the rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Georgia. That essay was picked up by Jonathan Wynne-Jones in an article titled, “Americans planning to start a civil war in the Church of England.” The thread was in turn picked up by Episcopal Cafe in “One plus one equals six…

Bought a brand new Gateway, struggling to get used to Vista… hope this wasn’t a mistake. Gateway SX2800-01 – CNET TV Oh, well, maybe this was one of those impulse buys, even though C/NET really liked it and picked it for a recent Editor’s Choice award. My previous desktop computer (the one Riley liked to sleep on) would no longer boot up and since there’s a Tiger Direct/CompUSA nearby, it was decided (yay) that I would have a new computer rather than settle for replacing the old CPU and soldiering on with the previous system (which was made up out…
