DU Posting Rules

Reading the rules of the DU is very enlightening. For such a group of “enlightened” individuals, they sure have alot of rules against non-liberals/progressives. WHO IS WELCOME ON DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND, AND WHO IS NOT We ban conservative disruptors who are opposed to the broad goals of this website. If you think overall that George W. […]

Hurricane Blogging

Yes, hurricane blogging from Raleigh/Durham, NC. Obviously, nada compared to what others have gone through, but we are under Flaash Flood and Tornado watchs. We just had a tornado warning, and, according to doppler, the spot of the tornado, or at least the funnel cloud, slid just southeast of my place of business 10 minutes […]

Just like a Rainbow in the Dark

Can the title of that classic Ronnie Jame Dio song fit John Kerry any more? “Today,” said Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt, “John Kerry’s position on Iraq descended into complete incoherence.” Mr. Imus seemed to agree. “I was just back in my office banging my head on the jukebox,” Mr. Imus said. “This is my […]

Worse then Rather

Well, not really. But maybe so. Worse then Kerry? Probably. Maybe. I don’t know. But the 2004-2005 NHL Season is done. Gone. Over. The Players Association and the Owners are so far apart that there is no room for discourse. I originally believed that we would have a lockout or strike, with hockey returning in […]

Is this actually from the DU?

My asbestos suit is on: We need to drop the AWOL stuff….vi5 This isn’t swaying anyone. Even if all the documents and everyone else’s account is 100% true, this has been looked at before and was greeted with a collective shrug. I think after it was looked into when Michael Moore made his comment and […]

Support of Criminals

This seems to be so standard nowadays, where people come out in support of people who are criminals. Jarret Brown was arrested with several dozen pipe bombs. Has he been convicted yet? No. But he was caught with them. He is guilty. Period. And, apparently, people have started a website in support of him. Hello!: […]

Dan? It’s the Hill on line 1

Looks like Dan “Trust Me” Rather and the CallussBullShat network have attracted the eye of Congress, who are calling for an investigation. And well they should. Freedom of the Press is all fine and good, but, I don’t believe that lies are part of that Freedom. It was fantastic that the Blogosphere caught this, and […]

Blogging in Pajamas

You may have noticed the graphic to the right. Well, Suzy Rice has a nice little graphic for all us pajama bloggers. Quite frankly, I never wear pajamas, but sweats (when it is cold) and cotton athletic shorts qualify, I do believe. I normally post only when home, so I often am wearing something comfy […]

What would Kerry do?

Byron over at Slings and Arrows brings up a good point: why hasn’t Senator Kerry brought legislation to the floor of the Senate to extend the assault weapons ban? The Honorable Senator Kerry has cast aspersions at President Bush, and questioned why he didn’t ask for an extension. President Bush has said he would sign […]

Delta Redux

Back on Sept 7th, there was a story about a US Soldier who was treated poorly by Delta Airlines that I blogged. I sent Delta an email, and received this back: Dear Mr. Teach, Thank you for your message via Delta’s Web site. We are grateful for your taking the time to share your concerns […]
