Senator Ted Kennedy, the Great Lion who worked tirelessly for children & working people, has died

The Great Lion’s torch is lit and has now been passed on. Hold it up high President Obama in honor of the greatest Senator to ever live…

Man, oh man. I knew the other day when I heard on the radio that Teddy (or his family) had sent a letter to the Governor…his days were limited. [...]

Poor widdle republicans…they can’t believe they’re being called EVIL-MONGERS by anyone today!

The ConservaNazis can’t believe they’re being called evil-mongers? How laughable! Let’s recap:
For 8 years these evil-mongers supported George Bush & Dick Cheney when they…

We’re protesting the town hall meetings in my town too…

Did you watch President Obama’s town hall meeting today in New Hampshire? It was pretty calm compared to what Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill had to go through today. She had to treat the unruly mob as if they were children. (Though, a wingnut did show up wearing a gun on his thigh. He brought a [...]

Did children flock to Laura Bush for a hug as they do to Michelle Obama?

Our President & First Lady have awoken a nation and the world. They are timeless to me. Michelle Obama especially is touching the lives of young girls and boys in such a positive way that it won’t surprise me if 20 years from now these young kids as grown ups will talk about how she [...]

Truth from the children;

The extreme right wing might have over stayed their 15 minutes of hate filled faux fame.
Read this about the way high school students, on their own, with no help from the outside or adult organization, using technology they grew up with, organized and told these hate mongers to go home.
The Westboro Baptist Church [...]

Should Jay Bybee be impeached for his role in giving the go ahead to torture?

Why start with impeachment? Maybe he should be disbarred, removed from the Ninth District Court bench, and then tortured until he tells us the truth about why he legalized torture when everyone on the planet knows that the United States and other civilized countries should not be torturing? At this point, I’m up for all [...]

Hugo Chavez of Venezuala gives President Obama a book

*thumbs up to Chavez*
You’ve probably seen the video by now. President Obama is sitting down when Hugo Chavez gets up with a book in hand and goes over to President Obama to shake his hand. When the cameras start flashing, Chavez holds the book’s cover in full view. The name of the book? It’s, “The [...]

Yea for America! We are loved again (for the most part) around the world!

30,000 people came out to hear President Obama give his nuclear disarmament speech in Prague…

And they had happy faces on too. Makes me so proud. Al Rodgers over at DailyKos has a slideshow of this speech if you’re interested. Jackeens of Democratic Underground shows how loved our President & First Lady are too. Have fun. [...]

President Obama getting ready for the G20 meeting

I must say…..our President and First Lady are a stunning couple inside and out. When the dusk light hit Michelle’s dress as she and President Obama got off the plane…I’m telling you….she was beautiful.
We are so lucky to have these two great people representing our country wherever they go. The wingers, of course, think differently. [...]

Michelle Obama starts a garden at the White House

I love this idea and leave it to Michelle Obama (and some great mobile gardeners!) to create a garden without hesitation. Laura Bush would have said, “Wha? A garden? You mean using a hoe and stuff? No thanks. Someone get me my cigarettes please.”
