Kirstin Breitweiser is one of the most resilient people I’ve ever met. A widow of the World Trade Center disaster, she voted for Bush in 2000. However, after seeing BushCo completely misfire in the war on terror and the war in Iraq, she has developed into one of the Democrats’ biggest advocates. I met her …
A tip of the hat to Chad Cordero, who racked up his 24th save of the season tonight in the Nats’ 3-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
I realized that I have a lot in common with the walking boil known as Karl Rove. Both of us were born and raised in the mountain west. Both of us were raised in Republican households. And both Karl Rove and I attended the University of Utah, and both of us left the school before …
Today at the College Republicans‘ national convention in Arlington, VA, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council made a very questionable comparison between the men and women serving in the U.S. armed forces and the kids of the College Republicans: “They’re giving their lives as you’re giving your time.” Essentially, he was ranking the actions …

Just received a call from a pollster, asking about political views. But because I’m an elected official and an official member of the D.C.

Karl Rove is the embodiment of all that is wrong with theocons and the right wing of the Republican Party. He is truly evil, and wishes to destroy all that is good and just about the United States by spreading lies and distortions that create unnecessary fear and cruel societal manipulations. It is Rove who …
For a long time, I’ve been troubled by high school kids making the jump to professional sports by completely foregoing college. While there are a few exceptions, most of these kids don’t have the emotional maturity to enter a society of adults. They don’t have the basic life skills to cope with adult matters like …
Last night I’d planned on going on the Potomac Pedalers’ Tuesday night ride from Mitchell Park. However, during they day I’d developed a nasty, spreading skin rash that just wouldn’t go away. It was nasty, and it thwarted my ride plans. Pity, as it was a nice night for a ride. But there are more …
Both Ken Tomlinson and George Neumayr (executive editor of The American Spectator) can bite me. They wouldn’t know “balanced opinions” if said opinions tackled them like William “The Fridge” Perry. Yet these two – with full support of the BushCo theocons – are on a mission to strip CPB, PBS and NPR of funding due …
