On a serious note, regarding a prominent issue in the national dialogue

By jeff | Published: December 30, 2009
I’m skeptical of almost everything Truthout posts (what’s in a name, anyway?), but Eugene Robinson nailed it today: Progressives who argue for killing the Senate bill and starting over should explain their position to the 30 million Americans without health insurance who would be covered under this insufficiently progressive legislation. They should recall that when Obama [...]

The people who make information for Republicans have no sense whatever.

By jeff | Published: December 16, 2009
Today I (D-Brooklyn) recieved my first e-mail from GOP chairman Michael Steele who, as we and many, many others have noted, sucks bad at his job. What am I doing on Republican mailing lists, you ask? Short answer: I have no fucking clue. But for those of you signed up for the DNC list, just [...]
