Instead of watching a replay of the State of the Union speech I’ll be catching up with yesterday’s 24. I did catch part of Virginia governor Tim Kaine’s speech was pretty good. It was full of good spirit and moderate in temperment. He impressed me.

In a remarkable example of flip-flopping Democratic Assemblymen Terry Van Akkeren of Sheboygan and John Steinbrink of Pleasant Prairie both backed Gov. Doyle’s veto when they initially voted for the bill. I wonder what the two Faith No More fish got out of handing their votes and credibility to Doyle?

Coretta Scott King worked with her husband to demonstrate that all people were equal under law. That despite efforts by Martin Luther King, Jr.:
“Martin was a very strong person, and in many ways had very traditional ideas about women,” she told The New York Times Magazine in 1982. She continued: “He’d say, “I have no […]
Sen. Kennedy went crazy on the Senate floor in his failed attempt at a filibuster. His red, balloon face almost exploded. From hearing Teddy you’d think Judge Alito’s goal was to subjugate women, minorities, and the disabled. If only Sen. Kennedy were as passionate on 07.18.1969 as he was yesterday.
Good news for GOP Congressional races. […]
I suspect Random House, the publisher of James Frey’s A Million Little Pieces, will never re-classify the book as fiction. Adding publisher’s and author’s notes stating that not everything contained within is true might pacify critics. What it won’t do is stop the Brooklyn Public Library from putting the book where it correctly belongs.
It is […]
Sen. John Kerry and his fellow Senate Democrats could only round up 25 votes in their attempted filibuster of Judge Sam Alito’s nomination. Nineteen Democrats joined 53 Republicans to end debate and force a confirmation vote. Bravo to Sen. Kohl, and shame on Sen. Feingold.

Despite Sen. Lincoln Chafee, being a typical liberal GOP squish, opposing Judge Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court there are enough votes to stop a Democratic filibuster:
“I am a pro-choice (abortion rights), pro-environment, pro-Bill of Rights Republican and I will be voting against this nomination,” said Chafee, a moderate up for re-election in a state […]
Charlie Sykes might not need any material. He could spend 3 1/2 hours letting callers rant and nash their teeth about Brett Favre. Here’s some non-Packers material anyway:
Cindy Sheehan will camp outside President Bush’s ranch this April, and fellow wacko Hugo Chavez supports her and even told her to run for President.
Senators Biden and Obama […]
Expect Aaron Rodgers to be starting as quarterback for the Packers next season. That’s because if you had to force Brett Favre to make a decision at this moment he would retire. That’s what he told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen in an interview aired Sunday night. It’s not the physical part of the game that’s weighing […]
It’s complete. Kos owns the Democratic Party. Like Hamas in Palestine he’s going to have a hell of a time managing things.

More evidence that Wikipedia should not be the vaunted reference many think it should be:
The staff of U.S. Rep Marty Meehan wiped out references to his broken term-limits pledge as well as information about his huge campaign war chest in an independent biography of the Lowell Democrat on a Web site that bills itself as […]
There is a downside to getting a partial-season ticket package as a gift: you attend games where you wish you could pull out the remote control and change the channel. Today, my father and I sat through the sloppiest NBA I can remember. Neither the Boston Celtics or the Milwaukee Bucks could made a crisp […]
An ABC News anchorman and his camera man get seriously injured from an Iraqi terrorist bomb, and it’s the biggest story of the day. They were interrupting sports talk on Milwaukee radio to keep us informed. I feel badly for both Bob Woodruff and Doug Vogt, but frankly, I never heard of either of them […]
An Alito filibuster might not be enough to keep Cindy Sheehan from running for the U.S. Senate:
Sheehan said running in the Democratic primary would help make a broader point.
“If I decided to run, I would have no illusions of winning, but it would bring attention to all the peace candidates in the country,” she said.
Sheehan, […]
“best political websites”
I’d like to thank the fine engineers at Google for this honor. I don’t know what I did to deserve it. Really, I’m clueless, but I’m not complaining.
