My “Is Osama bin Laden Dead or Alive?” Poll at Kos

By: EdwardTeller Sunday November 29, 2009 6:57 pm

On January 14th I posted a poll at Daily Kos asking whether or not bin Laden was alive. Most thought him dead. I've just posted a new one. Now, most seem to think he's alive. Why?

First the Bad News, Then the Worse, Then….

(Promoted by jasonrosenbaum - The reactionary nature of some in this country is sickening.)

Possibly the most prescient immediate reaction to the tragedy last week was that by Josh Marshal, at Talking Points Memo. His headline read: This is Going to Get Very Dark

Dahr Jamail and Others on the Ft. Hood Shootings & How Will Lieberman Conduct His Promised Hearings?

By: EdwardTeller Sunday November 8, 2009 6:33 pm

The term "homeland security" has bothered a lot of people from all through the American political spectrum since it was coined back in late 2001, in the wake of the September 11th airplane hijackings and crashes, and the September 18th-November 16th anthrax attacks.

The Crazy Woman Knocked on McDonnell’s Door – He Didn’t Answer

By: EdwardTeller Thursday November 5, 2009 8:12 am

Looking at Tuesday's election result debris, in respect to the Crazy Woman, it is interesting that she was able to keep a real low profile, mostly being limited to probably illegal activities (like the Virginia robocalls) and facebook posts. No huge candidate rallies or - Lord Forbid!! - real life media appearances where somebody might actually ask the Crazy Woman an unscripted question.

Is Palin Really a Teabagger?

By: EdwardTeller Monday November 2, 2009 1:15 pm

The sometimes clever, sometimes obtuse, sometimes dismally clueless people who write Sarah Palin's material for her have come up with their latest - "Hoffman, Baby, Hoffman!" Unlike most of her facebook stuff, she may have even actually written that gem.

When Linda Kellen told me last winter that she was going to file an ethics complaint with the State of Alaska about then-Governor Sarah Palin, parading around in personalized gear from the snowmachine manufacturer Arctic Cat, while representing the State as chief executive, I agreed that Linda had an issue.

Alaska's lone member of the U.S. House was named in a sentencing document released today as Representative "A." It states he took in a lot of unreported money from a man about to report to jail.

NPR Story on Interracial Dating c. 1963

By: EdwardTeller Tuesday October 13, 2009 3:31 pm

Imagine listening to National Public Radio back in 1963 - I know NPR didn't exist until 1970 - and hearing this favorable report: "Throughout Georgia, young White men are forming vigilante groups to end interracial relationships between Negro men and White women."

Palin Supporters Organizing Massive Congressional Office Call-In on Columbus Day

By: EdwardTeller Monday October 12, 2009 12:13 am

Go for it, Palinbots. Call those Senators on the Finance Committee. Read the bill. Read their staffers the bill. Flood those phone lines the day before the vote. Nobody will be there, though. It is Columbus Day, a Federal Holiday.
