Don’t blame the Republicans

WASHINGTON — With Congress increasingly paralyzed by the partisan fury of the midterm elections, the Senate on Tuesday voted against taking up a major military bill that includes a provision allowing the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” regarding gay soldiers.

The Party of “Hell, no!”

Attention Talking Heads

Hey … all you network talking heads on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and Fox covering the Democratic National Convention!

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I’m trying to listen to the various speeches … all of them, not just the one or two you deem important, but I can’t hear them over the commentators’ blather … [...]
