The Right, The Left & Everything in the Middle
Political discussions that occassionally meet in the middle.
Welcome to the Fold, Mr. Specter
By Michelle
This week, Senator Arlen Specter left the Republican Party to become a Democrat. It was pretty earth-shattering news. News that brought joy to the hearts of many Democrats and fury to the hearts of many Republicans. You’d think that I’d be filled with joy, and to some degree I am. But I also have serious [...]
Decisions are Made by Those Who Show Up
By Michelle
The small town in which Valerie and I live is about to have elections. We will be voting in a few weeks to fill 2 spaces on our School Committee and 1 space on our Board of Selectmen. There are two candidates: 2 for the School Committee and 1 for the Board of Selectmen.
This is [...]
Barnie Frank, D-MA
By Michelle
Valerie and I just had lunch, and one thing that we agreed on was that we both hate Barnie Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
I feel like I should like Frank. He leans well to the left and purports to be looking out for the little guy in terms of housing and social [...]
At dinner one night in February my first grader described the discussion his class had had about Presidents’ Day. The kids had all been asked to think about several questions: If you became president, who would your vice president be? What would the title of your first speech be? What would you want to change the [...]
So Tired of Business as Usual
By Michelle
Wednesday my blogging partner and right-hand woman, Valerie, posted a video released by the National Republican Senatorial Committee attacking President Obama for not fulfilling his campaign promises. I had not seen the video until Valerie posted it, as something posted by the NRSC is not likely to attract my interest or support. Now that I [...]
Free Money Can’t be Refused. Or Can It?
By Michelle
I’ve been reading about a number of Governors who plan on refusing money from the Stimulus Plan for unemployment in their states. It started with Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. He (and other GOP governors) don’t like the strings attached to the stimulus money, which are supposed to expand the unemployment program, but which Jindal claims [...]
We Need Health Care, Universally
By Michelle
My cat is dying. We think she has cancer, and she’s wasting away before our eyes. So what? I hear you say. Or, I’m so sorry, from the soft hearted among you. This isn’t a personal blog though, it’s about politics, so why are you talking about your cat? you ask either way.
This is the [...]
Stimulus?
By Michelle
Valerie and I agreed to write about the stimulus several weeks ago. I have thought about it and thought about it, and I cannot figure out what I want to say. I know that our economy needs stimulating. That much is obvious. And I’m glad that the Obama administration has pushed through a package. Something [...]
Of Layoffs, Bonuses and Bailouts
By Michelle
When I graduated from college, lo those many years ago, it was possible to get a job and expect that you would be there until you retire in your sixties with a full pension and benefits. Only a few years after I graduated, the era of downsizing began. That is to say the era of indiscriminately getting [...]
I’m Michelle and I’m the Left
By Michelle
I think I should begin with full disclosure: I am a bleeding heart liberal. I have been pretty much since birth. In fact, I go out of my way to call my self a liberal, despite the term having taken on a negative connotation. I never call myself progressive and cringe when I hear that [...]
Been Away Awhile
By Valerie
I apologize for not updating soon. Between my step-father having four strokes and my much beloved uncle passing away unexpectedly, I have had quite a bit on my plate lately. I will try to do better in the future.
Additionally, I would like to point out that my blogging partner, Michelle, will not be writing any [...]
Cop Won’t Apologize To Professor
By Valerie
The police officer who arrested Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. won’t apologize to the Harvard Professor he arrested earlier this week. As well he shouldn’t. Sgt. James Crowley was called to Gates’ residence to check out a possible break-in. A passerby called police after she witnessed two black men with back packs attempting to [...]
Told You So!
By Valerie
Remember when Obama promised during his campaign not to raise taxes on the middle class, those making under $250,000 per year? Remember how liberal dimwits actually believed that load of crap and Republicans questioned how Obama was going to pay for all the spending he planned to do without taxing the middle class? Well guess [...]
Freedom For Iran!
By Valerie
Two weeks after Iran’s “democratic” elections, protesters are still demonstrating against the results of the election which they (and anyone with a hanful of brain cells) believe to have been rigged in favor of that nut Amadinejad. Oh how we all hoped he would lose! I am also very glad that many Iranians also hoped he would [...]
Health Care Reform Makes No Sense
By Valerie
Obama and his administration want to reform health care. The idea is to provide a government-run (the government can’t run itself let alone health care, so this alone should scare you) medical insurance at tax-payer expense. Supposedly this will force private insurers to be more competitive and keep costs down. The problem is that according [...]
“They’re not women! They’re Republicans!”
By Valerie
For quite some time now, my blogging partner has been threatening to write about bumper stickers that make her blood boil. I am going to beat her to the punch. The title of this post, “They’re not women! They’re Republicans!” is a bumper sticker and it is about as offensive as they come. I’d get [...]
More Left Wing Hypocrisy
By Valerie
Shortly after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued her warning about right-wing extremism I began thinking about the left wing’s incredible hypocrisy on the subject of inciting violence and terrorism. Then just today, I saw this video on William Jacobson’s blog, Legal Insurrection.
Here are some other little gems I have rounded up (emphasis is mine):
“Republicans [...]
Another Topic I Didn’t Want To Discuss
By Valerie
This is another topic which I did not want to discuss. Considering recent events, I feel compelled to put in my two cents. Late-term abortion is just plain evil. Unless the mother is going to die or the baby is severly malformed, there is no reason whatsoever to perform one. Period. I am reluctantly pro-choice, but [...]
Another Automaker Going Bankrupt
By Valerie
Just a couple of weeks ago I wrote about Chrysler’s impending bankruptcy and how heartbroken I am over it. Now it looks like GM is headed down the same road and I am sick.
Today, a committee of bondholders has agreed to a new deal proposed by the U.S. government to lessen the automaker’s debt in [...]
The California Supreme Court upheld Prop 8 outlawing gay marriage. I guess now is when the anti-Christian spleen venting will begin (as if only Christians oppose gay marriage). However, let me offer gay marriage activists a little piece of advice. You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, as my grandmother used to [...]
