Quick work trip to Singapore. Def. Think i have the coolest baggage. I keep losing stickers dayumit. I have a few hours free on sunday and after my meeting on monday.. Scoped out a couple breweries to hit up. #craftbeer #travelingjesus #sfo #beerme #inter

I’ve seen a lot of posts in the past week from Democrats saying we can’t have Clinton as the nominee because they don’t want her “baggage.”

That might be the dumbest thing I’ve heard yet. Because while we’re all pretty tired of the endless Clinton attacks, you must have slept through the last 20 years if you don’t get it: It doesn’t matter who we run. They will do the same thing to whoever the candidate is.

The last time people were using that excuse, we got Obama. The right wing didn’t have any problem at all, making him into a white-hating, revolutionary Mooslim, did they?

If it’s Elizabeth Warren, she will be Pocahontas. (She’s already called that on wingnut sites.) If it’s Bernie Sanders, he will be a commie. If it’s Martin O’Malley, he will be a corrupt Eastern mayor.

If anything, I think people are used to tuning out the Clinton attacks because they know they’ve never amounted to much. The only people who ever really care about this crap are wingnuts — and the lapdog media.

And if you don’t think the same media that allowed John Kerry’s war record to be smeared won’t let it happen again, you’re dreaming.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket, and it’s all Martin O’Malley’s fault

I agree with The New Yorker’s David Remnick that conditions are appalling for women in much of the world, as a new UN report notes in painful detail. I agree that it was not an act of global leadership, to say the least, for Hillary Clinton to use the UN as a backdrop for a self-serving… Continue reading “The world is going to hell in a handbasket, and it’s all Martin O’Malley’s fault” →

Dean backs Rahm’s opponent

Howard DEAN, former US Governor and Presidential candidate

I think Garcia might be part of the DFA endorsed slate, so of course Howard Dean’s going to back him:

WASHINGTON – Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor, Democratic National Committee chairman and presidential candidate endorsed Jesus “Chuy” Garcia over Rahm Emanuel for Chicago mayor on Thursday.

Important back story: When Emanuel was the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, he stuck it to Dean in 2006 – when Dean was the DNC chair. Emanuel wanted Dean to funnel millions of dollars to help House candidates. Emanuel taunted Dean’s “50 State Strategy” and a leaked story about how little Emanuel thought of Dean found its way into print.

Now, back to the present: Enough with the payback. What could this mean?

Dean throwing himself in the mix adds a high-profile progressive voice to Garcia’s team and hits at Emanuel’s vulnerability that was so apparent in the February primary – Emanuel’s lack of a strong ground game to spur turnout in wards where he had supporters.

I’ve been looking for a video of this forever! The Story:

Me and Rex took the car, ha, ha, stay home, stay
We’re gonna run over all the neighborhood cats
‘Cause they tease us from the other side of the fence
We’re gonna go in the swamp and you can’t hose us off

Dog dreams, dog dreams
Please don’t wake us up

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No fetch game, no, no, no

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No sit, lie down, roll over, shame

Me and Rex took the car, ha, ha, stay home, stay
We’re gonna go through everyone’s garbage
Have the dinners we deserve
We’re gonna find some great smelling bitches
And see if they meant what they said from the end of the leash

Dog dreams, dog dreams
Please don’t hose us off

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No fetch game, no, no, no

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No sit, lie down, roll over, shame

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No fetch game, no, no, no

No bad dog, no stay
No basement, no way
No choke chain, no dry food
No sit, lie down, roll over, shame

Bad dog, bad dog
Bad dog, bad dog
Bad dog, bad dog
