On April 24, 2013, at 4:00 pm in the afternoon, I was let go from my job. I was told it was "not for cause" and I was certainly eligible to apply for other jobs at this employer. The manager who told me this wasn't happy about it, but what could he do?

I'm afraid. Really afraid. What am I going to do?

Yes, you, Republican Party.

Hate.

You.

I hate with you with an unrelenting loathing that is sure to send me to straight to Hell, and somehow, I just can't bring myself to care about that.

I am a great fan of The Colbert Report, and of Stephen Colbert, who manages to both personify and satirize conservative right-wing ideology. Last night, December 16, he said something should be tattooed on the foreheads of every Republican in Congress - twice for Republican Senators - every Blue Dog Democrat, and Bill O'Reilly.

I first read about this in the May 23, 2010, Sunday edition of the Omaha World Herald - which is not exactly a bastion of liberalism. It is, however, a pretty respectable newspaper that can be trusted to be pretty accurate. The story was originally published in the LA Times.

The "Kevin Costner Solution"

What does it say about private enterprise and our government, when an actor spends his own time and money ($24 million of his own money) to purchase technology in 1995 and give it to scientists and engineers to finetune?

...or any other Democrat with a spine (I know, I know) say to all those Republicans and neoconservatives and the rest of wingnuttia, right there on the floor of Congress.

Why?

Maybe because I'm tired of being told how this country was founded on "Christian" principles and how the government IS a "Christian" government, and how the Right's hypocrisy gives the lie to those words.

Last night, on Countown, Howard Fineman made a comment that really caught my attention. He said that a "African-American journalist" (unnamed) he spoke with after Obama's speech said he wasn't sure if the speech would catch on with "the knucklehead vote."

Excuse me? The knucklehead vote?
