Hugh, Harry & Dina

I guess since Blue Lyon was summarily removed from many a “progressive” Nevada blog roll because I refused to drink the Obama Koolaid, Hugh may not be aware that this liberal blogger has been highly critical of Harry and the spineless crew in D.C. Eh..no matter.  Do read his recent Damned Pundit column. Good stuff. Many are holding Reid [...]

Hypocrisy abounds

Frankly, I don’t have a problem with this at all. Senate Democrats are scrambling to defeat a Republican-backed provision that would allow gun owners to carry their weapons across state lines, overriding the stricter laws of many jurisdictions and giving preference to states with looser standards.

Getting it wrong again

I keep telling Maven that she needs to put her health care posts on the front page. This one, lambasting Mitch McConnell is no different.  Here’s just one little snippet.
