Governor, mayor refuse to offer official welcome to atheist convention
Gov. Bill Owens and Mayor Lionel Rivera declined to extend an official welcome to the Atheist Alliance for its national convention this weekend, and attendees said they felt slighted.
Rivera said he thinks the group’s request for a letter of welcome was the only one he […]

ok…after I wrote myself in and Erika gave me some good-natured ribbing (I would need to shave everyday; I would need to get dressed up sometimes; I would have to not hate people — you know, the minor things) I got to thinking:
What would be the worst thing that could be dug up on me, […]

so…on tuesday, I voted in the MA Democratic Primary. I noticed that for the office of ward representative there was nothing but “write-in” spaces…so I did!
I’m expecting that any day now I’ll get a knock on the door and be told that I’m running for ward representative. I figure with something like 10 spots […]

so…at lunch today we got to talking about stuff, and I mentioned an article I saw that asked a series of civics questions. The article implied that most people born in the U.S. know less than naturalized citizens when it comes to civics.

I normally don’t do political posts…or do them well, if I do. I tend to get angry about something, make a comment, and then want to be done with it. I like that I can have my opinion, in my own space, and I don’t care if someone agrees with it or not. It’s my […]

so…I found these pictures and thought with all of the hoopla over Dean’s energitic speech in Iowa we should take a look at Kerry for who he really is…

The caption on this read: “Sen. John Kerry looks into a window of a home with a supporter while canvassing a neighborhood in Merrimack, N.H.”
oooookkkkkaaaayyy….good thing Kerry […]

I would like to to highlight a new addition to the educated blogging world: Jen.
Not only is she homophobic (from my comments):
Bush is awesome. Democrats suck. You dumb fucks are the ones who are going to elect the next idiot straight into presidency and then our country really will turn to shit. Face it, Bush […]

the damned State of the Union is just starting and I’m already pissed!
wipe the stupid fucking grin off your face, W. Yes, they are clapping for you…it doesn’t mean that they like you…they get paid to suck farts out of your ass.
and the standing and the sitting and the standing and the clapping. The speech […]
