Wanted: Democrat with a spine

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

[ed. note - We just keep on growing. I give you, Peter Slutsky]
Good afternoon to the blogosphere. This is my first post on SkaroffBlog and I come to you with a very important message…
Over the past year, Washington, DC has been enthralled in multiple ethics scandals that could threaten the Republican majority in the [...]

Neat Stuff

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

It’s been a while since I did a round of cool and interesting links, so I though I’d throw some stuff out there for y’all.

Kos found a great flash applet, courtesy of Arlington, VA’s Newseum, an interactive news museum dedicated to helping the public and media interact and study the ever-valuable and under attack First [...]

Ok, I Slept On It

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

Remember when you’d ask your mother for advice about something and she’d offer her opinion and add “why don’t you sleep on it?” Well, that’s exactly what i’ve done and I wanted to clarify my previous post about George Bush being a cokehead.
While I hold no respect for the man– I do not intend to [...]

The only thing worse than a cokehead…

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

Is a lying cokehead. Check out Bush as he lies to the American people LIVE on TV right now!
Friends, this is a sad speech because someday we’ll look back (the same way we can do today about Vietnam) and realize that this is one of those moments in time when real progress could have [...]

I love NPR

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

And so do local Jersey power poppers Fountains of Wayne apparently. Their just released album, Out-Of-State Plates oddly begins with a clip from Terry Gross’s introduction of Ken Tucker’s review of one of their past albums from Fresh Air.
I interned for WXPN for a year as a production assistant for Live at [...]

Par-tay

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

They’re saying it may be the biggest concert in North American history. They’re also saying the whole thing is a sham and shows a lack of genuine seriousness about African poverty. Regardless, I’ll be having a party on my friend’s roofdeck just a few blocks from the entire crazy event. Come by, [...]

It just keeps on coming

Lies: WMDs, War as a last resort, we have enough troops, Saddam allied with Al Qaeda, the insurgency’s “last throes.”
And now, via Political Wire and Think Progress, more lies from George W. Bush:
In 1999, George W. Bush criticized President Clinton for not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo, and yet he refuses to apply the [...]

No More Distractions!

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

To follow-up on my previous posting re: the suppression of American’s civil liberties…
Obviously Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and their staff’s were too busy today to read SkaroffBlog. If they would have read this thought-provoking blogspot–they would know that making sure the radical Republican agenda is not rammed through Congress while most Democrats nap in [...]

A Very Slippery Slope

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

Democrats Fear GOP Push on Flag-Burning is one of the top news headlines on the AP wire right now!
The chattering classes have been calling the Democrats “weak� and “scared� since September 11th and yet we continually find ourselves in this position.
The flag-burning issue, which is being debated in Congress today, is one issue [...]

AOL…it’s been a while

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

My post on the Bill of Rights and education has been picked up by AOL’s BlogZone in a collection of flag-burning amendment articles and the hits and the confused comments are pouring in. I’m sandwiched between links to DailyKos and Michelle Malkin. Pretty neat.
