BRAZENLY LIBERAL — a fact-based initiative

Good God, people! If the security guard at your office building did his job courageously, he’d be a hero. Give him a big fat bonus, throw him a party and get his picture in the paper. But would you then say he should run the company without additional evidence that he [...]

After a couple of atypical decisions the SCOTUS is right back on BushTrack with a decision that ignores the language of the Second Amendment - a No-No for these so-called “strict constructionists”, but then there’s nothing new about them going against their own supposed “legal philosophy” when an ultraconservative ideology needs to be confirmed - [...]

Just sorting out some technical problems at technorati. Thanks for your understanding. HEY! Ruby, where’s that cute little construction sign thingy from 15 years ago? You know, the one everyone put on their Geocities homepage while they were looking for clever another grapevine border design? We need a little [...]

As if we needed one more reason to love San Francisco, they may soon offer the chance to shit on the man who’s been shitting on us the past seven years:

Unfreakingbelievable.

Is there no end to it? Those who, just a couple of years ago, seemed to be the most paranoid of the far left are turning out not to be paranoid at all, but actually prescient. One by one, the parade of Bush administration crimes are coming to light. The sheer extent [...]

I’ve never been able to muster much good feeling for the slimy, hateful puppy-beating, possibly pedophilic reprobate, but if he’s going to encourage his addlepated followers not to vote for John McCain and, in fact, not to vote at all for either candidate for President in November, that’s a James Dobson that works for me.

Why would any country that drinks so much have occasion to rack up frequent flier miles on an enema squirchy thing in the first place, much less enough to inspire a monument to it????????

MOSCOW - A monument to the enema, a procedure many people would rather not think about, has been unveiled at a spa [...]

The millions of us who hoped Al Gore would run this year have gradually winnowed down. Some of us believed it the first time he said, “No.” Others needed a second, third or fourth denial. A large wave went to Edwards and then on to Obama. But there are a few [...]
