politics bloggingYou may have noticed that blogging inspiration has been limited here lately, and that in particular there has been very little about the big legislative issues (bankruptcy changes, failure to raise minimum wage, etc.) that have been in the news.

I don't mean to be flippant about it. When you vote for Republicans, you get legislative and executive actions that favor the interests of the rich and corporate over the interests of the non-rich, more so than when you vote for Democrats.
Well, you can see what kind of mood I'm in.

Bankruptcy *could have been* a very good stark black-and-white divide between what Democrats believe and what Republicans believe. Instead, Al From believes in big business. And this tactic is supposed to make Democrats more ELECTABLE?

Blogosphere outrage over Senate Democrats’ complicity in the bankruptcy bill is already on display; witness: Daily Kos, Atrios, MaxSpeak, Yglesias. Now, as action looks to be shifting to the House, complaints are starting to come in about the letter ... [Read More]
