Colbert Rally!

I've been following this the past few days at http://www.colbertrally.com/, but this DC blog  pretty much sums it up! This is the perfect cause, raising nearly $250,000 in less than a week for schools across America. It's not getting coverage, but it should! Check it out!

Promises Promises

Blatantly ripping off of another blog here but apparently:

PolitiFact.com has diligently kept track of what this president has done and not done. By their count Obama has currently kept 121 promises. He’s compromised on 39 and broken 22. Currently, 81 are stalled, and 240 are in the works. According to their calculations he’s kept way over five times more promises than he’s broken.

Usually I'd say that 22 broken promises are 22 too many. But in the case of a presidency, I'm not going to expect some one to realistically keep 100% of his promises. Despite what we think, presidents are not all-powerful-omnipotent beings who are not constrained by political, cultural, and environmental factors. Like everyone else, they do what they can with what they can.

AZ Pride...ok not really

Watch governor Jan Brewer stumble through her opening in her recent debate v. Democratic opponent Terry Goddard.

Apparently she also believes that illegal immigrants are beheading people left and right in Arizona.

All the while inmate are being slowly cooked to death in Arizona prisons, with no repercussions.

While the sources may be biased (haven't done research on TPM), just take a look at the videos. If that kind of weak performance is tolerated from the highest elected official in the state government, I'm afraid we're simply voting for incompetence. I'd rather have an intelligent person I ideologically disagree with in office than someone who cannot prepare a 30 second opening for a debate. How can she possibly manage a state?
