Not Quite Yet Masterin’ the Photo-Op, You Know

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 22nd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Remarkable!
Sister Sarah prattles non-stop for 4 minutes, oblivious to what’s going on behind her.
And Mr. Turkey Butcher?  He appears to love him some Gov!
WARNING: This is the uncensored version of Gov. Palin’s turkey of a turkey slaughter photo-op.  Vegans may want to leave the room now…

Tofurkey, anyone? Anyone?
      



Livin’ At-Large or Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 21st, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A fortnightly rant FL-S style, with an extra heapin’ helpin’ of FD&C #40.  Yummy.
I’ve been preparing all week for this fortnightly rant.  I’ve been obsessed with finding a way to connect two disparate world events separated by 30 years.
One event, on November 18, 1978, centered on charismatic radical cultist Jim Jones, the planned mass-suicide by him and his 909 followers in a Guyanian jungle, and the murder of a […]



Say Goodnight, Arbusto

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s hard to believe that in just 63 days, an actual grownup will be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. 
Say goodbye to Daily Bushisms.   Say hello to…COMPLETE SENTENCES.
Join Fred2Blue as we take a look back at George W. Bush in pictures (h/t London Telegraph)

OKAY.  THAT’S ENOUGH

Well, thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of […]



Keep Sending in Those Fred2Blue Birthday Greetings!

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 18th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The Fred2Blue birthday greetings keep coming in!
This will be the first time I mention the Fred2Blue blog – and no, that’s not a good thing.
– The Right-wing Liberal
Awww!  Cranky are we?  Didn’t have our nappy?  He must still be mad because at daycare today we grabbed his binkie and we won’t give it back!
Damn nanny state!

Fred2Blue Turns 1!

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 18th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Today, after 77,000 unique page views of nearly 700 posts and 1,700 reader comments, Fred2Blue turns a cranky 1 year old.  
Pretty, pretty good…pretty good for a third-rate local political blog no one ever bothers to read.
So, to our friends and our sworn enemies;
To the news, photo, and editorial departments of the FL-S (we love you long time.);
To […]



Sarah Palin and the Holy Grail

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 12th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Who so pulleth the sword from the stone and anvil is rightwise born the king of England U.S. Senator from Alaska President of the United States…
According to today’s Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News, Miss Wasilla said, of the possibility of anointing herself appointing herself U.S. Senator in the event convicted felon Ted Stevens eeks out a re-election victory:

Tammy Duckworth for…

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 12th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

We were bummed in 2006 when Iraq War vet Tammy Duckworth lost her bid to represent Illinois’ 6th District in Congress.  
Soon after her defeat, Major Duckworth was appointed the Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, a position she still serves. 
Duckworth has been a vocal critic of the Bush Administration for its pitiful provision of care to […]



Rantless

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 8th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Spotsylvania, Stafford

A fortnightly rant, FL-S style:
This every-other-weekend “rant” is the forum I use to vent my spleen.  And really in the past 12 months, there has been a lot for me to vent about.
But not this weekend. 
Like a many of you, I am exhausted – plum tuckered out – from the Week That Was.  There’s not one bit of rant […]



Laurie Williams Revisits: A Puppy for the Obamas

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Nov 7th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

UPDATE: At his first news conference today in Chicago, President-elect Obama said that the family is dealing with two important criteria: getting a hypo-allergenic dog (Malia has asthma) versus a rescued dog (”a mutt like me”).  We would suggest that President-elect Obama’s personal staff immediately contact the New York SPCA; a few weeks ago, the NYPost […]
