Stay Away From Public Restrooms and Republicans
Posted: August 31st, 2007, 1:34pm CDT by dave
We begin with the most unfortunate opening line in an “I’m not gay” speech ever… But what’s lost in the story - and in all stories of this type - is the issue: the problem isn’t that he’s gay, it’s that he’s a pervert! The same with Jeff Gannon, the gay prostitute who posed as a [...] -
Anti-Immigration Protestors Show Their True Colors
Posted: August 29th, 2007, 1:01am CDT by dave
If you’ve been around Omaha for the last couple of years, you may have noticed the protestors that show up every so often in front of the Consulado de Mexico on 36th and Dodge St. Their thinly-veiled racism, however, is no match for the atrocious display of racism that is coming this weekend: The National Socialist [...] -

Kerrey placed a conference call to New School University trustees in New York City to inform them he may be returning to Nebraska. A decision on whether to return to his roots and attempt to once again represent Nebraska [...] -

Bruning Screws Over College Students
Posted: August 9th, 2007, 2:01pm CDT by dave
Kyle puts the pieces together on Nelnet and our Attorney General, Jon Bruning. But while the focus is on taxpayers, it’s a sad and troubling thing that - once again - the needs of students are completely ignored by our government. Not that we should be surprised - Bruning has taken $16,000 in contributions from Nelnet [...] -
Exciting News!
Posted: August 6th, 2007, 4:48pm CDT by dave
Kyle Michaelis at the New Nebraska Network has just launched NNN 2.0, a community based blog with user diaries (like those used at Kos and MyDD). It’s an exciting new step for the online progressive movement in Nebraska, and I encourage everyone to check it out and join in the discussion. Also, don’t worry - the [...] -
“Terry Lee” Almost Suffers Beatdown
Posted: August 6th, 2007, 4:39pm CDT by dave
Oh, how sorry I am that I missed this one… Apparently, Lee Terry decided to pick a fight with Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. after hearing shouts come from his direction on the House Floor. Now, Terry’s never been the brightest Representative, but falsely accusing a kung fu master (seriously) of instigating a fight is probably not [...] -

First of all, congratulations to Scott and Jane Kleeb on their new baby daughter! There’s only so many times I can rehash the same old speculation about Chuck Hagel, but I’m more than happy to link to others’ speculation, so here you go: Real Clear Politics not much new here, but still an interesting read. Bob Novak (Douchebag [...] -
