George H. W. Bush survived reports of his imminent death and even one premature obit from Der Spiegel. Of course, he’s tough. If his son’s presidency didn’t finish him off, nothing will.
John Boehner’s calculations in the final days of the 112th Congress qualify him to be a Mayan calendar writer.
Watch Alex Jones defend “guns” without distinguishing between the killing capacity of a derringer and an AK-47. Then remember that the Texas Republican Party’s platform opposes the teaching of critical thinking in schools.

Eric Cantor continues to be an incredible dick.
Ahhhhhhh…..Sanity’s back.
I thought the late lamented KPOJ progressive talk radio had some great on-air personalities, but the show I missed the most was Carl’s. Now that it is back in all it’s glory, we have to see that we keep him “on the air” It’s our bulletin board, townhall, back fence, all rolled into one great community service. I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that Carl’s show is worth several percentage points of votes to Democratic candidates in Oregon….
Oh Carl, we have all missed your wit, sharp tongue and liberal light. Glad to have you back!
Give’em jhell.
So happy that progressive thought will have a voice in Oregon once again. And will we have Randi Rhodes and Thom Hartman back as well? I’ve missed all of you.
Carl It is a joy to know that the Sun will once more shine ,and reveal the blight that has effected our representatives in Washington DC;with you we will once more hear the true facts,and like anything that is true your voice will persevere, circle the globe ,and force the vermin we have in our Congress out into the open exposing them for just what they are…Give Them Hell!

when i was a mere boy i shook hands with sen. proxmire of wisconsin at the state fairgrounds in west allis. my father took me to one auto race every year there. meeting a real live senator at around age 10 was a life changing experience, and made me realize that voting does matter. my parents always took us with them to the polling place, a local fire station. we waited patiently inside the car, all 6 of us, while mom and dad did something very important. they were pro-union democrats, my mother a real economic liberal, who never attended college. only my late mother was a high school graduate. “vote, even if you don’t like them very much”, she would say. dad, an 88 year old WWII vet is still alive and well.

Loved “Things We Have Learned In The Last Few Weeks”. Humorous & to the point (a very good sharp point). Will be glad to have your show back, Carl, although in different format. I still want Progressive Talk Radio KPOJ back, though. Why wouldn’t advertisers want access to about 20,000 people (quantity who signed petitions to get KPOJ back on air)??? Clear Channel definitely didn’t try to keep Progressive Talk Radio on KPOJ.
