Dear Dianne: Stop Insulting America’s Sixth Graders

by Eileen | 11:30 am, March 18, 2013

And, while you’re at it, go f*** yourself with an extended magazine. You bilious old moose. Oh, Dianne Feinstein, America’s precious little child, she who gets more and more thin skinned with each passing term in the Senate. Dianne epitomizes that breed who go into a field known for being markedly insensitive to feelings and [...]

It’s Been a Weird Day in a Good Way: Two Court Rulings Represent Hope for Privacy

by Eileen | 7:06 pm, March 15, 2013

In one day, two major court decisions have put Executive overreach on the defensive and given civil liberty advocates momentum. In California, a federal judge held that National Security Letters, with their built-in gag orders, are unconstitutional. (Decision, here.) Meanwhile, federal courts also reinstated an ACLU lawsuit challenging the CIA’s ‘Glomar’ response of targeted drone [...]

First Thoughts on the Freshly Dead SB 1226

by Eileen | 5:45 pm, March 15, 2013

At PPC, we are just fascinated by the far left.  It’s a macabre fascination, but still, we never tire for long of watching and discussing proggie behavior. And we do try to understand how the moonbats interpret the world around them and how they construct their arguments.  This is actually a worthy hobby for any [...]

CRS Reports – Food for Wonks – Need to be Freely Available

by Eileen | 5:46 am, March 9, 2013

A few days ago, I’d never heard of either Leonard Lance (R-NJ) or Mike Quigley (D-IL).  However, now I intend to send them both muffin baskets and PPC pins. The two Representatives are sponsoring “Public Access to Congressional Research Service Reports Resolution of 2013“, a Congressional Resolution that would make CRS reports available freely and [...]

Security Theater Sets a Dangerous New Norm in Air Travel

by Eileen | 10:59 pm, March 8, 2013

Recently, is a rare, nay, unprecedented, display of good sense, the TSA announced that, as of April 25, 2013, small knives will again be allowed in carry-on baggage. To date, 9,300 people have signed a petition, sponsored by airline workers unions, to overturn that.  In part, the petition language reads: Our nation’s aviation system is [...]

This Could be Promising

by Eileen | 5:00 pm, March 7, 2013

I’ve already tossed up a longer post about what’s so very wrong with GOP dinosaurs getting their panties all twisted about yesterday’s filibuster. But here are two hopeful signs. 1. During the filibuster, RNC Chair Reince Preibus publicly urged all Republican members to go to the Senate floor and “help out” 2. Senate Minority Leader [...]

In Which Eric Holder Takes Care of His Correspondence Whilst Mssrs Graham and McCain Pursue Political Hari-Kari

by Eileen | 4:44 pm, March 7, 2013

And, on that note, may hordes of angry voters wing you to irrelevance and powerlessness: John, Lindsey, you have brought shame on your office and neither of you is fit to serve the Americans – and that is the official editorial position of the Peoples Press Collective. Rand Paul, meanwhile, has a lifetime honorary membership [...]

Ryan Call and His Speeding Ticket Collection are the Least of the State Party’s Woes

by Eileen | 1:43 pm, March 7, 2013

PPC Contributor Bob Adelmann has an interesting article on just why the never-before-reported news of re-elected State GOP Chair Ryan Call’s arrest came out on the eve of his re-election. I think Bob offers an interesting take, but I think there are several other plausible reasons for the odd timing.  Relying on comments from John [...]

Evie Hudak Cited a Bad Statistic from a Biased, Fifteen-Year-Old Study. But it Gets Even Worse

by Eileen | 8:56 am, March 7, 2013

Evie Hudak’s ammunition in trying to shame a rape victim was a substantially incorrectly cited ‘fact’ from a study that is itself fifteen years old. Gosh, and to think we right-wing gun nuts are scared of all those powerful researchers and analysts supporting the lefties. The study in question is itself a fine example of [...]

Look Who Shot Herself in the Foot! (Hint, It’s Evie Hudak)

by Eileen | 12:52 am, March 7, 2013

The Denver Post dug up the numbers Evie Hudak was relying on when she made her atrocious criticism of a rape victim who was testifying before the legislature. In short, it’s a 15-year-old study and the actual statistic Hudak alluded to is nowhere to be found in the study. Because it apparently struck her as [...]
