Inhofe Has Got to Go!!!

"I have been called -- my kids are all aware of this -- dumb, crazy man, science abuser, Holocaust denier, villain of the month, hate-filled, warmonger, Neanderthal, Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun, and I can just tell you that I wear some of those titles proudly."
Senator James Inhofe, March 3, 2007

This post introduces readers to a fabulous new web site:
LayOffInhofe.com
Jim Inhofe: Uncaring, Unethical, and...Our Senator?

Here is the introduction taken directly from the web site:
"The goal of this website is, first and foremost, to demonstrate the failings of Sen. James Inhofe as a representative of the people of Oklahoma. You will see, mostly through known facts and his own words, that as a senator, James Inhofe is unkind, unethical, and simply not right for Oklahoma. Whether you are a student trying to pay for college, a person working for an honest days wage to provide for your family, or a senior attempting to enjoy your retirement, Jim Inhofe is not working for you."

Here is one of Mr. Inhofe's more embarrassing public statements:
"As you see here, and I think this is maybe the most important prop we’ll have during the entire debate, my wife and I have been married 47 years. We have 20 kids and grandkids. I'm really proud to say that in the recorded history of our family, we've never had a divorce or any kind of homosexual relationship."
Jim Inhofe on the Senate Floor, June 8, 2006

Need any more evidence that Inhofe is a dangerous, wrong-headed politician? Check this out:

What can you do to help send this despicable character back to pasture in Oklahoma where he can pass his final days? You can support - financially, publicly, and proudly - Andrew Rice's campaign for the Senate seat now being held by Inhofe. Please visit Mr. Rice's web site and get behind a person who will act in Oklahoma's best interest and will truly represent you and your concerns in Washington D.C.

Quote of Week (05/10/09)

"In some way, the quiet terror of severe depression never entirely passes once you’ve experienced it. It hovers behind the scenes, placated temporarily by medication and renewed energy, waiting to slither back in, unnoticed by others. It sits in the space behind your eyes, making its presence felt even in those moments when other, lighter matters are at the forefront of your mind. It tugs at you, keeping you from ever being fully at ease. Worst of all, it honors no season and respects no calendar; it arrives precisely when it feels like it."
Daphne Merkin, NYTimes Magazine, May 6, 2009

Quote of the Week (04/26/09)

"Five years after the Abu Ghraib revelations, we must acknowledge that our government methodically authorized torture and lied about it. But we also must contemplate the possibility that it did so not just out of a sincere, if criminally misguided, desire to “protect” us but also to promote an unnecessary and catastrophic war. Instead of saving us from 'another 9/11,' torture was a tool in the campaign to falsify and exploit 9/11 so that fearful Americans would be bamboozled into a mission that had nothing to do with Al Qaeda. The lying about Iraq remains the original sin from which flows much of the Bush White House’s illegality."
Frank Rich, NYTimes, April 26, 2009

Quote of Week (02/27/09)

"Throughout America’s history, there have been some years that appeared to roll into the next without much notice or fanfare. Budgets are proposed that offer some new programs or eliminate an initiative, but by and large continuity reigns.
Then there are the years that come along once in a generation, when we look at where the country has been and recognize that we need a break from a troubled past, that the problems we face demand that we begin charting a new path. This is one of those years."
President Barack Obama, The White House, February 26, 2009

Another Good Quote (10/23/08)

"I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want alot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. 'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks. 'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?' To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

Quote of the Week (04/18/08)

"Senator Obama, in my view, is head and shoulders above the rest. He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next President. He speaks to the America I've envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems, a country that's interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit. A place where '...nobody crowds you, and nobody goes it alone.'"
