Rep. Tom Foley (D-WA)

by Darryl — Friday, 10/18/13, 1:29 pm

Former Rep. Tom Foley (D), who represented Eastern Washington from 1965 to 1995, has died at 84 from complications of a stroke.

Rep. Foley, a Spokane native, was the 57th Speaker of the House, serving from 1989 to 1995.

When I think of Speaker Foley, the word “Statesman” comes to mind. The NY Times puts it this way:

When he became speaker on June 6, 1989, Mr. Foley, from Washington State, appealed to “our friends on the Republican side to come together and put away bitterness and division and hostility.” He promised to treat “each and every member” fairly, regardless of party, and by most estimations he lived up to that promise to a degree unmatched by his successors.

By contrast, Speaker Boehner (R-OH) is a shameless partisan, acting more as a majority leader than a Speaker of the House…and frequently acting in the interest of his Party to the detriment of our nation. In my recent letter to Boehner, I reminded him that…

…you are the Speaker of the HOUSE, not the Speaker of the Republican Party. As second in line for the presidency, I expect you to show careful stewardship of our nation.

Indeed, Foley was the very archetype behind my words:

Despite sharp differences on issues, he got along better with members of the other party than any of the speakers who followed him. In that final news conference, asked to offer advice to the next speaker, Mr. Gingrich, he urged him to remember, “You are the speaker of the whole House and not just one party.”

We need more Tom Foley’s in Congress.

Crazier now? Or in the 90s.

by Darryl — Friday, 10/11/13, 5:14 pm

Last night I was having dinner with my friend Dave. We started exploring the question of whether the House Republicans were crazier when Clinton was Prez or now. Remember how totally outrageous the House was under the Newtster? They shut down the government…twice. And then they decided to impeach the President, essentially, for getting a blow job. The two charges that passed along party lines in the House was easily dismissed by the Senate.

There was a kind of zealotry in that bunch of Republicans that parallels what we see today. They share a collective tone-deafness that has caused House Republicans—then and now—to unwittingly undertake extreme actions that Americans disagree with.

Both then and now, there was a zealotry that was borne out of hatred for the Democratic President. But here is a difference I see between then and now. Republicans seemed angrier, but less crazy in their zealotry back then. Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were angry and cynical men, who sometimes said outrageous things to make a point—but a point that had some connection to reality. The current crop of Republicans are expressing zealotry borne out of a much bigger dose of madness. It seems many in the current crop have been brainwashed into believing things that are at odds with facts, with reality (Kenya!, Obama Muslim conspiracy!, cutting taxes raises revenue, Obamacare kills!, etc.).

Michele Bachmann and Louie Gohmert seem to really believe the crazy-ass shit they say. They live in a largely self-constructed universe.

In some cases it seems the hatred observed of both groups is confounded in the current crop by racial hatred. It has driven some House Republicans to insanity.

So what do you think? Were they crazier in the crazy House days of the Clinton Administration? Has Obama derangement syndrome pushed today’s G.O.P. further off the cliff of sanity? Or was the Newt-pack just as bad?

All we want is an “up or down vote!”

by Darryl — Thursday, 10/3/13, 4:10 pm

Note: You may remember the Republicans riffing on the “all we want is an Up or Down vote!” when Democrats were threatening filibusters over some of George W. Bush’s nominees. It’s time to let them hear those words again. Please take a few minutes to send your own message to Speaker Boehner here.

Dear Speaker Boehner,

Must I remind you that you are the Speaker of the HOUSE, not the Speaker of the Republican Party. As second in line for the presidency, I expect you to show careful stewardship of our nation.

You’ve failed. You’ve failed to uphold your oath of office. You, and the band of terrorists that control you, are now engaging in treasonous acts of sabotage against the U.S. (I remind you that you are not immune from prosecution for Treason under Article I, section 6 of the Constitution.)

I demand that you stop your collusion with the terrorists. Put a CLEAN continuing resolution up for a vote IMMEDIATELY.

All Americans want is an up or down vote on a clean resolution. Call it the “Constitutional option”, an up or down vote put before House members. This is what the Speaker of the House is obligated to do.

Up or down vote!

Do it!

Breaking: Terrorist attack on Washington D.C.

by Darryl — Monday, 9/30/13, 9:20 pm

An anti-American terrorist group struck down the U.S. Government early Tuesday morning. The Government is now shut down for an indeterminate period that could last from mere hours to, perhaps, weeks.

The terrorists, who go by the name Republicans, have no known ties to al Qaeda but share a similar hatred of the U.S. Government and, apparently, share similar ambitions of shutting down and ultimately destroying the U.S. Government. The Republican’s methods of terrorism resemble those of al Qaeda in conducting hostage taking, demanding ransoms and, in the extreme, engaging in suicide missions. Unlike the individual suicide missions of al Qaeda operatives, however, Republican terrorists commit suicide as a group.

A full assessment of the damage to the U.S. Government brought on by the Republican terrorists actions is still underway. Sadly, the terrorist attacks will negatively impact millions of Americans every day until the U.S. Government can be restored to operational status.

Informed observers believe the U.S. Government will eventually make a full recovery, but likely with fewer Republican terrorists.

The Muslims are coming!

by Darryl — Wednesday, 9/11/13, 10:41 pm

It’s September 11th, so I guess this is as good a time as any to let you know that The Muslims are Coming!

And they want you to die!

Ummm…I mean, they want you to die laughing. You know…figuratively.

Here’s the deal:

The Muslims Are Coming! is an independent comedy film that hits back against Islamophobia. It will be in Seattle theaters for a one week run starting tomorrow (Friday).

Here is the blurb:

A group of Muslim-American standup comedians go on the road counter Islamophobia using the only weapon they have: jokes. The Muslims Are Coming! follows these comics as they visit big cities, rural villages, and everything in between to do shows, meet locals, and counter the haters. Commentary from pop culture icons like the Daily Show’s Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow, Janeane Garofalo, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, David Cross, and Lewis Black pepper the film as the comedians travel through middle America. Will audiences laugh? Will they make a difference? Will they make it back? Rest assured, you’ve never laughed this hard at a Muslim!

And here is the trailer:

The film is playing at the Grand Illusion Cinema. Tickets are available here.
