He’s vexed. Two weeks of making nice, public mea culpa over Daschle and he’s done walking with a scotch-taped ‘Kick Me’ sign on his back. He came to Capitol Hill with flowers, they voted unanimously against him. Like the Grinch’s heart, his spine grew three sizes yesterday. President Barack Obama reminded the bloviating Rush Limbaugh, [...]

Your campaign of fear and hate? It didn’t work. Your attempts to portray our next President as a “lying Muslim socialist with no experience who hates our flag and Constitution and what this country was founded on.” It will put you further on the fringe than you already are. I’m really just sick [...]

The Republican Party in Ohio lost a battle it took all the way to the US Supreme Court to [...]

About The UKProgressive
UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'
We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.

UK Progressive is a free service. I cringe every time I hear a pbs, truthout or npr never-ending appeal for money. They make much more than we do. We're not your mother, we'll skip the guilt trip.
