…And Newt Gingrich Rises to Front-Runner Status
With all the madness and childish incomprehensibility that has defined the Republican presidential nomination race thus far, it should have been accepted as inevitable that Newt Gingrich would one day attain front-runner status. Today, we have entered into this disturbing reality: The Republican presidential race is being shaken up again, with Mitt Romney retaking the lead, [...]
How The Grinch Stole Veterans Day
This guy probably would have voted against the G.I. Bill had he had the chance: Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) distinguished himself Thursday as the only senator to oppose a measure aimed at hiring veterans, calling it a “trick” by the Obama administration and Democrats. He knew his decision wouldn’t be popular, but still cast the [...]
Greed is Good
Congressional Republicans are getting more audacious as each day goes by: Republicans proposed cutting the U.S. deficit with a tax overhaul to yield about $300 billion and by raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67, said aides familiar with a congressional supercommittee’s talks. Republicans, who until now opposed new tax revenue in any deficit plan, [...]
The Disappearance of the Filibuster
I chose this false statement as the title of my post because, while the usage of the Filibuster in Congress has reached historic levels never seen before, the reporting of its usage by the media has dramatically dwindled. To give you an example from today, James Fallows at the Atlantic explains how even “leading” political publications have [...]

We Scam Gold
The problem with selling the apocalypse is that when it never happens, the sham is over. Such is the case of Goldline International, a company that has for the past few years stoked the fears of economic catastrophe in order to sell massive amounts of gold to everybody and their mothers. With a marketing strategy of [...]
The Do-Nothing Congress Does Something… That’s Already Been Done!
Greg Sargent at the Washington Post wrote a great summary today on the House Republicans frivolous insistence that the most important and pressing issue congress must vote on is reaffirming that “In God We Trust” be our national motto: Here’s how this works, whether it’s in the case of today’s vote or in the case of [...]
Perhaps they should leave office
Politico (10/26/2011): Sen. Lindsey Graham is so embarrassed about the 9 percent approval rating — released Tuesday night in a New York Times/CBS poll — that he’s going incognito. “It’s so bad sometimes I tell people I’m a lawyer,” the South Carolina Republican told POLITICO on Wednesday. “I don’t want to be associated with a [...]
Herman Cain’s “Opportunity Zones”
While the media has been giving a considerable amount of scrutiny to Herman Cain’s nonsensical online-only campaign video this week, not much attention has been given to the newly released addition of his 9-9-9 plan that would create Third Reich-esque ghettos “opportunity zones” for people living below the poverty line. How unfortunate that this is [...]
