The Best Laid Plans Of Men and Mice…and God? Posted 11 Jan 2010 under Lipstick on a Pig, Religious Right / Extremists, Republican Clown Show
It’s a good thing that God plays such an active role in Republican politics. Here he is, putting Sarah Palin forward as their vice-presidential candidate in 2008: Sarah Palin believed that Sen. John McCain chose her to be his running mate in 2008 because of “God’s plan,” according to a top political strategist in the Arizona Republican’s [...]

You Might Be A Pinko Atheist Posted 04 Jan 2010 under Bush Man Date, Cheney, Obama Uber Alles, Religious Right / Extremists, Republican Clown Show, War on Terror
At times like New Year’s Day, do you find yourself wondering, as you take stock of your life, whether you are a member of what no less a political thinker than Newt Gingrich calls the “secular-socialist left”? Here, in the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy, is an introspection guide. (Or, if you will, a litmus test [...]

Calling Out Republicans For Hypocrisy Posted 28 Dec 2009 under Economy, Health Care, Media, Republican Clown Show
In the time of Bush, Republicans were recklessly profligate with new spending, and blithely unconcerned with financing that spending. That’s why one of the most enduring footprints Bush left for posterity as he trampled the economy is the slew of records he set with the national debt. Records like “Largest increase in a [...]

A Tale Of Two Republicans Posted 09 Nov 2009 under Health Care
Representative Ahn “Joseph” Cao of Louisiana has several times before threatened to defect from the Republican party line on important votes, only to allow himself to be bullied, browbeaten or bribed into the blind obedience that Republican party leaders insist on (and obviously do a pretty good job of enforcing). In the past, though, [...]

It’s Really Not His Fault Posted 06 Nov 2009 under Full of Sound and Fury, The Dick Army
(1) Jon Voight, speaking at Michele Bachmann’s Whites-of-their-eyes Kill-the-bill rally yesterday: His only success in his one-year term as president is taking America apart, piece by piece. Could it be he has had 20 years of subconscious programming by Rev. Wright to damn America? Don’t blame Voight, though, for the nonsense he emits. We have it [...]

Leadership Posted 23 Oct 2009 under Bad Dems, Health Care, Obama Uber Alles
(1) This was the overnight news from the sausage factory: In pushing to include a government-run health insurance plan in the health care bill, the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, is taking a calculated gamble that the 60 members of his caucus could support the plan if it included a way for states to opt out. Mr. Reid [...]

IOKIYAD? Posted 06 Oct 2009 under Bad Dems
Sirota: It is what you don’t hear that, more than anything, tells you the American Left does not really exist (or is, at minimum, absolutely FUBAR). And one of those deafening silences just happened. Two weeks ago, the Massachusetts legislature did not merely make a mockery of election law by going back and forth and then back [...]

Grijalva Hits Baucus and Obama, Remains Firm on Public Option – TPMDC (9/28/09): In a new op-ed, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus blasts the proposal written by Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) saying it’s “all about the insurance industry’s bottom line: no teeth in enforcements and regulations, endless patent hoarding for the [...]

Cleared Up Nicely Posted 29 Sep 2009 under Religious Right / Extremists, Republican Clown Show
Perhaps you too have been confused by how Obama’s thoughtful critics on the right (and not just the extreme right, either) can accuse him simultaneously of being a Nazi and a Communist? The brilliant and thoughtful conservative speaker Kitty Werthmann appeared at the How To Take Back America Conference over the weekend, evidently just to [...]

Finance Committee Fun And Games Posted 25 Sep 2009 under Health Care
Yesterday, Senator John Rockefeller gave himself the pleasure of sticking it to Senator John Cornyn as very few Senators have had it stuck to them (nullus) in the Senate before. This was Senator Rockefeller’s response to an amendment offered by Senator Cornyn (which sought to add caveats to the employer mandate): ROCKEFELLER: This is a [...]
