Zero is an Easy Number to Remember
At a time when Americans are looking to their government to do something, doing nothing strikes me as political suicide. And that’s exactly what Republicans did yesterday – Nothing.

Today in the BBC
Cold War Nostalgia The good thing about the cold war was that with wingnut pissing their pants over the Russian bear, they didn’t spend all day trying to contrive reasons to attack random middle eastern countries and drive our economy off a cliff. Irresponsible, US? In other news that the US media does not know […]
DE GOPers Start Getting Their Hate On
Earlier in the week, I sent a note off to the Lt. Governor regarding my concerns about eminent domain which was ready to go to the Senate floor. Lt. Gov.

Hundreds of billions spent on a six year war in a foreign country have not provided much economic benefit here at home. […]
Hube’s Stupidity A-Go-Go
You can’t call it a blog can you? Hube breathless reports that the hated ACORN is getting economic recovery act money. E-GAds! Get me to my fainting couch. In fact, the bill does not mention ACORN. It allocates $4.19 billion in “neighborhood stabilization activities” to be distributed through competitive processes. Facts? Immaterial. Hube is just […]
