Filed in National by on November 26, 2008 3 Comments

First — read this: Feast of the Wingnuts (How economic crackpots devoured American politics.) This is a great article (teasing Chait’s book on the same subject) from about a year ago — it is sorta long, but stick with it. Here’s some of the intro: American politics has been hijacked by a tiny coterie of […]

Ready To Roll (?)

I hope John Carney is as eager to fight as his supporter. Delawonk is one pissed off dude.  He has registered www.nobeau.com, has called Minner a “Cow”  and basically seems to be spoiling for a fight. Meanwhile, Carney’s biggest failing is that he has not been a fighter.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or0eZYbvHiU[/youtube]This seems like a hell of a time to alleviate concerns about money…. Obama made the announcement Wednesday in Chicago at a morning news conference in which he tried to reassure Americans that “help is on the way” for the economy. “I was elected with the charge of getting this economy back in shape,” Obama […]

It defies all political logic, especially in this […]
