While Alaska Freezes, Palin Plays The Fiddle
Sara Plain and Simple is a bigger news whore than Paris Hilton ever was. There’s been much Sarah-gazing lately (most of which has been generated by Palin herself), all of which is eerily similar to the Britney Spears suicide watch we were on a year or so ago. Go to I Eat Gravel to get […]
Memories of Bush II
Remember when Bush came to Delaware and visited with biofuel researchers at Dupont, commenting, “They have a lot of smart scientists.” Good times. Good Times. BTW- Live blog the Bush adios tonight? If so one of the grown ups will have to turn it on. LGeek once showed me how to do it, but he […]
California Budgeting With Morons
You can’t have a 2/3rds requirement to pass a budget when Republicans are childlike half-wits who think government is bad and taxes are evil. As long as “Republican” means “I’m a moron,”it simply can’t work. h/t eschaton
Summary of the Stimulus Plan
Democrats released a summary of the stimulus plan this AM (link takes you to Talking Points Memo who reproduce the entire document). The basics: $550B in spending and $275B in tax cuts. See a brief summary (taken directly from the Plan) after the jump, and tell us what you think.
The Cold Song Chronicles
Everyone who reads this blog knows how we love our closeted Republican and Evangelical leaders. Well, Bessemer Opinions (AL) sheds new light the case of Ted Haggard, the gay christian hypocrite who recently completed gay rehab. (I won’t even go into how ridiculous that is). In the article linked above we learn that Haggard confessed […]
The World is Watching Appreciatively
For the past 8 years, when I have travelled outside of the US, people have treated me differently. I have gotten this feeling that they understand that it wasn’t me that put Bush in the White House, but nonetheless, how could that have happened? On some level, they got it. Germany certainly has had their […]
So Long, Farewell, Don’t Let the Door…
Bush gives his farewell address tonight. Will you watch? Of course, I’ll watch – if only for priceless blogging material.
High Five a Blind Guy and Other Stories
Watch Ryan Seacrest try to high-five a blind guy. Hat tip to Ryan Cormier’s post Fail of the Day for the video from Pulp Culture (DE). Left in the West (MT) writes about the Radical Right’s fight against the Estate Tax: From where I’m sitting the Obama proposal – a 45% rate for estates of […]
Late Nite Oddity: The Late Show Edition
Past my bedtime, but Dave Letterman has a public service mission… “Get To Know Delaware,” home of Senator Joe Biden. Art Card/music: “Get To Know Delaware.” Announce: “Historic tourist attractions, such as Independence Hall and the Franklin Institute, and breathtaking natural attractions, such as the Allegheny National Forest . . . . can be found […]
Low Bar For Biden VP Success
All he has to do is not lie his ass off every time he opens his mouth and Biden will be a huge improvement over our current VP. Q: But Mr. Vice President, getting from there to here, 4,500 Americans have died, at least 100,000 Iraqis have died. Has it been worth that? CHENEY: I think so. […]
Memories of Bush
Remember when Bush picked this totally unqualified courtesan to be on the Supreme Court? She would have made it onto the court too, but conservatives didn’t like her. Good times. Good times.
