Just Sayin’
The GOP sold my email address to American Family Association leader and creationist Rev. Donald Wildmon. I know it was them because the only wingnut email I have ever signed up for is the GOP’s.
Wow, Just Wow
President Obama in Fort Myers: “I expect to be judged by results. I’m not going to make any excuses. If stuff hasn’t worked and people don’t feel like I’ve led the country in the right direction, then you’ll have a new president.” Accountability and Leadership.

The Original Gangster
for those of you that missed the Ball a few weeks back, you also missed Baby Sqyuishy Viti’s night on the town. I’m pretty sure he would have gotten some action if his mom wasn’t around…

He also recycles a joke that I haven’t heard since the annual Deconstruction Wars at a bookgroup I was addicted to: What do you get when you cross a Godfather with a deconstructionist? Someone who makes you […]

UPDATED: Pointless, But What The Heck
UPDATE per Atrios: It’s smaller, but it looks like they’re adding at least some of the smart stuff (school funds, state aid) and taking out at least a bit of the dumb stuff (at least reducing tax breaks for home and car purchases). So save your dime. So Senate has passed its version of the […]
