The Stickup Note

Filed in National by on March 2, 2009 19 Comments

On Friday, NPR aired a longish segment (almost 8 minutes) of reporting on bank bailouts via a research note set out by a Deutsche Bank economist: A single piece of paper may just be one of the most surprising and illuminating documents of the whole banking crisis. It’s a one-page research note from an economist […]

GOP Meltdown Prediction Thread

Here is my prediction: Within a year from now Rush Limbaugh is going to have Steele fired as the head of the RNC and will replace him with Joe the Plumber or that 13 year old conservative duffus. Nemski writes: LOL, Jason, this just came in over the wire. Here’s a clip of the Grand […]

Sixty Minutes Likes Their PBJ

Filed in National by on March 2, 2009 3 Comments

Apparently, Gov. Bobby Jindal was on 60 Minutes the other night and I missed it, though I highly doubt I would have watched even I knew he was going to be on. Turns out my no decision was the right decision as Louisiana’s Your Right Hand Thief blogs. Anyway, 60 Minutes had a celebrate-the-biography approach […]

Schadenfreude Alert: Blackwater CEO Resigns

Filed in National by on March 2, 2009 8 Comments

Some job losses sting a little less than others. Seeing a company that exported hired mercenaries and assassins flounder does not make ‘Bulo sympathize with either the employers or employees. And, of course, the CEO earned his access the old-fashioned way, he paid for it: Prince’s political credentials also appeared to help the company win large […]

Vote to get a poll in Delaware!

Filed in Delaware by on March 2, 2009 10 Comments

Democratic pollster PPP is letting the internet decide which state to poll next: Delaware, Connecticut, or Kentucky. Go vote for Delaware right now. They will poll both our Senate and House race, testing Beau vs. Castle (Senate) and Carney vs. Castle (House), if Delaware wins out. I think all of us, liberal and conservative and […]

Specter Could Still Face Serious Primary Challenge

Filed in National by on March 2, 2009 23 Comments

Club For Growth wingnut Patrick Toomey, who almost knocked off US Sen. Arlen Specter last time, is reconsidering his decision not to challenge Specter in 2010. The reason? All together now…Specter’s vote for the stimulus package. Presumably b/c Pennsylvania’s just rolling in cash and new jobs: Toomey had been publicly mulling a run for governor […]

CR: God Created Teleprompters For A Reason

Filed in National by on March 2, 2009 12 Comments

This comment rescue comes from our resident spammer, Rebuild the GOP. One thing about Limbaugh’s speech, he didn’t read to the audience, he talked to them. Without a teleprompter Obama is lost. Why use a teleprompter? Mmm, maybe so you don’t confuse the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? From Limbaugh’s speech: We want every […]

Ziegler Is Not Only a Bad Sockpuppet, He’s a Bad Date

Filed in National by on March 2, 2009 9 Comments

I really tried to ignore John – or, should I say Konrad? – Ziegler, but with material like the videos below… Another Republican gift that keeps on giving.  And in case you’re tempted to give his public persona a pass, he’s just as bad in his personal life. (h/t The Daily Beast and The Political […]

Deep Snow Thought

Filed in National by on March 2, 2009 19 Comments

My top speed on the way to work this morning was 44 mph. (Rt1 soutbound between Middletown and Smyrna). The people going 20 are much more dangerous, it seems to me, than the people going 50.
