GOP Governors Can Reject Stimulus Money
A non-partisan Congressional Report just released concludes “that it likely would be unconstitutional for a legislature to supplant a governor in accepting and using economic stimulus money.” The Congressional Research Service analysis could imperil tens of millions of stimulus dollars reserved for South Carolina and Texas, whose governors have said they will reject some of […]
I Have No Sympathy For Bankers Or Insurers
Why should I when they’ve never had sympathy when the shoe was on the other foot? Shameless cut and paste below, but, in my defense, when someone nails it they deserve the credit.

Just when we thought he was gone…
So long as there is a man named George W. Bush, there will be Bushisms: “I’m going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there’s an authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened.” Freudian slip much, Mr. former President.

NCCo Budget 2010

The 15 minute State

When Keith Calls Bill O’Reilly Bill “Orally”… Little Did He Know
The Village Voice stumbles across a budding author.

Whackos Preparing ‘Marriage Protection Act’
A talkative toucan informs El Somnambulo that Sen. Bob Venables (D-Mars) and the troglodyte caucus are preparing a so-called ‘Marriage Protection Act’ for introduction. It’s not in the system yet, but it already has a number, SB 27 (666 is already reserved). And a synopsis: “A marriage between a man and a woman is the […]
