President Obama’s Rather Remarkable Address
I’ve been trying to think of what to say about Barack Obama’s economic speech today and have decided not to say anything except to tell you all to read it. The whole thing. Even though it’s long. It is not inspiring, except for the fact that the President of the United States is speaking to […]
e pleb nista!
This was my favorite Star Trek when I was a kid. This clip does not do it justice because it doesn’t show the Yang leader totally screwing the meaning of the Constitution sideways. Suffice it say that Glenn Beck is the doofy looking guy wearing the pelt. Here is the entire episode […]
Beck, Perry Disown Lincoln
Republicans and conservatives love to point to President Lincoln as a great Republican who saved the union and freed the slaves. They should be proud of him, for he was a great President, indeed our best President. Too bad that modern Republicans really do not share Lincoln’s vision or policies, what with their modern emphasis […]
Your taxes are being raised! REVOLT…right after work of course
Conveniently tomorrow’s revolt is taking place from 4 to 6:30 I guess the modern day revolutionaries need to make sure they don’t use any of their PTO and are saving it for a real coup. You know, something like immigration. Patriotism is sure in the air baby or maybe that residual Easter Egg dye! So, […]
Deep Misplaced Anger Thought
I wonder why the Republican nutbags have not turned any of thier anger on McCain and Palin for running such a shitty campaign? I recall being so pissed off at Gore and Kerry that I still tense up when I think about them. I guess Republicans are all about giving other Republicans a free ride.
Tuesday’s Open Thread
Who could have predicted that the term tea-bagging would find its way into real America? But, since it has, who are we not to mock? And, boy, have we been mocking! Today Cassandra continues her countdown to tea-bagging, while DV solicits questions you’d like to ask tea party participants. He also infiltrates FaceBook’s tea party […]
DHS Report Spotlights Right Wing Extremists
And it’s about time. Via Think Progress: The extreme right — those who are “hate-oriented,” “mainly antigovernment,” or those dedicated to a “single issue” — is a legitimate threat that law enforcement must deal with, according to a new assessment from the Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security. The report, […]

Cheers to Charles Johnson of LGF.
“Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but what the hell happened to “The buck stops here”? President Barack Obama is the Commander in Chief of the US armed forces. I certainly don’t agree with a lot of his policies, but I’ll be damned if I won’t — at the very least — respect the office and give him […]
El Somnambulo’s Countdown of His Top Republican Targets in 2010-#10
With the General Assembly out of session for a couple of weeks, the Beast Who Slumbers has decided to fire up the Political Hot Stove and list, IESHO, the top races that the Democratic Party and, more importantly, the progressive wing of the Party, should target. Fret not, Rethug friends, ‘bulo will soon follow with […]
Countdown — One More Day Until the World’s Biggest Teabagging
One more day until the big event — and one more day to ponder the sheer hypocrisy of these tea party events. One of the things I notice over the past week or ten days is how fast the folks trying to put this on are trying to re-spin the purpose of this thing. They […]
