Countdown — Two Days Until the Worlds Biggest Teabagging
Does anyone wish this were over yet? Or is this too much fun to watch? Do you think that this will be the end of the crazy or do Republicans still have new heights to reach? Witness the awesomeness of a Tea Party in Ohio back in February. And witness the accepted GOP narrative re: […]
Keeping An Eye on the Crazies
Obama has driven the modern GOP and its followers crazier than the Deliverance Banjo Kid on crack. We all get that. Paul Krugman points out that it is a good idea to keep an eye on them. But here’s the thing: the G.O.P. looked as crazy 10 or 15 years ago as it does now. […]
Quote Of The Day
Today’s G.O.P. is, after all, very much a minority party. It retains some limited ability to obstruct the Democrats, but has no ability to make or even significantly shape policy. Beyond that, Republicans have become embarrassing to watch. And it doesn’t feel right to make fun of crazy people. Better, perhaps, to focus on the […]
Instead of Gay, put in Black and see how it reads
The NJ is at it again, the hate gets published and I guess it sells newspapers and gathers readers. What more do gay black people want from state, society? The consent of two sovereign persons constitutes marriage. This consent is expressed in “I do” and it is witnessed by the church and the state. Witnessing […]
Whale Meat Again, Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When
Looks like the annual Japanese whale catch fell short of fears expectations thanks to those pesky militants from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, who, BTW, pulled this off w/o the use of assault weapons, go figure. Even though whale meat consumption is down precipitously in Japan, tradition dictates that the hunt continue. Not to mention […]

Handled.
Today’s talking point de jour among the right wing guests, like Newt Gingrich, on the Sunday shows was that President Obama was “soft on pirates.” And then the President goes and orders deadly force against the pirates, and due to the skill of our military, three pirates were killed and the captain was rescued. Now, […]
Awash in Evil
I have to give credit to James Dobson, at least he, unlike the Republicans, can admit that the radical right has lost. Leading evangelicals have admitted that their association with George W. Bush has not only hurt the cause of social conservatives but contributed to the failure of the key objectives of their 30-year struggle. […]
Sunday’s Open Thread
The Obamas get a dog and the newspapers write the obligatory “pet” articles. Pastor Warren is too exhausted to talk. Hey, maybe miracles really do happen! And it’s really a good thing we don’t have big problems or we wouldn’t have time to worry about important things. Meanwhile, Dobson admits defeat in the culture wars. […]
Countdown — Three Days Until the World’s Biggest Teabagging
Can you feel the excitement, the anticipation, the sheer thrill of telling the Administration to take back their damn tax cuts? Yeah, me neither. More wingnut teabagging news: Jed Lewison invokes his special magic to let us know exactly what is at stake (again, NSFW,people): The Tea-Tantrum Movement — which is what Andrew Sullivan calls […]
Read All About It in the Sunday Papers-Easter Edition
LEAD STORY-New York Times: “States Shredding Social Safety Nets to Balance Budgets” Maybe Pierre duPont should come on here to explain how raising taxes on the Silverspoonistas is engaging in ‘class warfare’, while cutting vital services to the most vulnerable is not: Perhaps nowhere have the cuts been more disruptive than in Arizona, where more […]
