The Governor Of Utah (Yes, Utah!) Fails Conservative Litmus Test
Via John Cole: Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.’s appearance at a Michigan county Republican Party event was scrapped this week after the county chairwoman said that hosting the moderate Utah governor would mean abandoning the party’s conservative principles. Kent County Republican Party Chairwoman Joanne Voorhees abruptly canceled the party fundraiser scheduled for Saturday. “The voters want […]
State Secret BS shot down by Courts
One of the things you don’t here the Teabaggers and the rest of the conservatives talking about is Obama’s attempt to use the Bush hail mary play, aka State Secrets. Obama has used it 3 times already and one of the times has been shot down by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. What he […]
Breaking: John Carney To Run For House Seat

I guess Celia was feeling burned by not cottoning on to the fact that Carney was running when she made her triumphant return to blogging on April 23rd. Anyway, it is official now. Carney is running. Everyone who has been wondering […]
QOD
Is Arlen Specter any different that Delaware’s own infamous Party Switcher, John Atkins? In the end, they are both serving themselves and have no other life beyond politics. They can’t do anything else, and without what little power they weild are really weak, pointless, inconsequential, gutless human beings that have never served the interests of […]

By rejecting Councilman David Tackett’s resolution to make it easier for citizens hear the proceedings in County Council via the web (live or archived video), you put yourselves on the record as firmly opposed to the cause of Open Government. Given the times we live in, restricting the availability of your proceedings demonstrates an incredible […]

Bloggers Win Again
It is a familiar story heard around the country. A blogger criticizes a politician on their blog. The criticism garners attention. The politician or supporters of that politician attempt to retaliate in some way. Some persue underground bully tactics, like trying to out the identity of the blogger if he or she is anonymous or […]
Quote of the Day
Nobody cuts brutally to the quick quite like Vanity Fair’s James Wolcott. On the wingnuts who drove Specter out of the Republican Party, he writes: Many of them appear defiantly resigned to the Republican Party becoming a regional bastion of true believers, the Branch Davidian compound of the Confederate Jesus. The Beast Who Slumbers wishes […]
Deep Thought of the Night.
With all the talk of the Democrats getting 60 votes tonight, the traditional media seems to forget that Arlen Specter is not automatically now a liberal, and that Franken has still not been seated, and … Getting all 60 Democrats to vote together will be like herding rabid guinea pigs in a thunderstorm. Yes, Gail […]
Steve-o Wants us to Freak Out.
Run for the hills! Dangerous, rightwing extremist Colorado militia holding public musters! Waiting for our local watchdogs to chastise the Handmade Militia for a politically inappropriate name. Except there is nothing dangerous, right wing, or extremist about this group, except perhaps for their choice of the word “militia” in the group’s name. Except that even […]
