Beck In The Saddle
Another really funny video from Andy Cobb. In this one, we get an excerpt from Glenn Beck’s mind, and it’s a scary place. We’ve seen several from him already, like “Regulation Vacation” and “Teabag Party.” To watch more videos, his YouTube channel is here.
Deep thought
giving everyone health care would raise the bar on people that like having cushy advantages in life.
This is why we don’t torture in America
Because when we do torture, we can no longer complain about the treatment of American citizens and soldiers, like the American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, sentenced for spying on North Korea. Here is what they will be treated like during the next 12 years: Conditions in camps for political prisoners [in North Korea] […]
Open Thread
Did you know that when someone comes to this web log (aka “blog”, aka “the shit”) they stay for 6 minutes and 20 seconds? Did you know that Rick Jensen is an ass? (Please God tell me someone has the current Jensen promo spot that they are airing in the AM drive…comedy gold!) Did you […]
Head Explosion
This is it! I have found the issue that will make a conservative’s head explode! Ready? The man charged with murdering a high-profile abortion doctor claimed from his jail cell Sunday that similar violence was planned around the nation for as long as the procedure remained legal, a threat that comes days after a federal […]
JFC Closed
See details here. The JFC is meeting today and Rep. Dennis Williams asked the media to leave. Apparently, they are doing a “work to rule” deal today — since HB1 isn’t yet signed by Governor Markell, it isn’t a law they have to abide by. Technically correct, but one wonders how long it will take […]
So What’s Specter Saying Here?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgX3nIYMeU8[/youtube] (via TPM) This is almost 7 minutes of a clear campaign speech with Specter claiming credit for the stimulus package and for bringing all kinds of funds to Pennsylvania for a bunch of projects. Calling the current Republican caucus “obstructionist” was a nice touch. He is heckled throughout over EFCA. At the end, he […]
Brad DeLong Has A Proposal
Even though we’ve seen improvement in the overall economy, the economic recovery will be long and painful. The latest unemployment numbers showed a jump in unemployment to 9.4% (U3) and the economy still lost >300,000 jobs last week. There’s been talk in some places of a second stimulus package because the first was not large […]
Newt vs. Sarah
Pass the popcorn… this is gonna be good. After being invited — for a second time — to speak to the annual joint fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Palin was told abruptly Saturday night that she would not be allowed to address the thousands of Republicans there […]
BIG NEWS! Bill Ending Discrimination Against Gays Likely to Pass Soon
This is not a dream, this is real. Although many have dreamed of this day for a long time. It now appears a virtual certainty that legislation banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in Delaware will pass both houses of the Delaware General Assembly, and will be signed by the Governor this month. In a […]
Value of Life point system
I’m trying to rap my head around how the christianyish people in our country and I think a point value system is going to work out best. I’m sure there is something in the bible already that places values on life. I just don’t have the time to read it. This will be a 1 […]
Newsweek Takes On Oprah
As much as we complain in the blogosphere about how the media covers issues, sometimes the media gets things right. The latest issue of Newsweek decides to examine some of the lifestyle advice offered on Oprah Winfrey’s show. The article is titled “Live Your Best Life Ever!” and it highlights some of Oprah’s celebrity guests […]
