The GOP plot to kill senior citizens
How do you know what the wingnuts are plotting? Easy – anything they accuse others of doing. Remember when Jonah Goldberg, after years of “you’re either with us or you’re a terrorist sympathizer”, started talking about “Liberal Fascism”? Remember how the party that tried to force an extremist religious viewpoint on America started talking about how […]
Good Luck With That

It’s now looking like a lot of prominent Republicans, ranging from party leaders to big-name pundits that we usually expect to make outrageous partisan attacks, are doing something they’d been previously neglecting: Definitively cracking down on […]

Charrrr-lie…Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are…
El Somnambulo’s article on the Caesar Rodney Institute, while answering many of the questions he had going in, have raised several more. ‘Bulo’s favorite Geezer wrote: If all these people being Republicans were no big deal, Republicans wouldn’t be all worked up over El Som pointing that out, would they? While The Beast Who Slumbers […]
