Kay Bailey Hutchison: Rick Perry Gay?
Oh those wacky Rethugs. Talking Points Memo, by way of the Austin American-Statesman (if Texas secedes, can we please keep Austin?), reports that the campaign of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who is primarying incumbent Texas Gov. Rick “Secession Now” Perry, “included hidden phrases including “rick perry gay” in order to draw hits to its website. […]
Question of the Early Evening
When the The Caesar Rodney Institute’s Garrett Wozniak puts up a database allowing students to go online and look up how much their teachers make (or don’t make), I wonder if he’ll put his salary info up as well. For the sake of…you know… transparency. What’s good for schools is good for so-called non-paritsan think […]
Drinking Liberally Tonight!
Can’t say I didn’t promote this! And for those going to the debate… drop in afterwards! Festivities began at 7:00 at the Purple Parrot in Rehoboth. Don’t forget your “birth certificate!” (Go on and get creative!) Not only will those with a “birth certificate” be entered to win a case of Twin Lakes Brewery Beer, […]
Susan Collins Wants To Kill Your Grandmother
The newest silly GOP talking point about healthcare reform is about the provision requiring hospitals to provide end-of-life counseling to people who wanted it. This proposal has turned into a strange and silly Republican talking point about encouraging euthenasia. Guess who first proposed this? Even by conservative standards, the argument is insane. It’s extremely common, […]
A Libertarian Question
Is there really any difference between Libertarianism and Anarchy? For if even polio vaccinations are an unwarranted Government intrusion upon the liberty of the people, then what isn’t?

What Is The Process To Get A Healthcare Reform Bill?
My understanding of the legislative process is pretty low, but here is what is happening to the best of my understanding. Health care reform is not dead! It’s moving forward, but there is still a lot to do. There are 5 committees working on the health care bill – 3 in the House and 2 […]
Comment Rescue: Deep thought
One of the anon’s that I think we all know as “anon” and is a true anon as we don’t know who the heck he/she is said this: Comment by anon on 29 July 2009 at 11:04 pm: Another thing all over the TV is the meme that health care is doomed We are in […]
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
Seems the Birthers have gotten too big for their britches. Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle. 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 […]
