Comment Rescue: What About Protack?
Geezer says Protack still thinks he’s elected-official material. But is that true? Protack has progressed from postings that are merely strange to postings that are incomprehensible non sequiturs. He’s burned more bridges than the retreating Germans and the mainline Republicans would not lift a finger to help him win the post of dog catcher at […]
Brilliant
We are going to make them own the Birthers or risk their wrath: [Rep. Neil Abercrombie’s] resolution’s main purpose will be to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood. And while commemorating that grand history, the resolution will of course mention how the state is Obama’s birthplace. This gives Republicans a choice: Vote yes on […]
Matt Denn Wins Major Court Victory Over Insurance Co’s
Denn continues to impress: After the legislature passed its medical fee schedule legislation there was a $14 million pot of savings suddenly created. Denn issued a ruling in December, 2008 that the savings had to be returned to worker’s comp policy holders. The Insurance companies threatened to sue, Denn said “take your best shot.” They […]
Polly Running Scared ?
Maria at DelawarePolitics reports that Polly Adams has said yes to Thursday’s Sussex League of Women Voter’s forum. It is easy to get the impression that the SC Dems felt Polly could pull the “special election glide” into office without disclosing what she thinks about the issues. She still may be able to for that […]
Caesar Rodney Institute an Honest Broker? We Report–You Decide
PART ONE: The Caesar Rodney Institute, aided and abetted by the usual suspects like David Burris, has been working overtime to portray itself as some sort of non-partisan good government honest broker. Kinda like Common Cause or the League of Women Voters. Do the facts warrant this narrative? Let’s take a closer look. In its […]
What Do The Blue Dogs Want?
Paul Krugman lays it out. So what are the objections of the Blue Dogs? Well, they talk a lot about fiscal responsibility, which basically boils down to worrying about the cost of those subsidies. And it’s tempting to stop right there, and cry foul. After all, where were those concerns about fiscal responsibility back in […]
How About It Republicans?
E.J. Dionne has a question for 2nd amendment-loving politicians: (h/t Washington Monthly) I’ve been studying the deep thoughts of senators who regularly express their undying loyalty to the National Rifle Association, and I have decided that they should practice what they preach. They tell us that the best defense against crime is an armed citizenry […]

Tommywonk Explains Birther Nutbaggery to the Brits
Writing for The Guardian, Tom lays out the facts and caps his piece with this fine analysis: The episode neatly encapsulates the dilemma of the Republican party. Castle could be the party’s best shot at taking a Senate seat next year – if he chooses to run. But he has drawn the ire of the […]
Pssst….Republican Commenters, We get It. Honest we do.
Conservatives, If you want to comment here, do me a favor and think about what you are about to type. There is no need to repeat basic GOP talking points. For example, don’t tell us that Bill Clinton got a blow job and that Clinton’s infidelity exculpates every Republican adulterer forever. We know. We get […]

David Letterman says goodbye in the best way he knows how to our pagent walkin’ Sarah.
Deep thought/QOTE
If Unions are the Devil and we railed against the UAW making (not true) $70 an hour, how come we aren’t railing against that other union that is protecting their workers by keeping demand high and supply low. Their workers are definitely making a few hundred thousand and up to a few million a year? […]
