What’s Charlie Copeland Up To Today?

Filed in Delaware by on August 14, 2009 10 Comments

Maybe getting ready for his CRI board of Directors Meeting on September 14th? His Aunt and Uncle will certainly want to know where all the money is going. Maybe reading over and approving blog posts written by the whack pack. Or perhaps musing about how chicken laced with chemicals is really good for you.

Cash For Clunkers widdled to 1984 cars and younger

Filed in National by on August 14, 2009 12 Comments

As I said last week the cash for clunkers program fell short of what it could have been.  As expected, the lobbyists got their way.  Nothing has changed in Washington, the powerful and special interests (almost one in the same) don’t want change and we all know who pays for the stagnation. Apparently the classic […]

Filed in National by on August 14, 2009 25 Comments

No CSPAN cameras right now, so I don’t have to worry whether my make-up looks good. On today’s agenda: Howard Dean discusses health care reform. The single payer advocates (HR 676) are out in force. I haven’t seen any Obama = Hitler signs yet. Dean’s thoughts: Some people are angry because we’re seeing a generational […]

Bruce Bartlett’s piece at the Daily Beast is well worth your time.  For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Bartlett here’s a brief synopsis: Bruce Bartlett was one of the original supply-siders, helping draft the Kemp-Roth tax bill in the 1970s. In the 1980s and 1990s, he was a leading Republican economist. He now considers […]

UPDATED: Who Wants Coons on The Front Page of the News Journal?

So the News Journal has signed up to play along with someone’s plan to get people talking about Chris Coon’s political future. But who gains from this? Who wants you to be thinking about Coons?

I’m here at Netroots Nation waiting for Bill Clinton’s speech to begin. I’ve got pretty good seats, so I should be able to see well. CSPAN is here so perhaps you’ll catch a glimpse of me on TV. CSPAN is covering the speech live. Chuck Rocha rocked the house! Great speaker. Judd Ligum(?) from Think […]

The Best Breakdown of the Town Hall Screamer Craze That I’ve Read

Filed in National by on August 13, 2009 8 Comments

“For one thing, Republicans don’t do well when they’re out of power, especially after an extended period of being in power. Ask Jimmy Carter. Ask Bill Clinton. Democrats try to figure out a way to make it work when there’s a Republican president. Republicans just try to figure out how to f*ck shit up when the executive’s a Democrat. These approaches do not go together.”

Bold Double Prediction: A Mike Protack loss to Christine O’Donnell & A Christine O’Donnell Loss to Beau Biden

Filed in National by on August 13, 2009 14 Comments

It is so clear to me now. Castle is not running. The moment that announcement is made Protack will announce that he is running in a primary against O’Donnell. Rather than run into a wall of incoherent wingnut rage, Copeland will sit out and hope for the GOP to right itself in time for 2012. […]
