For some reason, this video needs you to have a Facebook account in order to view it. What Glenn Beck Hates
Wednesday Open Thread
Welcome to Wednesday! Is anyone else finding this week incredibly long? It’s time for your open thread, so tell us what’s on your mind. Hey, I love this news but with all news about diet take it with a grain of salt: Led by Dr. Lu Wang, preventive-health experts at Brigham conducted the first long-term […]
John Carney Chosen For DCCC’s Red To Blue Program
Former Lt. Gov John Carney has been chosen in the first group of “Red to Blue” candidates by the DCCC. This is good news for John Carney, because that means his race is being placed in high priority by the Democratic party. Chairman Van Hollen joined DCCC Vice Chair Bruce Braley (IA) and Red to […]
Glenn Beck, Cult Leader
The leaders of cults tend to be charismatic individuals who brainwash their followers. They do this by isolating them from their friends and family so that the members are dependent on the cult leader for their world view. They also make distinctions between “us” and “them,” with “us” as the good guys and “them” as […]
Democrats To Get All Vincent Van Gogh About Earmarks
Ethically speaking it hasn’t been a great year for Democrats in Washington, but with the ouster of Massa and other corrections of mis-steps, Congressional Democrats are continuing down the path of ethics reform. One item ripe for massive reform are earmarks. House Democrat leaders are actively working on ways to reform —even temporarily halt — […]
Memo to Michele Rollins: Bring It On!
Rethugs are virtually wetting themselves (except for the octogenarian Vicmead Hunt denizens, who really ARE wetting themselves) over the possible entrance of Michele Rollins into Delaware’s US House race. Michele Rollins earned her entree into Greenville gigagazilionaire circles the old-fashioned way: She married into it. A dewy-eyed 1963 beauty queen (the dew formed in the […]
The Delicate Flowers Of SCOTUS
Someone’s had their widdle feelings hurt: Speaking to law students at the University of Alabama, Roberts said he had “no problems” with criticism in general. “On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum,” said the Chief Justice. “The image of having the members of one branch of […]
Don’t Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out
Rush Limbaugh, the satirical twit of right-wing hate, is threatening — strike that — promising to leave the United States if health care reform is passed and fully implemented in the next five years. CALLER: If the health care bill passes, where would you go for health care yourself? And the second part of that is, what […]
Late Night Video — Lego: The Force Unleashed
Very creative animation of legos and far beyond anything we made with our legos back in the olden times…..
The Train To Crazytown
Newly disgraced former Congressman Eric Massa appeared on Glenn Beck’s TV show today. For some reason, the rightwing embraced Massa – I guess believing that Massa had the power to hurt the Obama administration. The interview didn’t go as Beck expected (he wanted to bash Rahm Emmanuel the whole time I guess): “I wasn’t forced […]
A Decade of Lost Economic Performance
From The Economist: The 2000’s were the worst decade for American economic performance since the 1930’s.
People often forget that Americans are among the hardest working people in the industrial world. These charts show how BushCo economic policy made sure that those hardworking people got a lot less in return.
GOP Grooming Obsession
The Crist-Rubio Senate primary race down in Florida is beginning to be a blowout for Marco Rubio. There’s been all kinds of rumors that Crist would switch parties or become independent, which he denies. There’s a brewing scandal on some expenses that Rubio charged to a state party credit card, including $130 at a hair […]
Tuesday Open Thread
It’s Tuesday and it still feels like spring. I think I’m starting to get used to this weather. So, are we ready for an open thread? P.T. Barnum said there’s a sucker born every minute and I guess he’s right about that: Instead, two glass vials purportedly containing the ghosts of two dead people sold […]
