The Daily Show Deploys More Republican Pwnage
It strikes me that sooner or later someone is going to create The Daily Show Party — filled with people who not only know their stuff, but who are quick on their feet at countering Republican bulls***. And who won’t be cringing behind polling or what the pundits say about them:
Polling: In Which We Find Republicans Still Have a Problem
It is fair to note that this poll shows a pretty toxic environment for both parties, but it seems clear that if you are a Congressional Dem, you have abit of an edge to build from. And if you are a Congressional repub, the massive media spin (and media lock) isn’t exactly getting you alot of traction. Not yet, at least.
The Death Of Irony
According to Paul Krugman, irony is dead and Republicans killed it: “Don’t cut Medicare. The reform bills passed by the House and Senate cut Medicare by approximately $500 billion. This is wrong.” So declared Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, in a recent op-ed article written with John Goodman, the president of the […]
Funny Friday
Guess I’m just in a mood today, but this made me LOL! Edukashun fale. Spelling is not the Right’s strong suit. Very embarrassing.
For Your Amusement – If You Have A Sense Of Humor
This made me laugh. And before someone has a fit, let me say… Yeah, I know I’m burning and I’m A-Okay with that.
Friday Open Thread
It’s Friday of one of the strangest work weeks I’ve ever had. Two snowstorms in one week with two driving bans. It’s hard to say TGIF since I only had to go to work 3 days this week. Today’s open thread is a video-rich open thread. Enjoy! Both Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart take on […]
My Favorite News Journal Headline Ever
“Castle fights hypocrite label” Gee, I wonder why people would think that?
Snomaggedon: Critique The Governor’s Performance
There’s been a lot of chatter on Twitter and elsewhere about the Governor’s performance during the snowstorm. The critiques I’ve seen are the following: The governor is on a boondoggle in Europe while Delaware suffers from the snowstorm. The State of Emergency was too draconian and lasted too long. It should have been lifted earlier. […]
Glenn Beck Loses All U.K. Sponsors
The effort to contact Glenn Beck’s sponsors has been very successful. 102 sponsors have pulled out of Glenn Beck’s show and for at least 3 days, there have been no sponsors when Beck’s show has aired in the U.K.
Late Night Video — Close Guantanamo
One of the benefits of being snowed in this week is that I’ve had a chance to catch up on some blog reading, and discovered that I had missed this really good video about missing the one year anniversary of the commitment to close Gitmo.
Scott Spencer Deserves Better
Kavips lauds Scott Spencer’s accomplishments and ideas, but is concerned that there is a better place for him in the party, politics, and in government than likely losing to John Carney. While Kavips is well intentioned, it is the losing to Carney that will air Scott’s good ideas to the public, and his future in politics can wait until after the primary.
Reid Grows a Set?
Reid found some courage today in scrapping a jobs bill that had nothing but giveaways to the GOP in it. Now he needs to use that new found courage to pass a real jobs bill through reconciliation without any GOP support. Do it, Harry. Do it now.
20 Years Ago Nelson Mandela Was Released from Prison
Does anyone remember when Mandela was released from prison? I was in Salt Lake City that day and couldn’t get to a TV or radio until after the day’s work. Mandela’s speech was clear and strong — and it seemed clear that this was the day apartheid died its well deserved death. And the day […]
