That seems to sum up (as of this writing, which is shortly before the Super Committee deadline) the rather expected results of the work of said Super Committee.

Speechless

We’ve all seen (I hope) the video of the UC Davis Police pepper-spraying the OWS protesters who were sitting, arms-locked and — most importantly — peacefully, when the police decided that mistreating students was the most important thing they could do that day. (This video is 8+ minutes long and is an amazing document of the public reaction to this incident as well of the police retreating in full embarassment.)

“Democrats for Kovach” Building Momentum

Filed in National by on November 20, 2011 31 Comments

I’ll admit that it has been a slow start for “Democrats for Kovach.” In part because the spelling of Kovachs’ name was an unfathomable mystery for so many, and in part because people don’t fully understand the goals of the “Democrats for Kovach” movement. Let me clear that confusion up with the first draft of the “Democrats for Kovach” manifesto. This is an open source manifesto, so please take part in honing the “Democrats for Kovach” manifesto in the Comments section.

Brain Freeze(?)!

Filed in National by on November 19, 2011 4 Comments

It seems that the older some congressmen get, especially from colder climes, the more ornery and arrogant they become. Case in point – Rep. Don Young (Teabag-AK), who’s been in Congress since 1973. During a hearing on Friday, Young went head-to-head with a witness before the House Natural Resources Committee, which Young used to chair. […]

UPDATED: Democrats For Kovach (or whatever loser they pick to run against Carney)

Filed in National by on November 18, 2011 74 Comments

This is the perfect opportunity to throw away a “message” vote. There is no way Carney is going to lose to that RWNJ freak Kovatch. Nor will he lose whatever loser that runs in place of Kovack.

Both Carney and the eventual Republican candidate will be talking about how goddam important it is to cut the deficit and reduce benefits for Senior “current medicaid recipients will not be effected” ™ and veterans, so why the fuck not vote for the Republican dumbass this time out?

When Carney has to sweat out a closer than expected 52/48 win on election night – maybe he’ll go back to Washington with a clear head.

Sign up in the comments section. Let’s get this done.
