Late Night Video — The Doors Sing the Reading Rainbow Theme

By cassandra_m August 6, 20123 Comments

This is one freakin' awesome bit with Jimmy Fallon chanelling Jim Morrison to sign the once ubiquitous "Reading Rainbow" theme. This one just might become my favorite -- after the one where Fallon channels Neil Young singing Willow Smith's Flip My Hair.

This Guy Represents all Bigoted Conservatives

By Delaware Dem August 6, 201219 Comments

He is so batshit crazy and dumb, he does not think through his protest to realize it might be hazardous. He is so mindbogglingly incompetent that he cannot carry out said protest without burning down the town. And then he runs away like the little coward that he is, evidencing how much he and all bigoted conservatives really disdain personal responsibility and accountability.

Markell enters Romney tax fray – ‘(Romney) should have been ready for this’

By jason330 August 6, 20122 Comments

Delaware's Jack Markell piles on Romney pointing out the obvious, that Romney should have know that this was going to be an issue.

“It would seem to me that he would be ready for this, recognizing the comparison would come up to his father and to others,” Markell said. “The issue is he’s the one running for president. The questions have been raised about him, he could have them answered.”

Markell rubs salt into GOP wounds by making this about Romney's poor judgment, and I LOVE IT!

The consensus seems to be that Mitt Romney is nearing a decision on his running mate and is just waiting until the damn Olympics are over with to announce it. It also seems that the consensus choices for the second slot are as follows, as they have have been left out as convention speakers so far:

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin are both big names in the party believed to be among those Romney is weighing for the vice presidential slot or for the keynote address. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio also were noticeably absent from the slate of announced speakers and may be contenders for running mate.

My money is on Paul Ryan. Take the poll in the middle column.

Trump, Perry, Palin, Gingrich, Huntsman, Paul & Santorum snubbed by RNC

By jason330 August 6, 2012

RNC announced its list of convention speakers; McCain, Haley, Huckabee, & Rice are in. Many GOP household names are not. Among the snubbed, Rick Santorum is the first to speak up about it. He did so last week when Santorum dared Team Romney to leave him out:

Romney still hasn’t nailed down his party’s nomination

This is reason number 1,365 why no tax info will be released by team Romney. Until the votes are counted on the floor of the convention, Romney isn't the GOP's nominee for the office of the President of the United States. Therefor, Romney's promise to divest himself of possibly objectionable investments would be scrutinized if tax returns were released. Check it out.

Romney Paid Zero Taxes in the ’90’s

Harry Reid is too cagey a politician to get dragged into a pissing match without the goods. Now the GOP has taken to their fainting couch over Reid's assertions, but they can't back up their side with anything other than cry-baby hissy fits, while the Democrats get to play the badasses for once. The fact that story continues to back Romney into a deeper and deeper corner can be confirmed by the ever more desperate squeals from the GOP.
