Well, THAT Didn’t Take Long
Seriously -- I'm thinking that that the GOP is going to have a float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade called the Hypocrisy Brigade. NOW, what?, you are asking. Earmarks!
What Tax Cuts for the Rich Will Buy
Courtesy of that delightful brawler from Florida, who takes to the house floor to demonstrate in detail what an extension of tax cuts for the wealthy will buy.

Fake Objectivity
Not sure how many of you have been following the fallout from Keith Olbermann's suspension from MSNBC.

New Chris Coons Ad — Twilight
Saw this new ad from the Coons campaign on Facebook earlier today -- highlighting the crackpot *career* of his opponent, while refocusing on his own career achievements.
Details Are For Elitists!
This awesome video features the political model (and likely the future fake husband of) Christine O'Donnell. Actually, this is probably the model for all of the crop of teajadis and wannabe teajadis out there:
Turn Off Fox
The Color of Change have set themselves a new goal -- getting people to ask businesses and others with public TVs to encourage businesses and other public places to Turn Off Fox. CoC has been remarkably effective in getting most of Glenn Beck's advertisers to abandon ship, and no they want places who leave FOX up on the TV to become Fox Free.
It Would NOT Be OK If A Democrat Did This
You've probably read already how the teatard candidate for AK-Sen had his hired security guards handcuff and detain -- at a public event -- a local blogger who wanted ask…
