FWIW, here is the DEGOP's official reaction to the debate. (Notice how Copeland views the Republican primary voter's fear as some mysterious force that has descended on the land, and…

The idiot trio of Fox News hosts at night’s GOP presidential debate would not leave Trump alone. Was there a plan at Fox to do Jeb's dirty work? Bret Baier…

Nice company Senator.

Roger Ailes, Fox News and the RNC won. Crazy-ass modern Republican economics (which have failed, and failed, and failed) won. The notion that we should bomb Iran rather than talk to Iran won big time. If you think the country would be better off with school vouchers and without Planned Parenthood - you won! Congrats. This was not a debate, but a disgusting travesty. That our political process had devolved to this makes me sick. That those nine nit wits (and Ben Carson) got to stand up on a national stage and be taken seriously as candidates for high office is an absolute indictment of this country and its people. William Henry Harrison read the military history of ancient Rome and Julius Caesar in Latin. Teddy Roosevelt spoke French, German, Greek and could read Latin. The collective brain power of the men on the stage last night couldn't power a night light. A lot will be written about who scored what points, but the bottom line is - Idiocy won. America lost.

Huckabee manifests the stigmata of Christ. (May or may not also speak in tongues.) Trump lights a cigar with a $1,000 bill. Jeb shocks everyone by speaking clearly and eloquently…

It sounds like Bill Clinton cajoled and flattered Trump into jumping into the race. "Former President Bill Clinton encouraged Donald Trump to become more involved in GOP politics in a…

Looking at these Rolling Stone Magazine rules, I'm thinking everyone is going to be smashed within five minutes. (Unless your cocktail of choice is, like mine, is a nice cold Bud Light Chelada) ....

Someone help me out. Specials are important, and Democrats typically suck at them. I don't know how to respond to the poll question on the right, should I pick "The Republicans" based on past performance? I have been invited to a fundraiser for Eileen O'Shaughnessy-Coleman, and haven't been invited to a fundraiser for David Bentz, but that doesn't tell me anything. (I think I opted out of the DelDem mailing list because the drivel was depressing, but stayed on the DEGOP mailing list because Copeland's drivel is hilarious.) So what's the scoop internet tubes? Work your crowdsourcing magic.

Details of today's shooting are still emerging, but these are the facts we have so far: 1) It is "too soon" to talk about how this shooting fits into our approach to gun control. 2) Our approach to gun control makes it easy for anyone [even people who “exhibited extreme erratic behavior and has made ominous as well as disturbing statements”] to get guns legally and kill multiple people. 3) In spite of the fact that every other western industrialized country manages to restrict criminals and the mentally deranged from obtaining guns, any changes (and I mean ANY CHANGES) in our approach to gun control are impossible because they would naturally and inexorably lead to tyranny. 4) Congress and the national headquarters of the NRA are both places which restrict 2nd Amendment rights. 5) The NRA took in over $300 million in revenue in 2013.

"If Republicans were really concerned with reducing abortions, they would be for contraception. They'd be for reducing unplanned pregnancies. They be in favor of making abortion more rare, not in making it illegal. If they honestly wanted to reduce abortions, they would want to increase Planned Parenthood's budget. They don't care about things that have been proven to work thought because they really aren't concerned with stopping abortions. They are concerned with making noise and raising money."

Not only has he trashed Wisconsin's finances, but his personal finances are a mess.

Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin (R) is in some serious debt. National Journal's Shane Goldmacher reported Monday that new federal financial documents showed that Walker had credit-card debts totaling more than $20,000 from two separate cards.

That's bad. This is worse.

One of the debts is via Barclays and is estimated to be between $10,000 and $15,000. The interest rate on the debt is 27.24%.

What a moron.

2 Men Open Fire On Soldiers At Jade Helm Training Site HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — A sheriff in Mississippi says authorities are searching for two men who fired gunshots from a vehicle at soldiers at a military facility. No injuries were reported. Perry County Sheriff Jimmy Dale Smith tells WDAM-TV (http://bit.ly/1UlrHi6) that the shots were fired just after noon Tuesday. The soldiers were training at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center in Hattiesburg. U.S. Special Forces Command designated Camp Shelby as one of the sites where a multi-state military training exercise, "Jade Helm 15", was expected to take place, according to The Army Times.

I'm inclined to let the south go, but I'd hate to have to live next to a failed state full of psychotic idiots.
