There are not words to express how truly awful this song is. And, OMG, they actually made this into a movie with Rob Lowe! How many of you made it to the end? Okay, okay. I’ll post some good Christmas songs later!

Republicans Really, Really Want To Shut Down The Government
Via TPM: Republican and Democratic leaders are now engaged in a brinksmanship that could result in a temporary shutdown of the federal government. After the election, Republicans voted among themselves to eschew all earmarks for two years, and now they have to make good on their pledge. Yesterday, Democrats’ chief appropriator, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI) […]
An Interesting Poll
Steve Benen breaks it down, but here is what stands out to me: Elsewhere in the poll, Americans said they are concerned about the deficit, but when asked about nine different ideas for deficit reduction, the public opposed all nine. Try not to be surprised. [emphasis mine] Seriously, we’re all talk. About that GOP mandate… […]
DADT On The Move
Via Greg Sargent: This was uncertain as late as this morning. But just now, in a briefing with reporters, Steny Hoyer confirmed it: House Dems will indeed introduce a stand alone bill this week to repeal don’t ask don’t tell.

Tone Deaf
I’m really not certain if writing this post is worth it. I’m also not certain I want to go down this road again. Truth is… I’m weary. Even sadder, I’m tuning out. First, this isn’t a post about policy – it’s about tone. On that note, I have a few questions for certain Progressives/Liberals/Democrats: What […]

Baking has begun in the Pandora household, and when I’m baking I go for a non-traditional take on Christmas music. Gotta keep moving! Not sure why I love this, but I do!
Quote Of The Day
Christine O’Donnell: “Tragedy comes in threes. Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards’ passing and Barack Obama’s announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits.” I’m trying to ignore her, but… C’mon!
Hey, I Found Those Republican Death Panels
Heartbreakingly cruel. PHOENIX — Even physicians with decades of experience telling patients that their lives are nearing an end are having difficulty discussing a potentially fatal condition that has arisen in Arizona: Death by budget cut. Effective at the beginning of October, Arizona stopped financing certain transplant operations under the state’s version of Medicaid. Many […]
Can I Get An Oh My! – HOUSE PASSES MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUT!
I love this! This afternoon, House Democrats will hold an up or down vote on vote on President Obama’s plan to extend tax cuts to income below $250,000, and they’ve figured out a way to prevent the Republicans from pulling procedural tricks that might sink it — a straight vote on whether or not wealthy […]

And the tax breaks that […]
