Sussex County Drinking Liberally Was A Blast
I had a great time last night. It’s always fun putting faces with names, and the “birth certificates” are laugh out loud funny. Our very own Cassandra and Unstable Isotope made the trip down – on a school night! – along with Free Radical. MJ picked the perfect location (thanks again, MJ!) and handed out […]
Drinking Liberally Tonight!
Can’t say I didn’t promote this! And for those going to the debate… drop in afterwards! Festivities began at 7:00 at the Purple Parrot in Rehoboth. Don’t forget your “birth certificate!” (Go on and get creative!) Not only will those with a “birth certificate” be entered to win a case of Twin Lakes Brewery Beer, […]
Good Luck With That
Seems the Birthers have gotten too big for their britches. Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle. It’s now looking like a lot of prominent Republicans, ranging from party leaders to big-name pundits that we usually expect to make outrageous partisan attacks, are doing something they’d been previously neglecting: Definitively cracking down on […]
UPDATED: The GOP’s New Talking Point: They Shoot Old People, Don’t They
Talk about scare tactics and preying on the elderly. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX): We’ve been battling this socialist health care, the nationalization of health care, that is going to absolutely kill senior citizens. They’ll put them on lists and force them to die early because they won’t get the treatment as early as they need. […]

New CBO Report: Public Option Will NOT Drive Private Insurers Out Of Business
Oh well, there goes another talking point. The report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the public option proposed by Democrats would not drive private insurers out of business and most people would still choose to get their medical coverage through employers. The CBO Report also calls into question the Lewin Group’s analysis: The […]
Drug Companies Get Subsidized For Bombarding Us With Ads
I really hate all the pharma ads on TV. Now I have an even better reason to abhor them. (h/t Digby) Meanwhile, Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, has introduced a bill called the Say No to Drug Ads Act. It would amend the federal tax code to prevent pharmaceutical companies from deducting the […]
What Do The Blue Dogs Want?
Paul Krugman lays it out. So what are the objections of the Blue Dogs? Well, they talk a lot about fiscal responsibility, which basically boils down to worrying about the cost of those subsidies. And it’s tempting to stop right there, and cry foul. After all, where were those concerns about fiscal responsibility back in […]

Bill Tells Women Seeking An Abortion To Get A Permission Note From The Baby’s Father
I really wish I were kidding. State Rep. John Adams (R-OH) has re-introduced radical legislation that would prevent a woman from having an abortion until she gets written consent from the biological father. As proposed, the bill triggers criminal penalties against women for “providing a false biological father.” Adams says the “first-degree misdemeanor” would be […]
A Sign Of Who’s Winning The Battle For The Soul Of The Republican Party
GOP Senate Candidate Charlie Crist, as Governor of a state with many many Hispanics, fears the right wing of his party so much that he announces his opposition to Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination. Thus, the Crazy Right wins control of the Party.
Teen Pregnancy and Syphilis Increase Under “Abstinence Only” Bush, Or… Duh
Like we didn’t see this one coming. Teenage pregnancies and syphilis have risen sharply among a generation of American school girls who were urged to avoid sex before marriage under George Bush’s evangelically-driven education policy, according to a new report by the US’s major public health body. In a report that will surprise few of […]
