The Lone Wolf Argument Doesn’t Hold Up When It Comes To Republican Racism
Electing the first black President was always going to shake things up, or, rather dig things up, but I really wasn’t prepared for the in-your-face racism spewing out of Republicans. Subtlety is not their strong point – and neither is technology. If Michael Steele truly wants to “rebuild” the GOP his first order should be […]
Since Everyone Agrees It’s All About The Sex
My husband just dumped a bunch of condoms in my 15 year old son’s drawer and told him, “Don’t be stupid, but if you are…” (h/t Dominique) *Still working on Sex Republican Style.
Comment Rescue: David A. Proves My Point
Earlier today I wrote a post which I asked… if stopping abortion is really your goal then why would you be against contraceptives? Perhaps because it’s not really about the fetus – It’s about the sex. David responded: There is nothing inconsistent with reducing abortion and reducing promiscuity that leads to it. That is the […]
If Stopping Abortion Is Really Your Goal…
…then why would you be against contraceptives? Perhaps because it’s not really about the fetus – It’s about the sex. But more conservative religious groups working with the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships say they would be forced to oppose such a plan—even though they support the abortion reduction part—because they oppose […]
Seems Fitting

The Summer Of Like Like
We’re only a few weeks into summer and there’s one question I’m hearing repeatedly… Yes, but do you like-like him/her? Ah, the teenage years, and I’ll admit I’m suddenly all ears to the new tone of chatter. It’s interesting since the kids on the block only get together every summer. Nine months away from each […]
Ho Hum, Another Private Health Insurance Scam
Truly shocking news. Health insurers have forced consumers to pay billions of dollars in medical bills that the insurers themselves should have paid, according to a report released yesterday by the staff of the Senate Commerce Committee. And health insurance companies claim they can’t compete with a public option… seems to me they can’t compete […]
Obama Reminds Republicans Of Their Free Enterprise Mantra
This has to hurt. But I guess having your own words used against you never feels good. Why would it drive private insurance out of business? If private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality health care; if they tell us that they’re offering a good deal, then why is it that the […]
Joe Klein Speaks The Truth
Via Balloon Juice. To put it as simply as possible, McCain–and his cohorts–are trying to score political points against the President in the midst of an international crisis. It is the sort of behavior that Republicans routinely call “unpatriotic” when Democrats are doing it. I would never question John McCain’s patriotism, no matter how misguided […]

You might want to check your spelling. Epic FAIL. (h/t Think Progress)
Funny What We Can “Afford”
Via Balloon Juice. Yes, the Congressional Budget Office’s preliminary cost estimates for Senate plans were higher than expected, and caused considerable consternation last week. But the fundamental fact is that we can afford universal health insurance — even those high estimates were less than the $1.8 trillion cost of the Bush tax cuts. Krugman And […]
Public Option Health Care – It’s On!
Kudos to the House! The Democratic Party showed on Friday what it’s capable of when led by the majority of its members rather than its conservative wing. In stark contrast to Senate Democrats, who spent the week backpedaling on reform, unified House Democrats unveiled a draft health care overhaul bill jointly endorsed by three powerful […]
They Are Losing Their Minds
They are crazy. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) has now signed up with the Birther cause — the people who think Barack Obama isn’t a natural-born citizen and should be required to produce a birth certificate (which he already did, anyway) — World Net Daily reports. Is this all they have? Looks like it. The 21% […]
