The Lie That Won’t Die

Ari Fleischer is a big liar. FLEISCHER: It was in part because of Iraq and large part because of the economy that Barack Obama won. Having said that, I also think Barack Obama should say thank you every day that he inherited a world without Saddam Hussein in it. The one thing people are going […]

United We Stand

According to a new survey it looks as if Americans are more united than divided.  Nate Silver (538) breaks it down.  The questions cover a variety of issues, asking the participants to rate (on a scale of 0-10) whether they agree or disagree.  You can take the test here.

Michael Steele is pro-choice. M (Michael Steele): The choice issue cuts two ways. You can choose life or you can choose abortion. You know, my mother chose life. So, you know, I think the power of the argument of choice boils down to stating a case for one or the other. L: Are you saying […]

Filed in National by on March 11, 2009 7 Comments

They have Rush’s poll numbers. According to the Democratic polling firm, voters view the conservative talk show host “negatively by a two-to-one ratio (53 to 26 percent), with nearly half the country, 45 percent, viewing him very, very negatively. Among independents, the ratio rises to three-to-one.” 45% view him very, very negatively.  I’m shocked, I […]

I Can’t Wait For Tonight’s Daily Show

Filed in National by on March 10, 2009 12 Comments

Taking on a comedian is never wise.  Taking on someone as quick and clever as Jon Stewart is beyond foolish.  Watch the clip.  And while I can’t predict what Stewart will do to Cramer and Scarborough I know it’s going to hurt – in a painfully hilarious sort of way. (h/t TPM and a. price.  […]

According to a new survey Religious affiliation is on the decline. So many Americans claim no religion at all (15%, up from 8% in 1990), that this category now outranks every other major U.S. religious group except Catholics and Baptists.

Dems Have Nothing To Lose In The Limbaugh War

Filed in National by on March 8, 2009 12 Comments

Dems have nothing to lose in the Limbaugh War because this fight isn’t about us.  It’s about Republicans.

I’m Sorry, Who Are Republicans Blaming For Keeping This Circus Alive?

Filed in National by on March 4, 2009 9 Comments

I really would like to stop writing about this, (Okay, I’m lying!) but how can I when Rush won’t shut up!  Now he’s challenging President Obama to a debate! But I have an idea.
