There's an interesting letter in today's Washington Post. The letter is from Marjorie Margolies, and it's addressed, "Dear Wavering House Democrats". The missive is aimed at the handful of House Dems…
According to Jonathan Cohn at TNR, the CBO score is in, and it looks good. Democrats in the administration and Congress have agreed on a set of amendments to the…
I know it's a slippery slope when you start trying to debunk every inane talking point that comes along, but there was a specific one that I wanted to look…
Apparently, Democrats in Washington are on the verge of seriously hurting the feelings of Congressional Republicans. So much so, in fact, that this is what they have threatened to do:…
In the words of St. Ronnie, "Here they go again." It seems that an alliance of Tea Party groups has descended upon Washington again, in a three-week "Take the Town…
OK, maybe I'm weird (that was rhetorical), but this from MoveOn cracked me up. Just type your name in ... it's worth it. I especially like the French Glenn Beck…
