Customer Service
Nate Silver writes: Anyone who’s ever had to deal with Dell customer service knows that, indeed, there IS a company more desperately terrible than Comcast in this department. Conservatives would say that in theory the market would replace those horrorshow companies, but for anyone who lives in the real world and interacts with American customer […]

David Anderson: I love President Bush Love! Never mind the fact that he goes on to criticize Bush. He only does so with love in his heart.

Vote to get a poll in Delaware!
Democratic pollster PPP is letting the internet decide which state to poll next: Delaware, Connecticut, or Kentucky. Go vote for Delaware right now. They will poll both our Senate and House race, testing Beau vs. Castle (Senate) and Carney vs. Castle (House), if Delaware wins out. I think all of us, liberal and conservative and […]
Found on Twitter
I was just poking around Twitter, and found the following gem from Captain America writer Ed Brubaker: Listening to Republicans talk about how to save the economy is like listening to Ted Bundy talk about how to save lives. Holy sh**, that totally made my day.
Comment Rescue: Insane Art Downs Edition
Art Downs says: I did drive a Corvair that belonged to my sister and the negative comments by Ralph Nader were so much hokum.

Would you take medical advice from this man?
Golly gee wilickers, Bobby Jindal sure has some strange ideas about how medicine works. He’s also extremely careful and calculated, personality traits that come out during even the most mundane activities, like taking pills. Jindal, who has a background in biology, medicine and public policy, never follows the directions on prescription medicines. “I always just […]
Dow Up 236, Republicans Blame Obama
Seeing as how Republicans believe the market acts rationally and is the only barometer to measure policies, obviously they’re going to to pin a 236 point rally on Obama. Wall Street always behaves rationally, after all. Ha ha ha, I crack me up. I look forward to comments below from the wingnuts telling me how […]
Carper still favors capitulation
h/t Politico: “The majority has to be inclusive,” Obama told about 150 legislators and expert gathered at his accountability summit, “But the minority has to be constructive… The minority then has to come up with… ideas, and not just want to blow things up.” Later, when Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) implored him to continue reaching […]
RNC To Crush Dissent
h/t Politico, although their title features the hilarious typo “disssidents”: RNC Chairman Michael Steele has threatened to withhold party funds from three GOP senators who voted for the stimulus package. : “Will you, as RNC head, recommend no RNC funds being provided to help them?” Steele was asked on Fox News. “Oh, yes, I`m always […]
Comment Rescue from Roadkill
If it did come down to civil war, I don’t think your average anti would fight. They’d leave it for some uncivilized knuckledragging marine or policeman to enforce their wims. By “anti”, he’s referring to people who support “well-regulated” gun control. And by “wims”, he’s referring to “whims”. And by “enforce” such whims, he’s maybe […]
