Dear Annie Coons,

Dear Annie, Thank you for the email. It is good to know that your husband, our Senator, views Senator Cruz as a lunatic and a danger to democracy. (Tom Carper also recently sent me an email, but unlike Chris he couldn't bring himself to directly point out the malfeasance of a fellow Senator.) I also liked this line, “If Congress spent half the time working on manufacturing policy as it spends manufacturing political crises, our country would be in far better shape.” Obviously true. And of course, his devotion to his family is admirable. What I didn't see in the email was any discussion about what Chris plans to do about the Republicans who have no goal other than to fuck shit up and rake in wingnut welfare.

Sorry but I can’t stop laughing

I just can't get enough of this. The GOP clustf*ck-splosion over the ACA is endlessly entertaining to me. In this latest dispatch Red State's Eric Ericson tells Palin's "real America" that they can't go on "sucking it up" and voting for this year's McCain or Romney. He credits Palin's "real America" for every Republican win and blames DC squishes for every Republican electoral loss. It is too much. And the comments... oy!

Teabags now determined to O’Donnellize Mitch McConnell

This stuff from Red State is too good.
Among the many insightful things Ted Cruz said during his historic filibuster through the night was that there is no honesty in the Republican Party. He noted that it would be better to have a Senate full of Republicans like Mike Lee and Democrats like Bernie Sanders – people who actually believe what they say, and are honest and open about it. What he meant to say is that most of Washington is full of finger lickin’ frauds like Mitch McConnell...
historic filibuster... bwah ha ha !
It’s time to rally to Matt Bevin – a man who will stand shoulder to shoulder with Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.

What a juxtaposition. Here is Calgary Texas Senator Speaker Strom Thurmond Joe McCarthy Ted Cruz's hometown newspaper today. The self promoter named Cruz should be getting the hook just about noon. If he refuses to yield the floor, he will be arrested and dragged out of the chamber by the Sargent at Arms.

There simply are no words.
American International Group's chief executive said in an interview published Monday that the insurance company, which was aided by an extensive taxpayer bailout in the aftermath of the 2008 recession, was wrongly targeted for awarding its employees bonuses after the crisis -- comparing the outrage in Washington to lynchings that occurred in the Deep South a half a century ago.

Literally Malarkey. So says the folks from MotivationalBiden.com (it's a Facebook page) to remind people that today is National Voter Registration Day. Most of the folks who read this are registered to vote, but it is worth it to ask around your family and friends to make sure that folks are signed up to participate in their Government. You can check here for the status of your registration. Click here to go to the State's Dpeartmnt of Elections to sign up.
