Republicans Discover Senate Hate
Rpeublicans are now complaining that their kick kids off insurance and increase the cost of granny’s drugs bill won’t get a vote in the Senate. Bless their hearts.
DADT On The Move
Via Greg Sargent: This was uncertain as late as this morning. But just now, in a briefing with reporters, Steny Hoyer confirmed it: House Dems will indeed introduce a stand alone bill this week to repeal don’t ask don’t tell. Hoyer said that House Dems will introduce a repeal bill that “reflects the Lieberman-Collins bill […]
Chris Coons Sounds Like a Real Democrat on Repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
I have to say that I love this no nonsense statement from Chris Coons: “We were closer to a repeal this week than we’d ever been, but just as they did when they blocked the unemployment insurance extension for millions of out-of-work Americans, Senate Republicans hijacked this issue as part of their war on progress.”
Hit the flip for the whole thing. It gives me hope that Coons is going to be a Senate Democrat, and not whatever form of political scum that Tom Caper is.
Shorter Tom Carper, “Yes. I still Suck!”
Antsy being out of the spotlight for very long, every now and then Senator Tom Carper feels the need to yell down from his ivory tower and let everyone know that he still sucks. His latest reminder is in the form of signing onto a letter letting everyone know that he backs the Republican plan to give millionaires more tax cuts while demonstrating fiscally prudence by defunding Social Security.

The Schmuck Who May Miss His Dinner
When I heard that there was a movie that came out called “Dinner for Schmucks,” I thought it was the life story of the senior Senator from Connecticut, Joe LIEberman. But someone told me that it wasn’t about him. Oh well. After reading this story, I’m not feeling sorry for Joe one bit. A new […]
Time To Rethink Party Switches?
Two prominent party switchers have gone down to defeat in this election cycle. Republican turned Democrat Arlen Specter was upset by Joe Sestak in the PA-Sen primary and last night Democrat turned Republican Parker Griffith was defeated in the AL-05 Republican primary by Mo Brooks (decisively enough in a 3-way race that no runoff will be needed).
Terrorist attacks Jacksonville congregation
Yes, this is real. It happened 10 days ago, and the national media didn’t report it – only local media did. On May 10th, a man brought a pipe bomb and a can of gasoline to a Jacksonville congregation during prayers and detonated it. Thank God no one was injured, but it’s still a rather […]
Our Liberal Media
Most of us on the left realize that despite the conventional wisdom that the media is “liberal” it generally leans to the right. It’s not unusual to see stories percolate in the right and then go straight into the mainstream media (look at “Obama’s Katrina” for a good example). Meteor Blades at Daily Kos did […]
Question of the Day
Megan McArdle of the Atlantic has a revealing question: Can someone explain to me–hopefully using graphs, and small words–why Joe Lieberman is willing to share the precious blessing of American citizenship with Charles Manson, Gary Ridgeway, and David Berkowitz, but wants citizenship stripped from a guy who strapped some firecrackers to a bag of non-explosive […]
