Michelle Obama Likened to Escaped Ape by Prominent South Carolina Republican

I’ve heard some half-hearted non-apology apologies, but this one takes the cake. “I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone. The comment was clearly in jest.” “I am as sorry as I can be…” WTF? UPDATE from Delaware Dem: And here is what they find funny in the Tennessee GOP:

Deep Pedestrian Thought

Filed in National by on May 2, 2009 3 Comments

I used to live in the 17th and the 35th best neighborhoods for pedestrians in the country. Now I live in the billionth best. Funny how “pedestrian friendly” correlates to “high quality of life.” Who would have ever thought those things would be related?

Sure the newspaper business is a dying model.  But the dummies that run the New York Times missed a huge opportunity to make the NYT into the Nation’s liberal newspaper of record.   I think over the last eight years there would have been a huge market for first rate  investigative reporting and commentary from […]

Fixing A Mistake

Admitting that hiring Tim Geithner was a mistake and fixing that mistake would demonstrate to me that President Obama really wants to break away from the bad habits of the Bush administration. Geithner and Bernanke supported bonuses at AIG Chris in Paris · 3/20/2009 10:14:00 AM ET · Link Show them both the door. Maybe […]

Mike, you sure did a great job on those banking and finance committees for all those years! WASHINGTON – The federal agency that insures bank deposits, which is asking for emergency powers to borrow up to $500 billion to take over failed banks, is facing a potential major shortfall in part because it collected no […]

So I guess wingnuts like Malkin are trying to get loony birds and nut bags to protest the economic recovery because …oh I don’t know what motivates these people…anyway… this is funny. …Pajamas Media has started running online ads (spotted on conservative blog Hot Air today), simultaneously encouraging readers to organize their own tea parties […]

In Your Face Wingnuts

Yes. 64% of Americans favor helping other Americans facing foreclosure. Only ridiculous, irrelevent Republicans think that foreclosed people should be scorned and spit upon.

Bank Nationalization Nigh?

With Greenspan on board it might be a matter of time before we own us some banks. (I hope they come with box seats to the Mets!) Anyway, roll this action up with some billions for ACORN and the swift re-imposition of the fairness doctrine (cue scary organ music) along with some abortion clinic construction […]

Regrets, He’s Had A Few…But Then Again, Too Few To Mention

Let me know if you notice something strange. One thing Bush hadn’t shared previously was his thinking about Hurricane Katrina, which up until the financial crisis was seen as his biggest domestic failure. “I’ve thought long and hard about Katrina; you know, could I have done something differently,” he said. Like what? “[L]ike land Air […]

The Nit-Wit in Chief  is going to be hitting the campaign trail this year to “help” Republicans. The President, when he gets out and talks on the campaign trail, regardless of what candidate he is supporting, will talk about the fact that he believes that Republicans going into this fall have the message that can […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 14, 2008 22 Comments

Mine is a Horrible 18 out of 100. Basically, I need to get in the car for EVERYTHING. Check out you score here. Pretty cool. I’d use this thing if I was moving to a new town and comparing houses. Of course you need to check the score with a first hand evaluation. For instance, […]
