“Dear Michelle: Your Garden Is Missing One Vital Component. Pesticides.”
Some things El Somnambulo cannot make up. Those poor benighted souls at the Mid America CropLife Association want everyone to know that veggies w/o pesticides are like…Claymont w/o metallic soot. Or something like that. Their ‘ambassadors’ (that’s what they call themselves) have written, and are urging all ambassadors to write Michelle Obama to show her […]
Deep Media Strategy Thought
President Obama and every single Democrat who is ever on TV or quoted in the newspaper for the next 20 years should work this sentence into every interview, “We all know that the media has a very conservative bias.” Keep keep saying that for 20 years day in and day out. The evidence shows that […]
Wanna Get Depressed?
Read the last 15 or so posts at Eschaton about the Obama administration’s new plan to throw ever more money in the money furnace. They are short. Krugman: This plan will produce big gains for banks that didn’t actually need any help; it will, however, do little to reassure the public about banks that are […]
Just when we thought he was gone…
So long as there is a man named George W. Bush, there will be Bushisms: “I’m going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there’s an authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened.” Freudian slip much, Mr. former President.
Proof Elections Matter: Obama to Improve Food Safety
In the Potemkin Village government of Dubya, there was, for all intents, no protection of the public’s food supply. That will change, and change soon, according to this article in today’s Washington Post. In his Saturday morning address: President Obama announced new leadership and other changes today aimed at improving the safety of the U.S. […]
Obama’s Geithner Problem
Any regular reader of Eschaton can tell you that the only way we can get out of this economic mudslide it to pre-privatize the banks. Normal economic activity can not return unless the bad asset ticking time bombs are all defused. They could also tell you that Geithner is dedicated to bullshitting around the margins […]
Breaking: Mike Castle Slams Obama Speech
This morning Mike Castle slammed President Obama’s address to a joint session of congress saying that Obama has created a “mystical fund” to save banks. The GOP loyalists stopped short of calling President Obama’s remarks the ravings of an economic “witch doctor” but it was clear that Castle has signed up to be a part […]
Don’t Let ‘Em Play the ‘Class Warfare’ Card
Rethugs, many trained by Newt Gingrich, have mastered the art of Orwellian double-speak. ‘Death Tax’, ‘Reaganomics’, and the like. They have used these terms in large part to turn the tax code on its head through Kemp/Roth and the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy while misleading the public with verbal sleight-of-hand. President Obama, starting […]
The Goofs and Oddball’s Party
One Republican claims that we are running out of rich people in this country. Another says that Justice Ginsberg is going to die in 9 months. Still another says that President Obama is not an American citizen. These are not empty headed wingnut talk show hosts like Rick Jensen. They are empty-headed Republican elected officials. […]
Proof Elections Matter: Obama Dumps Bush LGBT Policy
Under Dubya, the US proudly joined the Vatican, aka the Holy See (…No Evil from Holocaust Deniers & Pedophile Priests), and the Islamic world in opposing the universal decriminalization of homosexuality. Cowards that they are, Bush’s henchpersons cited ‘technical issues’ in voting against a non-binding UN Resolution. Thanks to Obama, that opposition is no longer […]
Day 21: Mike Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware
El Somnambulo is proud to present 1,577,219,319 reasons why Mike Castle has betrayed the public trust and has dishonored both his office and himself. In his Rosemary Woods-like contortions to explain away his vote against President Obama’s economic stimulus package, Castle somehow never got around to explaining how Delaware and its citizens would benefit from […]
Debunking a Conservative Meme
The honorable John Feroce posted a picture today which he got from Glenn Beck. The picture shows a bookshelf with Obama-themed children’s books with a large sign above it saying “Religion” It seemed bizarre to me, so I started doing some research. Apparently there are at least two versions of this picture on the Internet. […]
Mike Castle is Losing His Base
The DelawareforObama list is not a bunch of liberal bomb throwers. For the most part they are Democratic ticket splitters who really liked Obama’s calls to rise above partisanship for the sake of the country. Many of them are shaken to see Mike Castle pick the stale factionalism offered by the GOP over the opportunity […]
