Thursday Open Thread

It’s Thursday and the day after the State of the Union address. Amazingly, I’m not hung over. President Obama didn’t say “let me be clear” one time last night (that I caught). Although he did say “Middle Class,” “jobs” and “Main Street.” (My own personal drinking game.) Let’s open this thread. The teabuggers were pretty […]

It’s your TGIF version of your open thread. Let’s roll. I obviously picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue: During an interview with Mike Huckabee last night on Fox News, host Greta Van Susteren said that Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts’ U.S. Senate special election this week “has awakened people there might be […]

It’s Thursday open thread time. Today’s open thread has a theme: racism. The floor is yours. Oh, what is this world coming to when you can’t make a good racist joke among friends? Bill O’Reilly is very very sad that you can’t make “Arab jokes” anymore: O’REILLY: So 48 years ago — 48 years ago […]
