Filed in National by on April 8, 2012 39 Comments

Texas is one of those places that personify the whole Red State BS — lots of bluster, belligerence and general bellicosity on being self-reliant, not feeding at the government trough and all of that other hooey about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and not relying on the government.  Bloomburg has a great article called, Texas-Sized Safety Net Supports County Voting 83% Against Obama.

You read that right. Arizona H.B. 2549 would make it a crime to be lewd or annoying on the Internets. This bill is on the Governor’s desk for signature. And isn’t interesting that these wingnuts have found one more bit of the Constitution that they want to undermine?

Late Night Video — The Cain Train Wreck

Filed in National by on December 4, 2011 2 Comments

This weekend’s news has been fascinated with the suspension of Herman Cain’s fake bid for the White House. Fake, because he was just opening a campaign HQ this weekend and still hasn’t actually staffed up to properly compete in either Iowa or NH. He *has* been furiously fundraising, selling books and managing his profile. Much like the Alaska grifter and all of the other GOP grifters looking for their pipeline of wingnut welfare, Herman was alot of sound and fury, signifiying nothing. Which ultimately qualified him to be the GOP frontrunner for one New York minute. And that “suspending” business seems to mean that Herman can still raise money.

A Nation of Socialists

It is always amusing to listen to the teajadis and their bleats about socialism or redistributing wealth — especially since you know that most of them are some of the biggest beneficiaries of government handouts on the planet. Now we can see exactly how much redistribution Americans take advantage of and we don’t even *know* that these are government programs:

Why Should Increased Tax Revenues Be On the Table? Because Americans Support More Tax Revenues.

Filed in National by on July 3, 2011 41 Comments

Really, if you have been paying any attention at all to the deficit discussions over the past 6 months or so, you will know that the only people who are against increasing tax revenues — whether that is from increased taxes on the wealthy or closing of unneeded loopholes) — are Congressional Republicans. There has been a decent amount of polling about this over the past 6 months, polling that Bruce Bartlett has rounded up at his blog.
