Remember all that talk about a Palin/Beck ticket? Glenn Beck says it isn’t going to happen and he has really good reasons why it won’t happen: But just a few hours later on his radio show, Beck shot down the idea, saying he was “absolutely” ruling out a Palin-Beck ticket.

I’m glad that Republicans are treating the health care debate with the seriousness that it deserves: Republicans have vowed to fight the legislation at every turn, saying it represents a dangerous expansion in the role of government that would increase taxes and insurance costs for millions of people. “It’s going to be a holy war,” […]

Texans Living In Sin?

This is too funny. Barbara Ann Radnofsky, a Houston lawyer and Democratic candidate for attorney general, says that a 22-word clause in a 2005 constitutional amendment designed to ban gay marriages erroneously endangers the legal status of all marriages in the state. The amendment, approved by the Legislature and overwhelmingly ratified by voters, declares that […]

When You Think It Can’t Get Uglier…

Someone writes this in under 60 words: It’s no fault of the president that he has no natural instinct or blood impulse for what the America of “the 57 states” is about. He was sired by a Kenyan father, born to a mother attracted to men of the Third World and reared by grandparents in […]

A great American president once said this: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. –President Franklin Roosevelt What did he know, he only led us through WWII against history’s greatest villain, Adolf Hitler.

The latest crazy Republican talking point floating around concerns the decision of the Justice Department to try some high profile terrorism suspects in the federal courts in New York.

Is This A Joke?

I’m honestly not sure.  Given all the lunacy spewing out of Republican mouths this comment may not be just a throw-away. Host Chris Wallace pointed out that former Vice President Dick Cheney did not bow to the emperor when he visited Japan. (He did not elaborate on how this difference in greeting affected American policy […]

Hypocrisy and The Art of Judge Blocking

At this point in the last two presidents’ first terms, W had 28 lower court justices confirmed and Clinton 27. Guess how many for Obama. Seriously, guess. Come on just guess before you get to the next sentence. Okay, okay, the answer is six, or 6 for those of you who prefer the numeral version, […]

Conservatives And Their Need To Control Women

Filed in National by on November 9, 2009 35 Comments

For over a year I have pondered over the Republican man-child.  And while I do believe their views on abortion, marriage, and women can pretty much be summed up by saying “it’s about the sex,” I’ve come to realize that that’s only a sophomoric side effect.  It’s really about control – control over women. Grab […]

Cantor’s Inappropriate Response To Dachau Photo

Filed in National by on November 7, 2009 13 Comments

He says the photos are inappropriate. Inappropriate?  Like wearing white after Labor Day?  What an insipid little word to describe that disgusting display.  And since he belongs to the party of “death panels” and “HCR will kill grandma” I know he has it in him to do better than inappropriate.  I also know why he […]

Filed in National by on November 6, 2009 2 Comments

Boy, is there anyone left Republicans aren’t declaring war on? Pence and Reichert suggested that support was the result of corruption inside the AARP and not based on the interests of its membership. “What you’ve got here is a backroom deal,” Pence said of reform measures expected to be introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry […]

Just When You Think Republicans Can’t Get Any Crazier

Filed in National by on November 5, 2009 30 Comments

They go and do something like this: Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA), a candidate in the GOP primary for Governor of Georgia, has announced that he is signing a letter to the White House with several of his colleagues — asking for a copy of President Obama’s birth certificate. But, hey, this might be a winning […]
