Tea Parties Could Backfire On Republicans

Filed in National by on April 13, 2009 9 Comments

Well, they wanted our attention, and now they’ve got it.  All eyes, cameras and microphones will be on Wednesday’s Tea Parties, and if I were a Republican I’d be very nervous.  For the last few weeks we’ve seen snippets of what’s to come – and it ain’t pretty.  Although I will give conservatives credit.  They’ve […]

Countdown — Two Days Until the Worlds Biggest Teabagging

Filed in National by on April 13, 2009 13 Comments

Does anyone wish this were over yet?  Or is this too much fun to watch?  Do you think that this will be the end of the crazy or do Republicans still have new heights to reach? Witness the awesomeness of a Tea Party in Ohio back in February.  And witness the accepted GOP narrative re: […]

Quote Of The Day

Filed in National by on April 13, 2009 4 Comments

Today’s G.O.P. is, after all, very much a minority party. It retains some limited ability to obstruct the Democrats, but has no ability to make or even significantly shape policy. Beyond that, Republicans have become embarrassing to watch. And it doesn’t feel right to make fun of crazy people. Better, perhaps, to focus on the […]

Can you feel the excitement, the anticipation, the sheer thrill of telling the Administration to take back their damn tax cuts? Yeah, me neither.  More wingnut teabagging news: Jed Lewison invokes his special magic to let us know exactly what is at stake (again, NSFW,people): The Tea-Tantrum Movement — which is what Andrew Sullivan calls […]

Countdown — Four Days Until the World’s Biggest Teabagging

Still don’t have the knack of the Family Friendly!   Teabagging news you can use: Rachel Maddow and Ana Marie Cox do a Pulitzer-worthy analysis of Teabagging, ranging from the FoxNoise complicity, to Senatorial teabagging, to the long term effects of teabagging on the Conservative Movement.  Must See TV: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLsKt4O4Yw8[/youtube] ACORN is taking attendance at […]

Sorry again for the Not Family Friendly title. And this video is definitely NSFW. So plug in your earbuds or wait to watch this at home. And put down any liquids: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F26vC_1_8xw[/youtube]

Countdown — Six Days Until the World’s Biggest Teabagging

That title isn’t Family Friendly, right? Oh well. While we wait for what looks like a practice run for the Rapture from here, take a look at some Teabagging News: Alan Keyes makes the Chicago Teabagging Team! Michael Steele does not make the Chicago Teabagging Team! Teabagging Math (and signage) Fail! (139% tax burden? WTF?)

Wednesday’s Open Thread

Filed in National by on April 8, 2009 26 Comments

Yesterday, we had our first successful open thread with some good discussion and links from our readers. Well done, people, well done. For a starting point, some posts yesterday that you might have missed are that a Republican actually stood up to Rush Limbaugh, Kris Kristofferson is kind of cool and Vermont legalizes it (gay […]

Michele Bachmann Has Serious Problems

Filed in National by on April 6, 2009 32 Comments

She needs mental help, and I’m not kidding. I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go […]

Wingnut Freakouts — Gifts Fit for a Queen Edition

Filed in National by on April 2, 2009 8 Comments

Wingnuts everywhere (including some our local rookie leaguers) clutched their collective pearls yesterday over the fact that the Obamas gave the Queen of England a video iPod. While she already had a non-video 2005 version: So the Queen of England did what lots of people hooked on their iPods do — she asked for a […]

Let’s Look At The Republican Party and Give Beck and Boehner Something To Really Cry About

Steele thinks Obama has a thing with him.  Oh, and by the way, he’s not jealous of Obama being President (“why would he be?”) because he’s the Run RNC chair… and he’s still hip because he part-eeed in college. Limbaugh displays he has the mentality of a twelve year old boy with his flood and […]

Even Their Crazies Have Crazies

It’s pretty bad when Ann Coulter looks like the most sane person in the group – okay, actually it’s pretty hysterical. Oh my goodness gracious!  Now pro-lifers are administering an are you pro-life enough litmus test.  And Ann Coulter’s sputtering.  Pass the popcorn, put your feet up, and relax… Republicans are eating their own.  Why […]
