Pro-Life?
A member of the Ugandan parliament who is also a member of the religious group “The Family” (prominent U.S. members include John Ensign, Tom Coburn, Mark Sanford and Bart Stupak – the Cheat Street crew) has proposed a new law in Uganda: The Ugandan parliament is currently considering an “Anti-Homosexuality Bill,” under which any person […]
Flip Floppin’ McCain
I’m not even sure of the best word to describe this story. Is McCain just lying and hoping nobody can remember his health care plan from last year? Is he just become senile? Is he just a douchenozzle? Is McCain bitter, a hypocrite, a liar, a hypocritical liar? John McCain, yesterday, while introducing an amendment […]
Sarah’s Peeps
Do you remember when Democrats were accused of joining a cult of personality and thinking that Obama was the Messiah? M’kay then. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKKgua7wQk[/youtube]
He Was FOR Tough Environmental Regulation Before He Was Against Tough Environmental Regulation
Of course, taking on the “Overregulation” mantra in the wake of Valero closing is largely about an opportunity to push another piece of ideology — one not especially connected to reality. Given that plant’s problems, exemptions and fairly weak enforcement it isn’t as though the State hasn’t been bending over backwards to give Valero the benefit of the doubt. Listen closely to the estimates of possibly cleaning up that plant, think about who will be on the hook for it and then ask yourself if “Overregulation” would have had that result.
God Invented Saline
You have to say one thing for the world’s most persecuted Christian hypocrite (in her own mind) – she just keeps on going, seemingly undaunted by the scandals that dog her. Miss Opposite Marriage gave an interview for Christianity Today to explain herself (from Huffington Post): She also answers a question about her topless photos […]
Mike Castle, He’s Talking About You
Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY9) has been a real hero in the fight for health care reform. He has released a study that shows 151 current members of Congress receive Medicare, the dreaded government-run health care system, including 55 Republicans. All of these Republicans are opponents of the public option. Here is the list: Rep. Ralph […]
Alan Grayson Wants to Know if a Republican Really Knows His Constitution
It is so much fun watching this guy — he is remarkably good at turning the wingnut rhetoric back at them with devastating results. This time he quizzes one of his cohorts Rep. Broun from GA on the law and the Constitution and makes it pretty clear that for all of their talk, walking the walk is still not a GOP goal:
Grab A Mop, Get to Work
So I’m still catching up on the news and watched President Obama speak at a fundraiser in San Francisco. Definitely a red meat speech — as much as he actually does that — but it is a great speech specifically calling out the Party of No:
The Republican Guide To The Stock Market
Steve Benen brings us the rules for watching the stock market, according to Republicans: Just so we’re clear, here’s a helpful guide to the rules of Wall Street watching, as they relate to partisan politics: When the markets went down on Bush’s watch before the 2008 elections, this was Bill Clinton’s fault. When the markets […]
Opt-Out Public Option
When I first heard of the plan to allow states (Red States) to opt-out of the Public Option my initial response was let them. Kinda the same reaction I had to the threats of Texas seceding. It is past time to call these obstructionists on their empty rhetoric. Let them Go Galt. A diary on […]
Late Night Video — Call GOP Senator David Vitter with Your Prostitution Questions!
Senator David Vitter has been up in arms about the whole ACORN business — where a scam prostitution crew tries to get a mortgage — that it seems more than fair to get the Senator to talk about his expertise with prostitution:
More Republican Patriotism
I think a lot of us were stunned yesterday not by Chicago losing their Olympic bid, but at the glee to which the right reacted to the news. If we examine the record, should we really be surprised? It started on January 20 with Rush Limbaugh’s “I hope he fails,” which was echoed approvingly by […]
