A gift for the Democrats

Monday, May 21, 2012

One nice thing about the modern Republican party is that so many of them can’t help themselves. They are reflexively pro-rich, and reflexively against anything more than one Democrat is for. Sometimes, they react before taking time to think, meaning they do quickly what they would do anyway, because true thinking is hard. Case in […]

Business as usual for the Democrats

Monday, May 14, 2012

Sigh… This is the kind of thing that is all too typical of the Democratic party: Wisconsin Democrats are frustrated with the lack of national support in the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker, and in what’s likely an effort to pressure the Democratic National Committee to pitch in, they’re airing their frustrations to Greg […]

Will they know it when they see it?

Monday, May 7, 2012

The IRS is grappling with a problem that only a lawyer, and a demented one at that, could take seriously: Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, the political ad-buying organization cofounded by Republican strategist Karl Rove in 2010, has officially submitted its first tax forms with the Internal Revenue Service, and as expected, the group is formally […]

Wall Street repaying Scott Brown

Wednesday, May 2, 2012

Looks like the financial industry has found a way to funnel piles of money to Scott Brown without the mess and bother of donating directly to his campaign fund, to which, in any event, they are limited to a mere pittance. The Boston Globe reports that they’ve been funneling money through a special RNC committee, […]

Business as usual

Monday, April 30, 2012

I, of course, don’t know the whole back-story on this. Maybe, really, truly, the guy wasn’t encouraged to resign. But isn’t it time that the Obama folks just started saying “fuck you” to these people, instead of throwing their own under the bus?

Fraud legalized

Tuesday, April 10, 2012

Required reading. Just when you think you can start loving Obama again, he does something like this. (Not to excuse the many Congressional Democrats who voted for the thing just because they were afraid of the acronym, or the others who are pocketing Wall Street money.)

Obama takes the gloves off-finally

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

Sounds like Obama did a great job unloading on the Republicans today, and, quite predictably, the whiner’s chorus has commenced. This kind of thing just gave Paul Ryan the vapors: “Our entire financial system was nearly destroyed. So we’ve tried this theory out. And you’d think that with the results of this experiment of trickledown […]

Freedom of religion in the New Gilded Age

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

 We have recently been apprised of a newly discovered age old constitutional principle. Actually, two, if we want to go back a few years for the second. Senator Blunt, (R-MO), tells us that his proposal that all employers be allowed to impose their moral values on their employees is merely a restatement of 225 years […]

Opposing birth control no political winner

Thursday, February 9, 2012

A few thoughts on the ginned up birth control controversy. First, Obama cannot win votes by caving, he can only lose them.  From what I understand, the pundits are convinced that this is a big deal, believing as they always do that the great unwashed are too stupid and unsophisticated to do anything but side […]
