This am a day for dissing Perry

Friday, November 11, 2011

Like everyone else, I’m still laughing at Rick Perry’s debate blunder. Like fine wine, it gets better with age. But, in truth, it tells us little about the man, as it’s something that could happen to anyone. Well, maybe that’s not quite true, in that it was so obvious that he was parroting a poorly […]

The Republican Way

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Well, last night was a pretty good night, nationally. Perhaps the most satisfying outcome was in Ohio, where the Unions overwhelmingly defeated the forces of evil. But, that victory, satisfying as it was, illustrates the fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans. After a shellacking like that Democrats would allow that the people have spoken, and […]

Just plain weird

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

In case you haven’t seen it. One of the most bizarre political ads ever made. Where do these people come from? Do you ever meet them in real life? How is it that they rule the world? Block is a creature of the Kochs, by the way. UPDATE: Colbert’s take: The Colbert Report Get More: […]

Yet more on the filibuster

Saturday, October 15, 2011

Good discussion here about the fact that Republicans, should they take the Senate next year, could repeal the Health Care Act using reconciliation. Should they take the White House that would mean the act would be repealed. Should Obama be reelected, he would veto the repeal, after which the Republicans would no doubt refuse to […]

Mitt Romney, the Republican’s Dr. Fell

Friday, October 14, 2011

Is there anyone who didn’t see this coming. In fact, hasn’t it been here all along? The teabaggers aren’t happy with Mitt, and some of them are saying that his now seemingly inevitable coronation as their candidate will turn them off. Mitt is, at heart, not a tea party man. He’s Wall Street pure and […]

Where do these people come from?

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

I know that Newt and his wife have long since become mere caricatures, but I can’t resist piling on. I ask you, of the two entities depicted here, which looks more like it’s not quite real. Barbie looks more lifelike than Callista. From TPM.

The Grifter (attempts to) speak

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Wow, when I first read this quote it was at Kos and I thought it was satire, perhaps someone channeling Garry Trudeau channeling Sarah. But no, it’s pure Sarah: “Is a title worth it?” she asked, rhetorically. “Does a title shackle a person? Are they someone like me who’s maverick? I do go rogue and […]

Rick Perry comes close to speaking

Friday, September 23, 2011

I know this is unfair to the girl from South Carolina, who after all is not running for president, but I couldn’t resist.

Willard back on top?

Thursday, September 22, 2011

According to Talking Points Memo, Willard is on the rise: Mitt Romney is on the rebound in Republican primary polls. And there’s increasing polling evidence that he’s by far the stronger candidate against President Obama. Looks like there’s a pattern developing. The new guy or gal comes in and wins their hearts, but he or […]

Who would have believed that Michelle Bachmann really was that crazy?

Friday, September 16, 2011

Apparently there are Bachmann supporters that are totally surprised that she is completely nuts: People close to the campaign … spoke of their frustration that Mrs. Bachmann, who entered the race with a reputation for making unsupportable statements on cable television, has not found the discipline to win credibility with major Republican donors and influential […]
