Republicans demand mercy

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

You truly couldn’t make this sort of thing up: House Republican freshmen admit that their so-called “MediScare” attacks on Democrats helped them win a big majority in 2010. Democrats had voted for the health care law, which included $500 billion in “cuts” to Medicare — primarily slashing overpayments to private insurers — and Republican challengers […]

This guy makes Paul Ryan look smart

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

This is truly incredible, and yet totally unsurprising. The very serious folks have been telling us that we must take the advice of the Simpson-Bowles Deficit Commission and solve the (nonexistent) social security problem. They pretty much consistently ignore the fact that the Commission never issued an official report, and that the only recommendations were […]

This is indeed a factual statement

Thursday, April 14, 2011

A series of them in fact. I am absolutely incensed at the unfair treatment to which Jon Kyl, a man whose status as a US Senator proves that national decline is not imminent but in fact is occurring as we breathe, has been subjected. I especially abhor the relentless attacks upon this man by Stephen […]

Surreality Show

Donald Trump is leading the pack. The Republican party has jumped the shark. Okay, it jumped it long ago. But, just imagine a Trump candidacy in the real world, if there even is such a thing in this day and age. What’s even more bizarre, if I had to rate the Republican clown/candidates in terms […]

Next, he’ll take on Mom and apple pie

Friday, April 8, 2011

The only thing that keeps Democrats in the running, politically, is the hubris of Republicans and their propensity to overreach, since they actually believe people elect them to do the things they deny they want to do while campaigning. Great example today on the hubris front, apart from cry-baby Boehner’s act in Washington. New Jersey […]

Sign me up!

The same folks who launched a laughable effort to get Michelle Bachmann elected speaker of the House (a bit premature, but given the trends, her time will come) have now started a movement to draft her to run for President. Well, I just couldn’t get worked up about making her Speaker, but I’m 100% behind […]

NH Teaparty Republican admits to massive Republican ignorance

Sunday, March 13, 2011

While in New Hampshire, Michelle Bachmann gave the state credit for the battles of Lexington and Concord, telling a group of like brain dead legislators: “You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord,’’ … “And you put a marker in the ground and paid with the blood of […]

True Colors

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

Fairly incredible. A hoaxster from the Daily Beast poses as David Koch and calls Scott Walker. There are two parts. The youtube is titled Koch Whore: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and that pretty much says it all. The hoaxster, we must hope, did his research to get a Koch sounding voice and mannerisms, because otherwise […]

Heads they win, tails we lose

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

I understand that Jon Stewart has compared the Wisconsin situation to the Bizarro World in Superman, with the protestors being the Bizarro World equivalent of the tea party folks. Superficial, but ultimately wrong, beginning with the fact that the folks in Wisconsin have reality based grievances. But there is a kernel of truth in his […]

Gud Wryting at the Dey

Punditry can be a demanding avocation. Today, for instance, I tried to pen something about Glenn Beck, Wisconsin, the Koch Brothers, and the infinite capacity of American’s to be deluded into voting for their own oppressors, but it just didn’t come together. All that work, and nothing to show. The article will remain forever embedded […]
