What a fun week it’s been
This past week some interesting events occurred. First, there was a special election in Massachusetts and then there was the SCOTUS ruling that says corporate entities (and unions) can’t be limited in advertising bombing the electorate.
That Scott Brown got elected is really a non-issue. People vote and get elected all the time and I don’t [...]
President Obama ran for MA senate seat?
Martha Coakley lost the election in Massachusetts. She ran a poor campaign and was a bad choice for political office, that’s all.
So even without me checking, I know that many people will start touting this as “GOP begins takeover of the Senate! Obama’s going down as a FAILURE!!” None of which is a surprise, that’s [...]
Best Pat Robertson response
This is few days old but the best response to Pat Robertson’s Haiti-devil nonsense. Although The Daily Show has a good response too around 1 minute in.
Giving to the earthquake relief is a good thing and the poor people of Haiti need all the help that can be provided. But why do we suddenly care [...]
Well that would sure end Democracy
No matter what risk to passengers, Unions Must Be STOPPED!
DeMint said Wednesday that he is concerned that Southers would let TSA screeners join a labor union.

Laughable. It must be nice being in the Party of No, not really much to do just complain and [...]
The most important election was decided last night
This morning I heard the results of an election I was following: NY-23 went to Bill Owens.
Just to be clear, NY-23 is a district that is on the Canadian border and except for it being a special election it was no big deal. What made it a big deal is that when a moderate was [...]
Senator Al Franken
Over at BoingBoing is a good video of Senator Al Franken handling unhappy people with calm reasonable discussion. Good job Senator Al.
Factually correct makes it fun reading
The best part of Frank Rich’s article is that his examples are dead on. Michael Steele’s words are just pure comedy gold.
The hearings were pure “Alice in Wonderland.” Reality was turned upside down. Southern senators who relate every question to race, ethnicity and gender just assumed that their unreconstructed obsessions are America’s and that the [...]
Harsh but probably accurate
This pretty much sums up Governor Palin:
“She has an incredibly thin résumé, a serious lack of gravitas, no coherent philosophy and the people around her are amateurs,” another top Republican pol argued. “She’s finished.”
via Alaska’s governor Sarah Palin to resign, dooming her presidential pipe dream.
That’s not to say she wont make the rounds and push [...]
Okay, I don't get it
Sarah Palin to resign as Governor of Alaska. Why would she do this? As governor she obtained real experience and she has made it clear she’s looking for a national office.
When she runs for the Republican nod in 2012, does anyone think that her bailing before any tangible recovery happens in the economy will insulate [...]
The President went on a date, get over it
President Obama took his wife on a date Saturday and some people are going nuts. The RNC I can understand since they are the “ZOMG we lost, now what?!” party. But regular folks who are in arms about this need to get a life.
