Got this in an email from the Tea Party Nation today: If you could fog a mirror in 2008, you no doubt saw the terrible effect the drive by media had on the election. They might as well have been the advertising arm for Barack Obama. Yeah remember that? Muslim and “not American”? Reverend Wright? Palling around with terrorists like […]

…before we can just laugh them off as a joke that nobody — and I mean NOBODY! — takes seriously anymore??? From Dave Weigel: Cornyn and Thune Defend the Earmarks They Requested and Will Vote Against Seriously. These two morons are actually defending earmarks that they themselves put into a bill and now claim they will vote against because, by […]

Politico is reporting today that Michigan Gov. Granholm may become part of the Obama administration. It comes as part of an overall shake-up of the White House staff that will give David Plouffe, mastermind of the 2008 Obama for America campaign, a more central role as senior advisor. He will replace David Axelrod who will move into campaign management mode. […]

In an op-ed in the Washington Post yesterday, U.S. attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. and secretary of health and human services Kathleen Sebelius make a compelling case for the Constitutionality of health insurance reform law. Roughly 20 cases question the new law’s individual responsibility provision, which says that Americans who can afford to must maintain basic health coverage. Federal […]

Via Think Progress: Earlier this year, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, an 17-year Army veteran, refused to report for duty at Fort Campbell, KY because he said his orders emanated from an illegal President who is not a natural born U.S. citizen. As such, Lakin said he had “no choice” but to disobey the orders and that he would “gladly deploy” […]

The wheels just fell off the Tea Party Nation bandwagon. I realize it’s not news that the teabaggers are looney tunes. But today’s screed from Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips is off the rails. I can literally see him frothing at the mouth as he screams it to his followers with veins bulging on his neck. Take home message: […]

Last night the Senate voted for cloture on the tax cut deal the Obama administration negotiated with the Republicans. The vote was 83-15. When was the last time the Senate voted as nearly a single voice on anything?! Somehow this will get spun as a horrendous failure for the president I’m sure. I’m guessing the several million people whose unemployment […]

Gee, what surprise. Turns out most Democrats think Congress should pass the tax cut deal hammered out by president Obama. So says a report by the Pew Research Center and another by ABC News/Washington Post. Republicans like it about the same or even a bit more. Pew Research says 63% support it. ABC/WasPo says 68%. Most of the major self-described […]

Still trying to figure out if I should be offended by this or just amused. At least it comes with a “convenient drip tray”, right? I’m just sayin’… If you enjoy what you’re reading here, please consider sharing it on your Facebook page or submitting it to Reddit or other sites using the links provided under the “Share button” below.

A federal judge today ruled in favor of a Virginia law that declares part of the newly-enacted health insurance reform law unconstitutional. The specific part of the new law in question is the individual mandate that requires all Americans to have a minimum level of health insurance or face a tax penalty. It will likely be decided by the U.S. […]

Oh, whatever. Cry me a damn river. John Boehner has a sad because the President “disrespected” him. We met at the Capitol the day after the president announced the new tax deal. When Stahl asked him about the president, he dwelt on their differences. Lesley Stahl: What do you think of him? Rep. John Boehner: I think he’s engaging. Certainly […]
