My former U.S. Representative Mike Rogers stopped by the offices of the Livingston Press & Argus yesterday to throw some poop on health care reform. Not only did he throw poop, he told several bald-faced lies including this one: He said a government-appointed panel’s conclusion that women need fewer mammograms at certain ages would be incorporated in the bills. Rogers, […]

It had been awhile since I checked in with National Security expert Super PatriotTM freaking moonbat that is Charlie Daniels (yes, that Charlie Daniels) so I thought I’d hop on over to his website and see what type of drivel he was serving up for the New Year. Mr. Daniels has a blog where he spews his very own special […]

The House just passed an omnibus spending bill that gives some increases in funding to a variety of agencies that were nearly strangled and starved after eight years of the Bush administration. The bill costs $1.1 trillion: The House Thursday passed a huge spending measure combining major spending boosts for domestic agencies and foreign aid with more than 5,000 back-home […]

The Republicans in the House of Representatives are so out-numbered by their Democratic counterparts that they’ve resorted to just being dicks to slow things down. It doesn’t serve any purpose whatsoever except to just be a dick move. They do things like leave their voting cards in their office or use other cards that force them to write in their […]

Cross-posted at Alternet.org. Oh, the faux shock. Oh, the feigned outrage. Republicans and other conservatives have themselves all adither over Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid’s comments comparing opponents of health reform to those who opposed the abolition of slavery. “It’s playing the race card!” exclaimed Michelle Malkin! “It’s outrageous!!!,” yelled Rush Limbaugh! “He played ‘that race card, that slavery card, […]

More evidence that the GOP meme that the stimulus has failed comes this morning. From the Associated Press: The unemployment rate fell to 10 percent in November as employers cut the smallest number of jobs since the recession began. Clearly the Obama administration is failing the American people. Why? Because the unemployment rate didn’t get capped at 8% like he […]

Honestly, is it GOP Amateur Hour in Congress? Okay, dumb question. We know that it is. When you’ve got blusterfucks like John Boehner (R-TanFast), the animatronic talking mannequin, as the spokesperson for the House Republicans and idiots like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman regularly spewing their Crazy TalkTM on the public airwaves, that’s not really in dispute is it? But […]

Perhaps I live in a fantasy world. It’s a world where the things I consider essential are pretty simple: A reliable food supply Clean, drinkable water Access to affordable quality health care A healthy, sustainable environment for me and all living things to live in Unpolluted air to breathe Access to a good, free education I’m sure there are others […]

From my Recommended List Daily Kos diary today. Earlier this month, hidden in the din about the HCR debate, the House quietly passed a bill that, if enacted into law, will help secure our country from terrorist attacks on chemical plants and waste & drinking water treatment plants. The bill was H.R. 2868 and is called “The Chemical and Water […]

The battle for the hearts and minds of Americans regarding global climate change is over. Well, according to the lead climate change denier in the Senate, James Inhofe. Pointing to what he sees as the collapse of the upcoming global summit on climate change in Copenhagen and Senate Majority Leader Reid’s postponing of action on the Kerry-Boxer climate change/green energy […]

Sarah Palin is in Michigan today. Lucky us. Her devotees started lining up last night, in fact. The Sarah! Bus – photo by Rex Larsen | The Grand Rapids Press Why Michigan? Well, according to Palin, it’s because Michigan is where she first “went rogue”. [Michigan is] “the state where I ‘went rogue’ trying to reach out to during the […]
