“President Obama hosted Republican leaders for lunch at the White House. Obama had to do without salt, bread, pepper, and butter, but not for health reasons. The Republicans refused to pass anything.” — Jay Leno I’m just sayin’…

This ought to be good. Anti-union right-wingers are holding an “I Stand With Walker” anti-union rally at the capitol building in Madison tomorrow. It’s being promoted by Rush Limbaugh wannabe conservative radio host Vicki McKenna. She posted this on her Facebook page today: BOOK IT: capitol rally for taxpayers, noon on SATURDAY! bring cleaning supplies to clean up the pigsty […]

The 211th Congress, under the crack leadership of Nancy Pelosi, passed a Wall Street reform bill that, while fairly tepid in its scope, went much further than any legislation of its kind in decades. It will come as no surprise to you that Republicans are doing everything in their power to make sure Wall Street reform never gets a chance […]

When President Obama talks about part of Medicare reform being cracking down on fraud, this is what he is talking about: In the largest federal Medicare fraud sting in the nation’s history, authorities arrested 111 doctors, nurses, physical therapists and others in Detroit and eight other cities Thursday for allegedly submitting more than $225 million in bogus bills.

NOTE: This entry has been updated HERE. I usually enjoy the New York Times, but their latest article about Michelle Obama’s promotion of breastfeeding is absolutely ridiculous. In general, the right-wing outcry against what the First Lady is doing is ludicrous on its own. It should be heralded as such and Michelle Obama’s effort to promote the health of babies […]

Okay, one blog despite a raging sinus infection. Ben Smith at Politico reports that OFA Wisconsin is helping organize the protesting public employees in Wisconsin: The Democratic National Committee’s Organizing for America arm — the remnant of the 2008 Obama campaign — is playing an active role in organizing protests against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s attempt to strip most public […]

I’ve been laid low by a nasty virus, possibly a sinus infection. Blogging will resume when I can breathe normally again and stay awake for more than an hour at a time. I’m just coughin’…

After spending most of last year promising her Tea Party followers that she was going to repeal Obamacare, it appears that Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann just now learned how laws are made. Steve King and I are best friends. And we both want to get Obamacare defunded. That’s the must have. The problem is the only way we could do […]

Today at 1:30 p.m., President Barack Obama will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Congressman John Lewis. Representative John Lewis from Georgia was a pioneer in the Civil Rights Movement, a man jailed over 40 times, beaten and bloodied for his views and actions. He attended President Obama’s inauguration as the only living speaker from the rally at the […]

Reader janicket (who often comments here) claimed her horse liked to play with the broom and pretend to sweep the stall. I challenged her to provide proof and told her I’d make that horse an internet star. Well, here’s the proof: Wait, is he saying “neener, neener, neener!”??? I’m pretty sure he is. More photos HERE. I’m just sayin’…

You know all those Chuck Norris jokes? Where he’s so powerful he does unbelievable things? Well, Chuck Norris is unbelievable, alright: [J]ust this past week, some of our state’s educational administrators joined the feds in seeking to mandate Arabic classes for Texas children. No joke! He’s right, it’s not a joke. It is, in fact, completely untrue. The district had […]
