Well, it’s been a week since the Tea Bagging Extravaganza of April 15th. With that bit of distance, I think it’s time to have a look at what the Tea Bagging Parties were all about. It’s time to call them what they were: The Tea Bagging Parties were, plain and simple, nothing more than Anti-Obama Rallies. When you consider who […]

Well, it looks like I picked a great fucking week to be in Texas. Looks like they are seceding from the nation. Great. As usual, Wonkette describes it best: Texas Gov. Rick Perry is such a badass, right, and he doesn’t like it when those incompetent fucktards in Washington start fucking around with his Texas fucking budget. Ever heard of […]

This edition of Who Said THAT???! brings us a quote from a person who holds a supreme position of judgment. That fact makes this quote particularly bizarre to my sane mind. “I have to admit,” he said, “that I’m one of those people that still thinks the dishwasher is a miracle. What a device! And I have to admit that […]

I was wondering. Brave Combo: I’m just sayin’…

It’s a bright sunny day in southeastern Michigan today. Yeah, we’re reeling from 12+% unemployment. Yeah, our automotive companies are the latest whipping boy for what’s wrong with the U.S economy. Yeah, our two biggest newspapers are not even delivering every day of the week anymore. But today, for one day (or hopefully TWO!), we’re putting that all aside to […]

Bob Cesca nails it again: Insane Republicans Reveal An Insane Budget Plan Makes you wanna laugh and cry, all at the same time. I’m just sayin’…

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos. Citing his need to be well-rested for Saturday’s Final Four games which begin at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, President Barack Obama today announced that he will be returning early from the G-20 Summit in Europe. Additionally, he has cancelled all visits with leaders of various countries around the world including Britain, Russia, China, India and South […]

Allow me to just say this: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! UPDATE: The Washington Independent is reporting that the new GOP “budget” raises taxes on many Americans. Well, except the rich, of course… While reporters hooted at the comically simplistic charts and lack of details in the House Republican leadership’s budget plan, the green eyeshade types at Citizen’s for Tax Justice crunched the numbers […]

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos. The other day, I had a blog entry about how Goldman Sachs was planning on returning their TARP bailout money this week. My diary was about how they were complaining about operating in “this environment” and how I thought they should STFU and deal with it because intense oversight & scrutiny is their new reality. […]

Cross-posted at the Daily Kos. In February Michigan residents learned the unemployment in our state had risen to a national high of 11.6%. That beat the national average of 7.6% handily. This morning we found out that last month it ticked up a bit more and now 12% of Michiganders are unemployed. And it’s probably more than that given the […]

I watched President Obama’s second prime time press conference last night and thought he handled himself pretty well. The press, however? Not so much. There were, of course, some good questions. But two of them really stuck out as particularly worthless and the President still managed to respond well to them. It’s a tribute to his communications skills, I suppose. […]
