More evidence of Stimulus Fail: Unemployment drops in Nov.

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.

Sen. McConnell: Let’s use Stimulus money to pay for war!

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?

Sarah Palin, Feminist. Remember that? So WTF’s up w/Todd?

In Sunday’s edition of the combined Detroit Free Press and Detroit News (they publish jointly on Sundays), Detroit News Editorial Page editor and all around numbskull Nolan Findlay had an editorial titled “Bet on it: ACORN will be back”. The mind-blowing thing about it is that man like Nolan, immersed daily in the news of the day/week/year, still manages to […]
