Telling The Baggers What They Want To Hear

February 8, 2010

As we have witnessed in real time…..ex 1/2 term governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, is an opportunist. Sarah is in it for the money, and perhaps the fame. That's why she quit the governor's job. Palin's brief stint as McCain's VP running mate gave her just the right amount of exposure to make leaving the [...]

Cold, Calculated, Cash-Rewarded Lying

February 3, 2010

Frank Luntz, GOP "word consultant", looking like he's squeezing out another loaf of deception.
For many years now, Republicans haven't had any new policy ideas to offer to the American people. By definition, conservatism is against change…unless it's regressive (good old days and all that)…..so no new ideas coming from Republicans is to be expected. It's [...]

Barack, The Wingnut Slayer

January 30, 2010

And I thought Obama's SOTU address was impressive…
Yesterday, President Obama spoke and answered questions at a House Republican retreat in Baltimore. Entire transcript here. It's going to be a cold weekend…..so stay in and take the time to read the transcript or go here to watch the entire event. It's that good.
President Obama spent a [...]

Broken Union

January 28, 2010

President Obama is a great communicator. He proved it again in last night's SOTU speech. Transcript here. He knows how to command an audiences's attention. Obama does something else very well….he speaks the truth. He's not duplicitous. People may not agree with him, but he doesn't lie. That's refreshing after the last administration, however, in [...]

Really….This Is Just Too Good

January 27, 2010

Above is the face, as doofus-like as it is, of the Great American Tea Bagger, James O'Keefe. Along with foxy-looking Hannah Giles, O'Keefe rose to prominence in WingnutWorld by tricking a couple of ACORN employees into saying potentially damaging stuff on camera. Take a good look ….at the Alfalfa-like face of the boy responsible [...]

Sucker Punch 'Em

January 23, 2010

From my December 17, 2009 blog post….
Howard Dean and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have the right idea….table this Christmas present to Big Insurance and Big Pharma….and go the route of reconciliation where 51 votes are all that are required to pass genuine health care reform for the American people.
If the Republicans, and the Village that [...]

Biased Cameras & Microphones

January 21, 2010

Upon claiming his Massachusetts senate seat win Tuesday evening, Scott Brown did what many, many other great warrior, truck driving, leaders have done down the corridors of time…..offered up his daughters…

Immediately, the Tea Party Fact Checkers pointed out that teevee cameras held by "liberal" gotcha guys were exploiting Scott Brown's family Tuesday night…..and that [...]

"Denting" The National Narrative

January 18, 2010

In a Washington Post piece, E.J. Dionne muses about Obama's declining approval numbers and the Massachusetts special election tomorrow to fill Ted Kennedy's vacant senate seat. The piece is worth reading. I'll get to one of his conclusions later in this post.
In the Massachusetts election it looks like the GOP candidate, Scott Brown, just [...]

Hysteria Overload

January 13, 2010

I wasn't going to post on the Harry Reid comment about Obama…..that Obama is "light skinned" and "doesn't have a Negro dialect unless he wants to"….. because there's not much to talk about. Reid, who was praising Obama in his remarks, didn't say anything that wasn't true and didn't mean any of it as a [...]

No One Could Have Predicted

January 12, 2010

Yesterday, we found out that Sarah Palin is going to go to work for FOX.
Man…didn't see that one coming.
From July 3rd, last year…The Reverend on Sarah Palin's surprise resignation of her governorship….
Upon further consideration…."could be more effective outside of government"…..I think, translates into…'I can cash in my instant-celebrity chips right now.'
Bet we see her on [...]
