The DOW Jones suffers it’s largest one day drop in history. DOW when Clinton left office: 10,587.59 DOW Today: 10,365.45 Heckuva job Bushy!

Here’s the video of what I mentioned earlier. Essentially the Republicans are pissed because Pelosi said that it was the Bush administrations ideology and lack of regulation and oversight that lead us to this. Of course she spoke the truth and even McCain said the same thing last week. In other words, the Republicans had […]

Barney gave a good response to reporters when asked about Republicans blaming Pelosi for being too partisan and causing the bailout to fail.

Below the fold is the prepared remarks that Nancy Pelosi read on the House floor that was supposed to be the “partisan speech” she gave which pissed off Republicans. I have read it a few times now and can’t find a thing bad about it. It sounds like the Republicans are out looking for a […]

Except when she is the one being accountable. A quick little video I threw together today of her speech in Ohio:

It looks like the interview of Sarah Palin by Katie Couric last week that we saw may have actually been the good parts for Palin. Reports now say that CBS actually has more video that is much worse for Palin: And the worst may be yet to come for Palin; sources say CBS has two […]

When Obama mentioned the bracelet he was wearing, which bears the name Ryan Jopek, a soldier lost in the Iraq War, the right wing was in a frenzy. Quickly they started decrying the mention of Jopek and said that Jopek’s mother didn’t want him to do that (see here, here, here, here and here). Now […]
