Joe Conason has a very enlightening piece up about Mike Huckabee and his addiction to letting criminals walk free. In the article Conason points out something very interesting, yet missed in this debate: Huckabee has proudly declared on many occasions that he disdains the separation of church and state, insisting that his strict Baptist piety […]
The Black Friday results show what was to be expected – a rather blue Christmas for retailers: As the closely-watched Black Friday weekend winds down, a National Retail Federation survey conducted over the weekend confirms the expected: more people spent less. According to NRF’s Black Friday shopping survey, conducted by BIGresearch, 195 million shoppers visited […]
Seattle police have fatally shot Maurice Clemmons, the suspect in the slaying of four Lakewood police officers.
One of the biggest turnarounds in the blogosphere this year has been that of Little Green Footballs and their head honcho Charles Johnson. As this year has progressed we have seen Johnson break more and more with the wingnuts and conservatives on issues. Last night he laid out his reasons: 1. Support for fascists, both […]
There we have Drudge pushing a story about nine murders/suicides in Chicago over the holiday weekend. This has been an obsession of Drudge since Obama became our President.

I’m sorry but these congressional campaign committees should stay away from primary battles. We saw what happened in NY-23 a few weeks ago, but the DSCC apparently didn’t: Secretary of State Elaine Marshall is leading other candidates in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate by a wide margin. Marshall is the choice of 42 percent […]
Very powerful, especially this line: With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics I have always broke with the rest of the left on Afghanistan, but I do believe that the situation requires less troops – not more. This […]
I absolutely love Family Guy. It’s by far one of my all time favorites. Last night they really had some fun with Chris Matthews, and Matthews apparently enjoyed it since he did his own voice in this segment:
Absolutely fucking amazing. Scarborough dishonored the memory of the slain officers just to protect his BFF Huckabee. MSNBC should hang their head very low in shame today and Morning Joe should be cancelled. UPDATE: Within 8 minutes of his show starting, Dylan Ratigan started covering the shootings. NBC even has a reporter on the scene, […]
