The Republicans have once again said “fuck middle America” and spent their time giving tax breaks to the rich: The Senate gave final approval Thursday to a $70 billion election-year package of tax cuts that will extend lower rates for investors and also save billions for families with above-average incomes. The Senate passed the measure […]
Just now coming in that a grand jury in Frankfort, Kentucky has indicted Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher on misdemeanor charges in connection with state hiring practices.

Instead of forcing the same agony upon all of you, I figured I would highlight a couple things that really got my attention: It’s pretty pathetic when a Kennedy is too drunk to drive into the Potomac. After the visibly intoxicated Rep. […]
This could turn into something big: A coin dealer and major GOP fundraiser asked Wednesday to change his not guilty pleas to federal charges that he illegally funneled donations to President Bush’s re-election campaign.
