Think Progress is reporting that a McDonalds in Canton, Ohio included a pamphlet in employee’s paychecks urging them to vote Republican next week. This action is an apparent violation of the Ohio Revised Code (3599.05): No employer or his agent or a corporation shall print or authorize to be printed upon any pay envelopes any […]
Out of Kentucky comes one of the biggest problems of the secret campaign donors the Supreme Court has allowed: In the bitter U.S. Senate race in Kentucky, a local millionaire has helped launch a barrage of ads attacking the Democratic candidate a candidate who, as the state’s attorney general, is prosecuting the businessman’s nursing home […]
Now that we are 5 days away from Election Day, we need to start asking ourselves what our future holds. By all odds we are looking at Republicans regaining control of one house of Congress, if not both. But what are our new leaders promising us? Let’s look: – Repeal healthcare – Extend Bush tax […]

Keith Ellison (D) in Minnesota’s 5th District. The Maddow show […]
This time we go to the “law professor”, Ann Althouse: Are the men in the T-shirts also from Moveon.org? Who were they? There were no arrests and though there was a crowd, no one bothered to have detained these men. Did they just melt back into the night? It’s very convenient that these bad actors […]
The ick factor has just reached a whole new level: Add this to list of bizarre and unusual campaign trail antics: at last week’s Tea Party Express rally in Phoenix, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio welcomed Sarah Palin with a pair of pink underwear. “I just got done welcoming Sarah Palin to our County.
