Since the oil started flowing 83+ days ago there have been those on the right floating conspiracy theories. They range from “Liberals blew up the well” to “Obama doesn’t want to stop it quick so it looks bad”. Well now we have one of these claims coming from an actual GOP member of Congress. Here’s […]
From the Party of Family Values: LEXINGTON – Former state Rep. Steve Nunn had pornographic images of girls between the ages of 10 and 12 on a hard drive recovered after his ex-fiancee was found murdered last fall, a Lexington police detective said Thursday.

I meant to hit this story yesterday. It also exemplifies the problems I’ve posted about in the past when it comes to MSNBC. Markos and Joe Scarborough got into a little Twitter back and forth a couple of months ago: JoeNBC: The Sestak story is as unbelievable a cover story as Nixon throwing little Checkers […]
Leave it to the great minds of Louisiana politics, following their fearless leader of Bobby Jindal to come up with this plan: Jindal’s office said Tuesday the governor acted on the bill in the past few days after receiving it June 20.

Back in 2006, former Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) made national news when he called firefighters “lazy bums’. Three months after that Burns was unemployed and Jon Tester became the new Senator from Montana. Now we have another story, very similar in nature. From TPM: Rep.

I guess the first amendment is null and void: A photographer taking pictures of a BP refinery in Texas was detained by a BP security official, local police and a man who said he was from the Department of Homeland Security, according to ProPublica, a non-profit news organization in the U.S. The photographer, Lance Rosenfield, […]
The chairman of the RNC has done it again. Check out this video of him blasting and lying about the Afghanistan War. In this Steele calls Afghanistan a “war of Obama’s choosing”. Does this moron even know who decided to invade Afghanistan? Does Michael Steele and the RNC believe that those who senselessly murdered 3,000 […]
If the Republicans don’t win the House back in the fall, then they have a backup plan: Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) is trying to foment a long-shot Democratic rebellion against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that would install House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) in her place after the November elections.
