There is a silver lining to what happened today. Congress is in recess until Thursday, meaning they could pass something on Thursday, but that is not very likely. That means we got a debate Thursday night with Sarah Palin and Joe Biden and the economy will be brought up. Considering Palin’s dismal responses to Couric’s […]
Yup – that’s what the wingnuts are saying. John McCain says “horseshit” not once, but twice, during a nationally televised debate and the crowd who screams and yells every time a word slips out on a liberal blog, calls this being a maverick. Unfuckingbelievable. Let me give you a glimpse of how the wingnut blogs […]
Here is a possible motive for McCain’s game I hadn’t thought of : McCain’s ploy was transparent. To counter the public’s preference for Obama’s economics over his own, he would get both of them in a room and emerge proclaiming that they had reached agreement, that they had no differences.

They wanted him “to throw some red meat to the crowd… To […]

At least 60 people were wounded in the blast, said Karim Al-Tamimi, a police lieutenant from Babil province where Iskandiriyah […]
So it has started. Anderson Cooper starts off by announcing they have 2,000 more questions than the Democratic debate, and the crowd goes wild. Gee it only took 4 months extra for them to put out 2,000 extra videos. UPDATE 8:15 FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Rudy and Mitt going at each other about immigration. This is […]
