Childish crap like this helps no one: After the House floor had largely cleared following a series of votes, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) split apart from a heated conversation and began yelling at one another. “You’re out of line,” Waters shot while walking down toward the well. “You’re out […]
Just go this: Sure he’ll pay it back, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he did it to begin with. While this asshole was out showboating over his rejection of the stimulus funds, he knew damn good and well that he was abusing taxpayers dollars. This guy is a major fraud and shouldn’t be […]
Bill Maher has made news the past few days for going after President Obama for not being tough enough. Here he is last night talking to Keith about it: Bill is right. President Obama needs to stop being “nice”. The Republicans have shown they have no desire to work with him or the Democrats, so […]
Gallup released a poll today that the right is in love with: A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves “pro-life” on the issue of abortion and 42% “pro-choice.” This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question […]

Well, Specter, take [Sen. John] McCain with you. And his daughter [Meghan]. Take McCain and his daughter with you if you’re gonna… Republican Leader Rush Limbaugh on news of Specter switching parties. That’s a pretty bad statement, but even worse is his rationale for it: …..It’s ultimately good. You’re weeding out people who aren’t really […]
After yesterday’s back and forth of rather or not Jane Harman got the New York Times to hold the wiretapping story in 2004, it is now confirmed. She in fact did: Congresswoman Harman spoke to Washington Bureau Chief Phil Taubman in late October or early November, 2004, apparently at the request of General Hayden. She […]
To prove this is a meme of the Republican Party just take a look at this blog post by Robert Stacy McCain (wingnut extraordinaire!): Let me explain something to you, David Axelrod: Obama and the Democrats didn’t “cut taxes” in a way that will stimulate economic growth. They didn’t reduce or eliminate the capital gains […]
It looks like the Texas House is not all too happy with Rick Perry and his talking of leaving the union, so they gave Perry his own secession – the removal of his office from the state budget: House members virtually wiped out Gov. Rick Perry’s office budget Friday in order to help veterans and […]
