Well imagine that. S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford was out for months blasting the stimulus. All the media covered it and his declarations of not taking any stimulus money almost nonstop. Well that has changed: Two months ago, however, with the bright lights of political promise dimmed by a scandal involving an extramarital affair, Mr. Sanford […]
The sage of Target dumping money into political races has been interesting, if not short-lived. Let’s a quick timeline: July 25th – it was revealed that the Target Corp. funneled $150,000 to a right-wing homophobic PAC.

Olbermann went through last night and highlighted all the McCain flip flops that have taken place over the past several years. Damn there’s a lot of them:
Ickes is a member of the DNC and a senior adviser to the Clinton Campaign. Last year he voted to strip FL and MI of their delegates. Now he wants them back in. Why? Here’s the reason: Ickes explained that his different position essentially is due to the different hats he wears as both a […]
