Once the Republicans took control of the state, the craziness came out. The Ohio House of Representatives approved two bills on Wednesday that would give Ohioans more rights to carry concealed weapons, including one that allows people to carry a gun into a bar. The latter bill allows Ohioans who have a concealed-carry permit to […]
This from Rasmussen really has me scratching my head: Hold the celebration. Most voters expected Republicans to win control of the House of Representatives on Election Day, but nearly as many expect to be disappointed with how they perform by the time the 2012 elections roll around. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds, […]
The whole argument that the Democrats didn’t listen to the American people that Republicans like John Boehner keeps telling us is starting to fail. Look at this from Gallup: As you may know, yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that restructures the nation’s healthcare system. All in all, do you think it […]
Writing in an op-ed in today’s Mooney Times, Jeffery Kuhner floats the idea of impeaching President Obama if health care reform passes. His argument is the same old strawman we have been hearing all week – the “deem and pass” of the House of Representative: Many Democrats could claim they opposed the Senate bill while […]

They are breathing […]
Thankfully Democrats aren’t going to take the NRCC’s latest misogynistic attack on Speaker Pelosi lying down. Here is what Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to say about the NRCC ad saying General McChrystal needed to put Pelosi “in her place”. “It’s evidence they long for the days when a woman’s place was in the kitchen. Now […]
Especially when things like this are being said: The third-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives and one of the country’s most influential African-American leaders sharply criticized former President Bill Clinton this afternoon for what he called Mr. Clinton’s “bizarre” conduct during the Democratic primary campaign. Representative James E. Clyburn, an undeclared superdelegate from South […]
Which party will keep us safe? A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fund-raising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al Qaeda and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan. The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli […]
At least something is getting done: The processed cheese has been replaced with brie. The Jell-O has made way for raspberry kiwi tarts and mini-lemon blueberry trifles.
