Their is still furor on the right over that DHS report. I particularly like this line: Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the House Republican leader, said Wednesday he was offended that veterans were characterized as potential domestic terrorists Yeah – how could we assume military veterans would become domestic terrorist! Timothy James McVeigh (April 23, […]
John Boehner is nothing but a liar. For the latest proof from this, check out the letter sent from an MIT professor to Boehner asking them to stop misrepresenting a report on cap and trade limits.
The Morning Joe crew had fun with Glenn Beck’s constant tears this morning: I wonder who all these pansies are that watch Beck’s show? I mean men don’t cry – right? That’s what the Republicans said when Joe Biden got choked up talking about the death of his wife and daughter. I mean just ask […]

But damn this is bad. From our local newspaper: U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp., visited Iraq today, Feb. 6, and praised American progress after the war-torn nation successfully held provincial elections last week. Not only did they get Boehner’s position wrong, but they totally screwed up which party controls Congress. This is […]
