Appearing on the Washington Times right now: Obama skips Polish funeral, heads to golf course And when you read the article, you start getting an eerie feeling of déjà vu: Mr. Obama has played golf far more often than former President George W. Bush. In his eight years in office, Mr. Bush played just 24 […]
I can’t help but laugh every time I hear some Republican say “passing this bill [health care reform] will cost the Democrats in November”. I keep wondering to myself if Coach K is calling up John Calipari and saying “if we meet in final four and you run a zone defense, it will cost you […]
The biggest reason I have been very pessimistic about the possibility of us seeing health care reform this year is because of the problems in the Senate. I know a lot of people have maintained that we already have a bill that passed the Senate, but we do have to remember that our Congress is […]
TPM has obtained a list of new talking points being about the Scott Brown victory being circulated by Democrats: It is mathematically impossible for Democrats to pass legislation on our own.

Oh boy – John McCain is contemplating suspending his campaign again: Do it John – it worked so well for you last time!
(wow I haven’t had to pull that one out of the archives in awhile) This is absolutely hilarious. Jean Schmidt has decided to give her campaign the back seat so she can focus on the bailout. Really? She is a junior Congressperson, doesn’t sit on any committee that matters in this crisis and not a […]
April has been a deadly month for our troops and this latest tally pushes the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq past 100: Five U.S. troops were killed in separate attacks in the capital this weekend, including three in a single roadside bombing, the military said Monday, pushing the death toll past 100 in […]
