Either Mika Brzezinski is trying to spin right wing talking points or she is just downright stupid. Check out this exchanged from Morning Joe where Ed Schultz had to take on the entire cast. Pay particular attention around the 4:20 mark: While Schultz is talking about the terror plot broken up by law enforcement yesterday […]
Orwellian almost doesn’t describe this: Weird. Weird. It’s so weird, the trial balloon foisted by State Senate Majority Leader Michael Waddoups, R-Taylorsville, that would establish a law enforcement database to track the identity of anyone having an alcoholic drink at a bar or restaurant. Let’s make this clear: It’s not government’s business to track which […]
This is a perfect reason why those damn traffic cameras should be outlawed: High school students in Maryland are using speed cameras to get back at their perceived enemies, and even teachers. The students duplicate the victim’s license plate on glossy paper using a laser printer, tape it over their own plate, then speed past […]
It seems like it was only two weeks ago we heard how Iraq was the “central front in the war on terrorism”. Oh wait – it was! That’s what John McCain and Sarah Palin told us, while trying to paint Obama as dangerous threat who didn’t understand the wars we are in. Well now we […]

One part of the email I received from John Boehner’s office has been eating at me all day: Rush Limbaugh’s strong support of and charity for U.S. troops is well established and was even recognized by the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. Unlike radical left-wing groups and their followers, Limbaugh’s goal is to boost troop […]
Will they do the same for Republican Congressman and Giuliani adviser Peter King? A homeland security adviser to Rudy Giuliani came under fire Thursday for claiming there were “too many mosques” in the United States — and defended himself by saying his point was that not enough Muslim leaders cooperate with law enforcement. Rep. Peter […]
First we learn that an admirer of Malkin was allegedly sending those fake anthrax letters to Democrats, or those who do not agree with every damn thing Bush says. Now we have another right-wing lunatic, one Atlas Shrugs, calling for diplomats and people at the State Department to be murdered. From Glenn Greenwald: Pam Atlas, […]
And for another dose of corruption: Lester Crawford, the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner who resigned suddenly in September 2005, was indicted in U.S. court for making false statements related to his investments and conflict of interest. U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor announced the indictment in a court filing today in Washington. Forget the fact […]
