Think Progress has released this video of Mitt Romney in his own words. This is in response to Romney releasing his first ad yesterday, which can be seen here. In the ad Romney sunk to new lows when it comes to deceit: Then, the Romney ad clips a section from the same Obama speech, in […]
A big milestone was hit in Iraq yesterday, yet I doubt the media will talk about it too much: Iraqi commandos showed off skills they learned from U.S. military forces, who Saturday formally handed over control of combat operations to Iraqi security forces. The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. Raymond Odierno, was on hand […]
It looks like the Hispanic population is all on board with completing their census forms: What boycott? Close to 9 in 10 Hispanics say they intend to participate in the 2010 census, with immigrants more likely to say the government count is good for their community and that personal information will be kept confidential, according […]
In 2008 three employees of the city of Cincinnati wanted to volunteer for the presidential campaigns, two for Obama and one for McCain. None of them could though. It turns out that Cincinnati had a law on the books for the past 80+ years that prohibited any political involvement by city employees. The law was […]
My previous post got me thinking even more. The Louisiana Purchase brought us a lot of red states. As a matter of fact, 11 of the 13 states from the Louisiana Purchase voted for McCain in 2008. The devil has to be involved in that somehow. Now it’s time to exit Snarkville and point to […]

With Dorgan out, it’s very likely that a Republican will win that seat. If Ben […]
Al Franken has shown the most balls we have seen from Democrats in a long time, and today was no exception. Here is Al shutting up Joe Lieberman, which then enraged McCain:
Well at least we now know what she was thinking: Speaking to the conservative talker Rusty Humphries today, Sarah Palin left the door open to speculation about President Obama’s birth certificate. “Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?” she was asked (around 9 minutes into the video above). “I think the […]
That’s the news catching on like wildfire this morning – that President Obama has dropped his support for a public option in the healthcare bill. Like most on our side I was at first really upset over this, but instead of starting my screams of anguish, I sat here and thought about it. When you […]
It really is becoming an epidemic of stupidity: Two DeKalb County police officers have been placed on paid administrative leave after an investigation revealed they ran a background check on President Barack Obama. A representative for the DeKalb County CEO’s office identified the officers as Ryan White and C.M. Route. I guess they missed that […]
