Now this is an irony. The same group of idiots who have shown an outpouring of love for Rep. Joe “you lie” Wilson have engaged in lying about how many showed up to their racist march yesterday. ABC News has gone on the defensive against these liars: Conservative activists, who organized a march on the […]
Something I wish President Obama would have mentioned last night is that there isn’t a bill. For the last couple of months the Republicans have been talking about “how bad this bill is”. Some are referring to the bill that came out of a House committee, and others are talking about other proposals floating through […]
Max Baucus, lap lizard for the insurance industry, has come up with his own plan: Just as auto coverage is now mandatory, so would a requirement that all Americans get health insurance. Penalties for failing to get insurance would start at $750 a year for individuals and $1,500 for families. Households making more than three […]
I have heard a lot of support for President Obama’s speech to school children from a lot of unsuspecting allies on the right, but the latest is a real shocked. Newt Gingrich has tweeted: Just read President Obamas speech to students.white House posted it. it is a good speech and will be good for students […]

The plan is to turn a “day of fear” […]
President Obama is getting more forceful in his fight for real health care reform, which is a much welcomed site. Yesterday he started invoking FDR and reminding people how the Republicans opposed social security. Then during the Johnson years they opposed Medicare. In both fights the GOP labeled the people pushing for change as “socialists”. […]
Just a couple of months ago the LGBT community was in an uproar over the Obama administration’s defense of DOMA. Now that is changing: The Obama administration distanced itself Monday from legal arguments it had made earlier this summer, taking pains to remove and renounce language that had outraged advocates in the gay community in […]
There were at a minimum twelve people spotted at a presidential even yesterday carrying sidearm’s and/or assault riffles. Here’s a report from CNN on the madness. Embedded video from CNN Video I really think these people are more proud of their egos than their right to bear arms. Think of it as the child who […]
Matt Taibbi: I’ll say this for George Bush: you’d never have caught him frantically negotiating against himself to take the meat out of a signature legislative initiative just because his approval ratings had a bad summer. Can you imagine Bush and Karl Rove allowing themselves to be paraded through Washington on a leash by some […]
