Saturday night Wanda Sykes hosted the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. During her presentation she made a joke about Rush Limbaugh. In case you missed it, here it is: When I heard that I knew there would instantly be outrage from the right, and they didn’t disappoint. Just for a little taste of the anger […]
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, […]
19 states now going after AIG for their bonuses. This outrage is not going away anytime soon.
I posted about it last night. It’s where Republican Eric Cantor tried to say that the Democrats voted to let AIG keep their bonuses. Well now that the actual bill is coming up today, the one that gets back the bonuses and prevents this from happening again, Cantor isn’t sure if he will support it […]
Here’s the new outrage from the right. President Obama signed a book deal for an abridged version of “Dreams From My Father” aimed at middle school aged kids.

Attorney […]

Public anger over these AIG bonuses appear to be the final straw: The Obama administration is increasingly concerned about a populist backlash against banks and Wall Street, worried that anger at financial institutions could also end up being directed at Congress and the White House and could complicate President […]
Michelle Bachmann is back in the news, this time lying about the stimulus. She is making the false claim that ACORN will get $5 billion from the stimulus while under indictment. Again – a flat out lie. So I was just thinking about this. If this was even true, then why hasn’t Bachmann voiced outrage […]
Remember all the outrage over state workers breaching Joe the Plumber’s records in Ohio? The media, along with the right wing nuts went crazy over it. You would have thought someone beat the hell out of him. Well here is a story where someone did get the hell beat out of them, and the media […]
