People who believe the Republicans want to turn this economy around are sadly mistaken: The concern arises as numerous top Republicans react coldly to the prospect of temporarily reducing the payroll tax burden on employers and employees — to juice the economy before federal spending draws down in the years ahead. Traditionally, and particularly in […]
George Will has bestowed upon himself the duty to name America’s “worst politician”, and declares Alan Grayson the winner: There are hundreds of plausible nominees for the title of America’s Second-Smarmiest Politician, but surely the top spot is un-contested. Americans of all political persuasions can come together in affirming one proposition: Public life would be […]
Not really sure how I take this: During his three-decade legislative career, Schumer, 59, has developed a reputation as a razor-elbowed, shamelessly self-serving, media-addicted political monster. He is also arguably the single most effective lawmaker of his generation. Now, with confidant Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) hanging on to his seat by a thread, […]
If Charlie Crist ends up running as an Independent in the Florida Senate race and wins, the big question is who will he caucus with? I asked this question in a post a couple of weeks ago and now Crist has been asked about it in an interview (via TPM): Q If you win as […]

Booker, who has more than a million Twitter followers, is […]
Yes the GOP has no one else to turn to other than the lunatic birthers. Tonight Louisiana Rep. Charles Boustany will be delivering the rebuttal, and here you can see him in his lunatic crazy fashion. Adding – the GOP had one other rebuttal to President Obama addressing a joint session of Congress. Interesting enough […]
Here is Worst Persons from April 22 of this year. Pay attention to the first person that Olbermann names: Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Just some lonely county commissioner here in Ohio, but now he is planning on becoming a little bit bigger of a name: Warren County […]
The AP’s Ron Fournier is at it again, and with the help of the main headline on Drudge. In a piece entitled “Analysis: Teleprompter telegraphs Obama caution”, Fournier makes it sound like Obama relied totally on a teleprompter during last night’s presser: What kind of politician brings a teleprompter to a news conference? A careful […]
The media is in a frenzy about the Democrats getting ready to “fight” President Obama on his Iraq plan. Of course they are – the media loves anything that might have to do with Democratic infighting. Personally, I support Obama’s plan. Would I like to see all troops out next year? Of course. But I […]
