Outrageous Salaries Sponsored By For Profit Healthcare

Society

MSNBC has published a list of the 10 highest paid CEOs in America for 2011. While going through the list, a couple of names really stuck out: 9. Ronald A. Williams Company: Aetna Total 2010 compensation: $57.8 million Shares of Aetna, a major health insurer, were down 7 percent in 2010, underperforming the S&P 500 […]

Mitt's Big Bin Laden Flip-Flop

Misc

It’s hard keeping up with all the flip flops of Mitt Romney (as well as Newt Gingrich), but Mediaite has caught him in a doozie of one: At Christmastime, it’s comforting to know that a Mitt Romney interview is the gift that keeps on giving. On Wednesday’s The Daily Rundown, host Chuck Todd drew a […]

Democrats Are Winning The Payroll Tax Cut Fight

Politics

Republicans are getting nervous, and I mean really nervous. They have painted themselves into a corner by opposing the payroll tax cut and are now even fracturing. The nervousness can be seen by what today’s Wall Street Journal editorial board is saying: The GOP leaders have somehow managed the remarkable feat of being blamed for […]

Chickenshit Boehner

Politics

The House will vote in a bit on a motion to “disagree with the Senate” on the payroll tax cut. Why is that? Because then House Republicans can spin and lie saying they didn’t vote against the tax cut. It’s one of the most cowardly moves by a leader playing whore to the extremists in […]

Newt or Romney – Which Is Better For Obama?

Misc

Lately I have been thinking a lot about which candidate would be better for President Obama to have to face next year. It’s a very important question with the first primary voting starting in a couple of weeks.

Lessons From Last Night's Debate: A Desire For An Imperial Presidency

Misc

I watched last night’s debate and one thing really stuck out at me. The right still has a desire to have an imperial Presidency. First to take a swing at this danger ball was Rick Perry. He declared that if he was elected President that Congress would become part-time. That’s a very outrageous claim given […]

Setting The Record Straight On Iraq

National Security

This is one of those posts where I feel a need to cut through the bullshit out there and call out both sides when it comes to Iraq. Yesterday President Obama marked the actual end of the Iraq War. There was no aircraft carrier landing or “mission accomplished” banner. Instead it was done in a […]

BREAKING: Dems Dropping Millionaire Surtax

Politics

And the rich get an early Christmas present: In what would be a major concession, President Obama and Senate Democrats will drop their insistence that a surtax on millionaires pay for extending the payroll tax cut, a Democratic source tells CNN. This would be part of a new Democratic offer. I don’t really blame the […]

The Tea Party's Perceived Race Problem

Misc

Following up on my previous post about a new PPP poll out of likely Republican voters in Iowa, I want to point out a very important issue buried deep in the crosstabs (PDF). Since it’s inception the Tea Party has been viewed as being fueled by the fact President Obama is black. This is no […]

Big Government Fears At Near Record Levels

Politics

Gallup has a new poll out showing Americans fear big government more than anything else. Here’s the results: Needless to say this poll is making its rounds on the right, but I would like to see a further breakdown of this poll, asking what fears. It’s no secret that many people don’t know what laws […]
