With all the debate over Cordoba House in New York, something we never hear about is actual concerns. I’m not talking about the “all brownies are terrorists” kind of crap the GOP and FOX News pushes, but rather if there are any serious zoning type complaints. An example of this can be seen in Connecticut, […]
This is absolutely amazing. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) apologized to BP today for the “shakedown” from the President: This is so bad that even John Boehner is distancing himself from it: House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) broke with a top Republican on Thursday who suggested BP had suffered a “shakedown” by being forced to […]
This one from Reuters really got my blood pressure boiling: US will “push” out BP if spill response falls short The U.S. government will move aside BP (BP.L) from the operation to try to halt the Gulf of Mexico oil spill if it decides the company is not performing as required in its response to […]

The […]
For years we on the left have been saying that George W. Bush was a valuable asset to al Qaeda. His policies and tone alone provided a great tool for al Qaeda to use when it comes to recruiting. Now the terrorist group is facing a new challenge: With Obama, al-Qaeda faces an entirely new […]
A lot of wingnuts are dismissing Christopher Buckley for leaving the National Review. They seem to forget that the National Review wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for his father, who founded the magazine. Buckley shares a sentiment that I hear from countless Republicans, especially the Reagan class of Republicans: While I regret this development, […]
It is getting ridiculous how much we hear stories like this: A Philadelphia teenager celebrating his 16th birthday is fighting for his life after a shooting over a snowball fight. Authorities said the Feltonville teen, identified as Tavin Rutledge, was shot in the head at point-blank range while playing with neighborhood friends in the 4800 […]
