The Rise Of The AMWG Syndrome

Politics

Welcome to my newest acronym – Angry Men With Guns. I came up with it while reading this article from Politico talking about the rise in threats against lawmakers. The key passage: Though each threat case is different, the FBI documents reveal some common characteristics. The suspects are mostly men who own guns, and several […]

Local GOP Chair Accuses Driehaus Of Using A “Vulgarity”

Society

Wow – what a potty mouth: Hamilton County Republican chairman Alex Triantafilou accuses Rep. Steve Driehaus of using ‘a vulgarity’ in a fundraising email, and is demanding an apology. The vulgarity: “tea bagger.” The Driehaus campaign calls the GOP release “nonsense” and says “no offense was intended.”  Spokeswoman Melissa Wideman cites the Oxford American Dictionary […]

Misc

Drudge is pushing this right wing rumor that President Obama was checking out some 16 year olds ass while at the G8: Oh and here’s the really bad part. That “Second Stimulus Package” is a joke referring to the picture that links to the picture on Yahoo. Even 6 out of 7 of Drudge’s top […]

Time To Call Their Bluff

Misc

It doesn’t matter what President Obama does. The only thing that matters to Republicans is to oppose it: The National Republican Trust PAC, currently the best-funded and most aggressive independent Republican group, has dispatched a round of letters to Republican senators threatening to go after senators who back President Obama’s judicial nominees. “I encourage you […]

Deep Thought

Misc

Isn’t any stimulus package actually nothing but a big pork package? Even Ted Steven’s “bridge to nowhere” was technically stimulus.

Joe Scarborough Thinks You’re An Idiot

Misc

Just not on Morning Joe, Scarborough said that Obama’s approval ratings will continue to go up because the stimulus package passed and that makes Obama a winner, and Americans “love winners”. Really? The past two years George Bush was able to get whatever he wanted out of Congress, yet look at his approval rating. Also […]

BUSTED!!!!

Misc

If there was ever any doubt that FOX news is the media wing of the GOP, then those doubts can be put to rest thanks to Media Matters: During the February 10 edition of Fox News’ Happening Now, co-host Jon Scott claimed that “the Senate is expected to pass the $838 billion stimulus plan — […]
