Following up from last night’s post, here is Olbermann’s coverage of crazy Michele Bachmann, and her constant lies about the stimulus. */ Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

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 […]

Something else has changed in a big way this year – my reaction to the righties. Before I used to get pissed at their lies and hate they constantly spewed out, but now it’s funny, albeit in a very sad way. One example of this was the stimulus debate. Republicans opposed it hands down. Pretty […]

The fact that the stimulus isn’t seeing any Republican votes in the House and only three in the Senate isn’t a sign that it’s a bad bill, it’s a sign that it’s something against a far-right ideology that has plagued this country for too long. A perfect example of this is from the mouth of […]

Oh and they are. They hate this press conference. Let’s look at the wingnut queen Michelle Malkin: Update 8:05pm Eastern. President Obama. “It is only government that can break the vicious cycle.” Jobs, jobs, jobs. Investment, investment, investment. Gag. President Obama claims to be acting on behalf of my children and grandchildren. So talking stimulus […]

Priceless: “In discussing with the American people his approach to the stimulus of our economy, he has first really used some dangerous words,” said Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Republican. Mr. Kyl added, “It seems to me that the president is rather casually throwing out some careless language.” Kyl sure didn’t complain […]

John McCain is acting like he won the election. Check out the video of Mr. “The Fundamentals of our Economy are Strong” defining stimulus and bi-partisanship on the Senate floor yesterday, then ask yourself who America chose to lead us in a new future.

The new jobless numbers are out, and they are worse than expected: Unemployment rate: 7.6% Jobs Lost In January: 598,000 (the most since 1974) Jobs Lost Last 12 Months: 3.5 Million Unemployed Workers: 11.6 million* A note about unemployed workers – this number does not include the so-called “underemployed” number (nor does the unemployment rate). […]

The worse level since 1982, but that’s ok. We aren’t worried about jobs or our houses. All we need to worry about is if the Democrats and Republicans can get along. If we can’t get X numbers of Republicans to agree to the stimulus then that isn’t bi-partisan and no one in this country wants […]

Because the American networks fuck it up. Right when Obama was talking about the stimulus and House Republicans with Matt Lauer, NBC loses audio. Great work there guys!
