I noticed a general message giving birth today – that we should have started focusing on Yemen back in the beginning of the whole war on terror. I can’t say I entirely disagree with that, but what makes it post-worthy is that I am hearing this argument from a lot of GOPers, the same ones […]
I got a feeling tweety felt an awful lot of heat today. Transcript via Think Progress: MATTHEWS: Now I’ve heard too many politicians say things like, “oh that was taken out context” to explain something they wish they hadn’t said let me just say to the cadets, their parents, former cadets and everyone who cares […]
Why hasn’t Obama fixed the economy, ended the war in Iraq, caught Osama, given us all healthcare, etc.? That’s the sense you get when listening to these talking heads on TV.
