With the entire world still mired in a deep recession, the Republicans seem to want the families of homeless veterans to remain homeless. With the entire world still mired in a deep recession, the Republicans have successfully filibustered jobless benefits and state aid. And in case you were wondering if they’ve lost their basic sense of humanity, conservatives also seem...
GOP outrage recap →
jonathan-cunningham:
Let me see if I have this straight: in the last few days members of the GOP have savagely screwed the unemployed, protected the bankstas, trashed Thurgood Marshall, implied rape and incest is part of God’s plan,defended BP, threatened to either end social security or screw over 20 million plus people who have paid into the system for at least 20 years by making them wait...

When I was a sophomore in high school, I was elected the democratic president of my civics class’ mock congress. Running under mottos like ‘who says you can’t have humor in the white house?” and “vote for Lauren: it’s better than eating raw eggs,” I won by what I felt was a landslide. My teacher thought I wanted to get out of the homework assignments associated with being a...

Dear Pat Robertson,
Please, for your own sake and for the sake of those who blindly and mindlessly follow your every utterance, please please please consult a mental health professional at least twenty years ago.

Candidate Rick Barber is CRAZY →
technipol:
Yesterday I posted about Andrew Sullivan’s cynical and hilarious Hewitt Award for overblown attacks on Obama. Well today, Sullivan has another nominee: congressional candidate and Tea Party favorite Rick Barber:
“Somebody has to say this. When Hitler took power, no one wanted to think that the Holocaust, the murder of 6 million Jewish people, was possible. I’m saying that you have...
Texas GOP Official Platform Calls for Imprisonment... →

bollockszine:
The Texas GOP has released their “2010 State Republican Party Platform” and its filled with hate and bigotry. One blogger even likened the platform to being very similar to that of Uganda’s anti-homosexuality bill – and they are absolutely right!
The anti-gayness of the Republican platform began with their principals.
Principal #6 begins, :

stfuglennbeck:
This is a great article and a great video of our favorite newsman Glenn Beck.
An exert:
Beck: What they’re missing is: The pot in America is boiling. And this is just yet another warning to all Americans of things to come.
Actually, Beck has this exactly right. But frankly, it’s boiling because of people like Glenn Beck, ranting hysterically every night about impending...

McChrystal and the media
politicalprof:
General McChrystal’s firing as commander of forces in Afghanistan was both inevitable and correct. No president could put up with such insubordination from a senior leader, civilian or military.
One under-recognized part of the story is how McChrystal appears—and I am not sure this is true, which I’ll get to later—to have forgotten the central dictum of media relations: Every...
