Welcome To The Obama Big Tent, Sen. Spector!
Holy filibuster-proof majority, Batman! Sen. Arlen Specter R D-PA has decided to switch parties and run as a Dem! I should think the Hosebags, aka the GOP, are collectively shitting their pants in fury ’round about now. Specter elaborates:
“I have decided to run for re-election in 2010 in the Democratic primary [...] I am ready, [...]

Schadenfreude Monday!
I wonder how long it’s going to be before the GOP start demanding federal money to protect Republican politicians? After all, the right wing think the Endangered Species Act is an essential piece of legislation!

Hog Wild: Swine Flu In The U.S.
In response to the outbreak of H1N1, or swine ‘flu, which has killed more than 100 people in Mexico, the White House held a briefing on Sunday afternoon with the Secretary of Homeland Security, Acting Director of CDC and National Security adviser to the President, in attendance. The briefing didn’t provide a lot in the way [...]

Darwin Totally Messing With Texas
Score one for rational thought! Kind of…
Yesterday the critical thinking faction of the Texas State Board of Education defeated the efforts of their religious idealogue colleagues to ensure the state’s schoolchildren would never be instructed in any scientific principles that contradict their deeply-held fairy stories of creation. Because, you know, science equals alchemy, which was [...]

Diss Wars: Coulter v. McCain
Conservative politicunt Ann Coulter hallucinates about demons of liberal bias whenever a member of the media decides not to interview her or quote her generally inconsistent, regularly factually unsound, and often offensive tripe.
Given her views on the “liberal” media, you’d think the bitch would want to help encourage the development of younger conservative writers, but [...]

Steele Kowtows to the GOPfather
Michael Steele, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, is learning who’s really the BIG boss of the Republican Party.
Steele had the error in judgment to speak ill of Rush Limbaugh in an interview on CNN this weekend. Some of Rush’s fans were shocked God didn’t smite Steele dead on the spot, but the comments provoked [...]

You Cannot Be Serious, Pt. 94: Lurita Doan and Armstrong Williams
The Chairman knows that, in Washington, “shame” is a foreign word. Indeed, so alien is the concept here that the Chairman’s familiarity with it occasionally makes him feel like the old aborigine in Werner Herzog’s movie Where the Green Ants Dream – the only surviving member of his tribe, he speaks a language that no [...]

Palin V. Bailey Hutchinson: Catfight, GOP-Style
Sarah Palin wants to be the top bitch of the GOP, and plans to ensure that no moderate Republican with a vagina gets between her and the 2012 nomination for the Presidency.
Top Republican strategists barely concealed their dismay (and sometimes not at all when they thought the microphones were off) that John McCain had chosen [...]

Reasons To Be Cheerful
It’s finally here, the Bush administration’s last Monday in power, and as a result, I am filled (prematurely) with the joys of Spring.
After all, White House press blonde, Dana “What’s the Bay of Pigs?” Perino has packed up her kit bag and quit, they’re scooping up the last of Barney’s random excretory leavings (if not [...]

Buchanan’s “Blitzkrieg”
Well, this one came out of left field. Is this a sure sign of the coming Apocalypse?
PAT BUCHANAN: Well, the difference is, in my judgment, Afghanistan, that was–al Qaeda was responsible for bringing down those towers. If the Afghans had dealt with them, given us Osama Bin Laden, then we would not have gone in. We [...]

O, Henry.
The GOP and the Bush administration have a way of befuddling me at times. This is a sensation separate and distinct from the strong feelings of disbelief, anger and disgust they can also, on occasion, inspire in me.
It’s impressive, then, that our beloved Treasury Secretary invokes them all at once.
I’m no economist, gentle reader. As [...]

Kitty Lives!
It’s no secret I’m in awe of Michelle Bachmann. I agree Minnesota “deserves better”, and that El Tinklenberg put up a good fight trying to unseat incumbent loon U.S. Representative Bachmann, however, I can’t help but feel glad that she’s still around to bemuse and confound.
Beautiful, determined and reality-resistant, she reminds me so much of [...]

GOP’s Desperate Housewife To Join ABC’s Desperate Housewives?

Neiman Marcus Minneapolis: The Elephant Graveyard
Neiman Marcus Minneapolis appears to be the nemesis of yet another high ranking, high profile Republican politician.
First it was where Sarah Palin spent $75,000 of her $150K shopping spree delayed Goodwill clothing donation, now Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN), currently locked in a tight election race with comedian Al Franken, is facing some tough questions regarding [...]
