Sarah Palin Expressing her Inner-8th Grade Cheater in Tea Interview?

I’m not sure, but take a look: What is written on Sarah’s hand? Why is she looking at the hand to answer a simple question about the three things that tea party people will do once they “take back” their country. I don’t know that she was acting like an 8th grader in that clip, [...]

Quote of the Day

Image via Wikipedia From Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize speech today: So let us reach for the world that ought to be – that spark of the divine that still stirs within each of our souls. Somewhere today, in the here and now, a soldier sees he’s outgunned but stands firm to keep the peace. [...]

Asshattery in Action

Wow. They really are more stupid than I feared: Apparently, some people think that the President is a racist or fear that they might be called racist if they oppose Obama on anything. . Why? I don’t know. Insecurity? Philosophy? Idiocy? But really. Opposing the President on health  care reform does not make someone a [...]

Obama Follows Through With Campaign Promise – Many Liberals Go Full Moonbat

Image by ~C4Chaos via Flickr I think of myself as someone with solid liberal credentials. In terms of presidential races, I ran for delegate for Jerry Brown in DC in 1992, supported Bill Bradley in 2000, knocked on doors in a snowy and unfriendly Iowa town for Howard Dean in 2004. In 2008, Obama was [...]

ACORN, McCain, GOP, Teabaggery, and a Scary Reality Disconnect

Image by randihausken via Flickr You’ve probably seen this, but it’s astounding: The new national poll from Public Policy Polling (D) has an astonishing number about paranoia among the GOP base: Republicans do not think President Obama actually won the 2008 election — instead, ACORN stole it. I remember before the election last year, in [...]

Dumbest Criticism of Obama Yet

Image by Getty Images via Daylife From Politico: President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he’s already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years. CBS’ Mark Knoller — an unofficial documentarian and statistician of all things White House-related — wrote on his [...]

The New GOP Is Off ‘Da Hook!

Image via Wikipedia If you haven’t been so lucky, you need to check out the GOP’s new website. If you’re lucky, a little Michael Steele will walk on your page and tell you how cutting edge the new GOP site is and how they’re going to be in touch with American communities and whatnot. It [...]

On the Nobel Peace Prize

Image by Getty Images via Daylife I woke up this morning to the news that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace prize. At first, I was baffled. Although Obama has shown incredible promise in the peace arena, I thought the award was premature. But then I thought about it, and the award makes sense. [...]

Nuts Is the New Normal

Image by afagen via Flickr From Public Policy Polling: Is extremism becoming mainstream in 21st century American politics? Our latest national poll would seem to say yes- 35% voters in the country either think that Barack Obama was not born in the United States or that George W. Bush intentionally allowed the 9/11 attacks to [...]

9/12 Tea Party Revisited

More teabagging goodness: On this blog, I’ve written about the tea partiers and how they appear to be mostly white Americans who fear change. It’s not just racism that seems to guide them; they seem to be the kind of people who are easily swayed by any demagogue who leads them to fear the changes [...]
