Apparently. But then again, why does this surprise anyone? After all, this administration doesn’t seem interested in reading the laws they write and pass themselves, so why should they be expected to take the time to read someone else’s.
I find this disturbing. It was written by Tim Wise, an anti-racist writer. Here is his take on the Tea Party movement : Let’s play a game, shall we? The name of the game is called “Imagine.” The way it’s played is simple: we’ll envision recent happenings in the news, but then change them up […]
From Andrew Sullivan: In a really smart post, Ross Douthat considers whether conservatism benefits from Fox News. It seems clear to me (and Ross) that the rise of the FNC/Talk Radio machine has led to great political success in some respects for a rump right in dominating the discourse, but has led to concomitant and […]
Mike Huckabee, who is against gay marriage, said this: “I don’t have to prove that marriage is a man and a woman in a relationship for life,” he said. “They have to prove that two men can have an equally definable relationship called marriage, and somehow that that can mean the same thing.” Disregarding the […]
I have the biggest smile on my face right now. The heath care reform bill Congress was so demanding that everybody like, and that would guarantee better health care,… er, I mean mean cheaper health care… er, more health coverage for all, turns out, may have a nasty unintended side effect; those same Congressmen and […]

If the usually inept Obama worshiping Newsweek felt the need to take notice, then it must be worse than we thought. Of course, you could look at the subtext of the article and surmise it’s the fault of everyone around Obama, and not the man himself.
I was writing another post concerning the current health care reform bill, but got distracted by the news of the leaked preliminary CBO analysis, and figured I might as well combine the two posts and deem it one. The CBO projects this legislation will save the federal government $130 over the first decade, and $1.2 […]
OK. I know it’s a silly publicity stunt. But given the piss poor performance of our representatives over the last few years, and given that they’ve all mostly been bought off by special interests, why not just skip the middle man and do this? At least we’ll be getting some sort of transparency, and we’ll […]
From a new news report on Congressman Eric Massa’s groping scandal. He had a history of doing similar thing while in the navy. He is some tidbits reveal by a former shipmate: “Tom lived on upper bunk,” [former shipmate Peter] Clarke say. “When you’re on ship, you’re almost exhausted 24-7. So a lot of times […]
