The GOP’s pledge that is not a pledge-but a rehash of stupid ideas: One person likes it though:

Partying like its 1932……
“Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don’t vote.” The population of Delaware is 849,000. The lady who doesn’t like masturbation or sex-got just 30,172 votes tonight. Even assuming a 55/45% split Democratic / Republican and subtracting out underage folks that still leaves a lot of people

Lex and others have taken a great deal of pride in flashing this picture around-and then with a certain amount of snarkiness proclaiming how great it was under George W. Bush. Sad to see how short peoples memories really are: Let’s just say for argument’s sake-Barak Obama is really the

There is probably no better time than the State of the Union to render forth my verdict on the first year of the Obama administration. Unlike what the folks in teabagger land think-it has not been the complete disaster they portray it to be-nor has it been as good as

To bash some really stupid liberal ideas. I am often accused of “going to the dark side”-and endorsing the whole Democratic agenda. Truth is-I have not. It is posts like this one, from Balloon Juice ( a blog I generally like) that keep me from going whole hog into the

While all the folks in the echo chamber, are getting their panties in bunch-because Ezra Klein had the wherewithal to suggest that America needs a more educated electorate– it might be useful to consider where we would be, if the other side had won. Which it very well could have,

Forget the Supreme Court- these are some appointments that are worth getting upset about. There is considerable angst among the chattering class about the appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. But while some of us may question the logic that says we have to deliberately limit the selection

I’m going to start hating the new Supreme Court nominee now. Sitting here in the lounge in Dulles on the way back to Shopping Mall. I’ve been watching her on TV. There is something in the way she talks-something of a pompousness in the gait of her speech, that has set

It occurs to me that amid the rancor over the stimulus bill, there is a bigger problem the President needs to address head on. Obama has a very different problem with Congress than GWB had. If he is serious about trying to get things done-he has to do it in
