Gas, Past Tense, Made Facially
What the price of gas has done over the last 12 months (top green line there): What FOX News makes out of the green line: “Man, Mr. Murdoch’s third period math class is effin’ hard. But just leave out the uninteresting data points AND BLAME PRESIDENT MELANIN MCDARKGUY LOL HOMEWORK’S DONE. I bet I get [...]

I Can’t Quite Put My Finger On It, But…
MoJo’s Nick Baumann again does us an invaluable service by pointing out the obvious fact that President Obama’s “unprecedented assault on America’s religious freedoms” by requiring church-related hospitals and universities to cover contraception at the federal level has actually been on the books for, oh, about 12 years now. In December 2000, the Equal Employment [...]

House Of Pain
Foreclosuregate rattles on, and it looks like the banks are going to lose their pound of flesh, in this case, $25-$26 billion over three years, in order to get off the hook for roughly 100 times that in real damage to the economy. The final details of the pact were still being negotiated Wednesday night, [...]

The Production of Victimhood
As Anne Laurie notes, Pete Hoekstra’s video (tagged “yellowgirl” on his site) is raising outrage at its overt racism. Judging from Hoekstra’s latest fundraising letter, he got exactly what he wanted: Here we go again. We dared to take on Debbie Stabenow and China, and the liberals are doing what they always do—crying racism. If [...]

Chart Of Darkness
The problem with this Zero Hedge “implied unemployment rate” chart that the wingers are screaming about as proof of a massive “Democrat Party scam” is the fact that Tyler Durden ran the numbers back for 30 years and it exists all the way back to the Reagan era, and it shows that the “real” unemployment [...]

Charity, chastity, prudence, and hope
Heh: I’m told that 22 Dem Senators have signed on to a toughly worded letter urging Komen to reverse its decision… You know what, it’s too late. Fuck ‘em, I don’t like alarms. Gin and Tacos (h/t to many commenters and to real life friend J for telling me how good G&T is): [P]lease consult [...]

Simp Phony For The Devil
Having taken over Washington Monthly’s Political Animal blog for Steve Benen (now part of the Maddow team at MSNBC, and more power to him there, he’s badly needed), Ed Kilgore is doing a pretty solid job so far. He flags this article from The Hill written by FOX News punching bag Juan Williams and immediately [...]

Fire Walker Chronicles: Don’t Take The Money And Run
Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker sure is endearing himself to voters this week as the recall effort has obtained nearly twice the signatures it needed to trigger an election. His latest antics? Becoming the latest GOP governor to turn down a federal grant to create a state health insurance exchange, all but assuring that the [...]

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way Out Of Des Moines
It turns out Mitt Romney may not have won in Iowa after all. Mitt Romney received 20 fewer votes than are reported from a Moulton precinct in numbers posted by the Republican Party of Iowa, the Appanoose County GOP chairman said today. The final vote between Iowa caucuses winner Mitt Romney was eight ahead of [...]

Fire Walker Chronicles: The GOP’s Signature Move
The massive political game of chicken that is the recall effort against Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker (working title? Recall: The Electoral Opera) entered a new phase as former GOP State Senator and Republican-friendly judge J. Mac Davis ruled in favor of the Governor as expected, saying now that the burden of vetting the recall [...]

Fire Walker Chronicles: Home Field Shutout
Looks like not only will Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker get his day in court to argue that the state’s recall process is unconstitutional, but that Democrats will be locked out of the case, unable to present arguments to defend the recall. A judge in Wisconsin has ruled that Democratic recall organizers cannot challenge a [...]

But you never see the lies that you believe
Esquire (via): There are some truths so hard to face, so ugly and so at odds with how we imagine the world should be, that nobody can accept them. Here’s one: It is obvious that a class system has arrived in America — a recent study of the thirty-four countries in the Organization for Economic [...]

Back To The Middle And Around Again
As the Occupy movement struggles to stay in place with winter and multiple pepper spray fronts lashing the countryside, the Right screams that the dirty, criminal hippies deserve to be kicked out of “private property” unlike the law-abiding owners of Zuccotti Park. Oh wait. It turns out that the owners of Zuccotti Park — the [...]

Class Inaction
An enterprising law firm saw a payday in Ticketmaster’s long-time policy of tacking on extra fees to tickets, so they came up with a convoluted class-action settlement that gives everyone who bought a ticket in the last 12 years a $1.50 credit on a new ticket. Along with probably millions of others, I got an [...]

The Independent Investigation Dodge
Apparently the new way for institutions to weasel out of responsibility is to investigate yourself. For example, Syracuse University is getting heat for its decision to have its lawyers rather than police investigate in 2005 when one of its coaches was accused of child rape. The release of a taped phone call that the alleged [...]
