Testing America’s Patience
Please tell me again how Mittens is going to pivot to being the Sensible Centrist Leader We Need™ just as soon as he’s the nominee. Please. I need a good laugh on Valentine’s Day. Georgia’s controversial plan to mandate drug testing for all welfare recipients and other beneficiaries of government assistance got a big endorsement [...]

Snake World
This is Daisy, who is, as you can see, blessed with great physical beauty. She’s even got matching beauty moles. She is somewhat vain in consequence. I tell both my dogs that they’re smart girls, good girls, beautiful girls. But with Daisy, it is definitely the latter that resonates. She takes in the sun like [...]

The Bishops make their move
So it looks like the Bishops have decided to double-down on their latest effort to have the Federal Government enforce Church Law. The President offered up a rhetorical solution in response to their rhetorical freak-out over language in a new health insurance rule and the fiction that their objection was about religious freedom was exposed [...]

Fox News: The Poors™ Aren’t Poor — They Have Gout!
Fox News contributor Charles Payne proves that just when you think Fox News has gone as low as they can go, they find a hidden basement and tumble ass-over-elbow downstairs: Fox News contributor Charles Payne defended Mitt Romney’s lack of concern for the poor by saying, “To supposedly alleviate the very poor, and Mitt was [...]

The Latest Komen Lie
I know we’re wall-to-wall Komen, but they’ve finally gotten around to addressing their critics. Komen President Nancy Brinker’s YouTube damage control video is full of half-truths and errors of omission, but I want to focus on one of them (at 1:25 in the video): Wherever possible we want to grant to the provider who is [...]

Rampaging Honey Badger Mars Sparsely Attended Pro-Walker Rally
WAUWATOSA, WI (January 21, 2012) – A giant, mutant honey badger disrupted a rally organized to show support for embattled Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, charging into the small gathering and slightly injuring at least one attendee. The unusually large carnivore, estimated to weigh 15 tons, struck without warning, terrorizing the fives of Wisconsinites who had [...]

Yes We Can-Can
Charles Krauthammer is mad enough to stomp bunnies, a man consumed with the type of bitterness that can only come from being thwarted by putative allies when a cherished goal is in sight. Things were going so well. With an assist from elderly social conservatives in patriot drag,* the GOP had successfully rebranded the economic [...]

To Russia With Love
Mitt Romney wants you to know he is entitled to his half a billion, and if you think there is a problem with the current concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny, tiny minority of sociopaths, well to fucking Russia with you: Let me tell you something. America is a great nation, because [...]

A Novel Approach to Profit
This is pretty rich: Hedge funds have been known to use hardball tactics to make money. Now they have come up with a new one: suing Greece in a human rights court to make good on its bond payments. The novel approach would have the funds arguing in the European Court of Human Rights that [...]

Wingers Hate Evil Fat Cats? The Zombie Lie That Just Won’t Die
If Nate Silver is right about the New Hampshire outcome—he’s saying Romney 38.5%, Paul 18.6%, Huntsman 17.0%, Santorum 12.3%, Gingrich 11.5%, Perry 1.2%—then it will turn out that capitalism-bashing did absolutely no harm to Mitt Romney, and that the two guys who sound most like Democrats in attacking Romney’s business record will have finished fourth [...]

Folks lend a hand in a hell hole
In most presidential campaigns that I can remember, at least one candidate talked a lot about how he spent a lot of time in a Bieber-forsaken hell hole like like Scraton, PA or Hope, Arkansas or a Vietnamese POW camp or whatever mill-town John Edwards grew up in, where people didn’t have any money or [...]

What Mitt Romney’s Free Market Looks Like
Via Greg Sargent, this Reuters piece is a must read: The young men in business suits, gingerly picking their way among the millwrights, machinists and pipefitters at Kansas City’s Worldwide Grinding Systems steel mill. Gaping up at the cranes that swung 10-foot cast iron buckets through the air. Jumping at the thunder from the melt [...]

The Cost Of The Payroll Tax Cut
Steve Benen is most likely correct when he notes the GOP “negotiators” in the Senate side of the payroll tax cut fight starting next month have no intention of extending the cut at all. Senators Crapo, Barrasso and especially Jon Kyl being involved means the Republicans are signaling that they are okay with destroying any [...]

I believe he’s gonna work me into the ground
Gnoot has a post up about his proposal to prepare kids from poor families for the low paying, menial jobs they will often be forced to take after leaving school by giving them low paying, menial jobs while they are at school. Wouldn’t it be great if New York City schools served their students as [...]

In The Business Of Giving You The Business
Kind of a depressing WaPo piece here about America’s House of Not So Commons and politics increasingly being a rich person’s game: Between 1984 and 2009, the median net worth of a member of the House more than doubled, according to the analysis of financial disclosures, from $280,000 to $725,000 in inflation-adjusted 2009 dollars, excluding home equity.
