Arizona GOP Debate Open Thread
Almost certainly, positively the last of these debacles, since the Super Tuesday debate’s been cancelled. A reminder of progress to date, per Paul Constant at The Stranger: In case you haven’t been paying attention up till now, the Republican presidential race has been a steaming turdgasm featuring sexual harassment, the joyous applauding of state-sanctioned murder, [...]

Tuesday Evening Open Thread: Seekers
(Jeff Danziger’s website) When EventheNewRepublic says “Mitt Romney’s Presidential Prospects May Not Be Salvageable“, and yet in terms of scaring off swing voters “Senator Santonarola Can’t Help Himself“, what’s the GOP to do? Fortunately (for horserace political reporters and satirists in all media), Charlie Pierce at Esquire perceives hints from a certain D-list celebrity: Princess [...]

Monday Evening Open Thread: Casting Lots
(Jeff Danziger’s website) Still the single best political cartoonist working today. But just out of curiosity, how many of you post-public-school-prayers young atheists actually recognize the reference without googling? Speaking of schadenfreude, the WaPo’s Jennifer “Bomb There, Bomb Now” Rubin is not a fan of Rick Sanctorum, “the Sharron Angle of 2012“: Two stories surfaced [...]

Open Thread: Manners, People, Manners!
Best comment on Charles Murray’s new bestselling Social Darwinism apologia comes from Doghouse Riley: It turns out that Charles Murray is to the “conservatives” at the Times what Halley’s Comet is to a superstitious medieval peasantry. And yet, Murray’s call for a rekindled attention to Mad-Man- style social hypocrisy has leaked downward from the dutiful [...]

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, [...]

Popcorn For Everyone
I’m “working” on a couple of more substantive posts (look for them sometime in the next Mayan long calendar) and I’m at least trying to work on what they actually pay me for, so blogging is a notional activity right now… But by every pasta tendril undulating off the blessed FSM, how in the name [...]

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 [...]

Apparently The Cause Of Income Inequality Is Poor People Existing

AEI Junior Randian, Third Class Nick Schulz explains why America’s massive income inequality is reality, and it’s because of you bloody poor people. The reason is [...]

It’s cleansing when it floods someone else’s house
It’s an old, old saying I know but it has a lot of truth to it: “minor” surgery means they operate on someone else. Likewise, floods are cleansing when they flood someone else’s house. When elites talk about the beauty of pain and sacrifice, they mean someone else’s pain and sacrifice. They may think they [...]

Tiny Violins: The “Homeless Halloween Firm” is out of Business
Feel that? That’s the sweet caress of schadenfreude. Remember the foreclosure law firm that celebrated Halloween by dressing up like the homeless and mocking those whose homes had been foreclosed? Well, looks like the firm, Steven J. Baum P.C., has had to shut its doors, and the firm’s named partner blames New York Times reporter [...]

But they have cell phones
Nothing wrong with this that deregulation and tax cuts can’t fix: When the Census Bureau this month released a new measure of poverty, meant to better count disposable income, it began altering the portrait of national need. Perhaps the most startling differences between the old measure and the new involves data the government has not [...]

In Your Base, In Fact Destroying The Credibility Of Your Doodz
Here’s the Up With Chris Hayes story that Anne Laurie was talking about earlier today: A well-known Washington lobbying firm with links to the financial industry has proposed an $850,000 plan to take on Occupy Wall Street and politicians who might express sympathy for the protests, according to a memo obtained by the MSNBC program [...]

I feel like a solider, look like a thief
New polls show the public turning against the OWS movement (PPP via NoMoreMisterNiceBlog): The Occupy Wall Street movement is not wearing well with voters across the country. Only 33% now say that they are supportive of its goals, compared to 45% who say they oppose them. That represents an 11 point shift in the wrong [...]

Hit by a Mink Car
Last night, Occupy Oakland protesters were run over by a Mercedes. Luckily, nobody’s 24-karat dead: The incident happened when the driver was heading south on 11th and was blocked by streams of marchers walking along Broadway, witnesses said. He had a green light, but could not get through. Hartwig said witnesses had differing accounts of [...]

I cover the waterfront
Those hippies in Oaktown shut down the port for the day, but happily things stayed peaceful: Thousands of Occupy Oakland protesters expanded their anti-Wall Street demonstrations on Wednesday, marching through downtown, picketing banks and swarming the port. By early evening, port authorities said maritime operations there were effectively shut down. “Maritime area operations will resume [...]
