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 [...]

Little fluffy clouds
I’m trying to understand. I managed to put my back out somewhere in Portugal, then picked up a dread lurgy in Amsterdam, and have therefore spent the last week making my way home to Shady Pines, swathed in a haze of Tiger Balm, vaIium, codeine and champagne, while alternately lying on the floor of hotels [...]

How This Particular Game Is Played
As much as I would love to believe this is yet another instance where the President has outsmarted the GOP (and in a fair would it would be) his proposal for legislation allowing him fast track authority to consolidate federal trade and commerce agencies is precisely the sort of thing that has zero chance getting [...]

President Obama Plays The GOP Yet Again
Republicans are preparing to go into full OUTRAGE MODE over the Obama Administration’s request to the Treasury to raise the debt ceiling another $1.2 trillion. The debt ceiling deal worked out earlier this year gives the Republicans a chance to pass a resolution of disapproval, but the President would have to sign the resolution after [...]

They Knew Exactly Which Buttons To Push
So I wonder what the deal is behind this story, but that’s not the interesting part. Late Tuesday evening, a press release went out to numerous political journalists with stunning news. Mega-union SEIU had voted to withdraw its recently bestowed endorsement of Barack Obama. That’s certainly not unimaginable — SEIU often takes its own path [...]

We’re not at the end of the beginning, but perhaps the beginning of the end
Something huge happened today. The kind of thing that changes the nature of the economy, and Americans’ relationship with their government, and with the corporations that seem to rule so much of our world. Today is the day that a significant part of the Affordable Care Act took effect. Today is the day that companies [...]

Afternoon Open Thread Type Thing
College football appears to be happening around the country, also some sort of localized winter death storm in the Northeast where brimstone and/or razor sharp obsidian is falling from the skies. TNC on Up with Chris Hayes this morning was a nice change of pace, but then Mort Zuckerman showed up to blame everything economic, [...]

Legalize It
New polls that show that marijuana legalization has the support of over half the nation leads Radley Balko to quip: Legalization is also at the top of the White House’s “We the People” petition site, and it isn’t even close. Next time Obama laughs off the question—and he will—I’d love to hear a White House [...]

Your Liberal Media
Via the Benenator, this unsurprising chart: One man running for president has suffered the most unrelentingly negative treatment of all: Barack Obama. Though covered largely as president rather than a candidate, negative assessments of Obama have outweighed positive by a ratio of almost 4-to-1. The assessments of the president in the media were substantially more [...]

No Comparison
I was a little concerned about Libya. I hate our use of drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and most everywhere else. But I’m with Tbogg on this one- the LRA is a murderous cult, and if sending 100 guys into the jungle to hunt them down and wipe them off the planet works, I say why [...]

I Liked This Movie Better When It Starred Hal Holbrook
This is just nuts. It’s un-American, surely illegal, and a real mark on the Obama Presidency. Just fucking nuts. And evil. This really is a situation in which Obama is worse than Bush.

Telling to the Revolution
The sound is crappy and hard to understand at times, and I generally have reservations about people who want to throw themselves into the abyss that is YouTube stardom* – even when it’s a devastatingly cute serviceman from Alabama who still calls his dad “Sir” and says “Oh my lord”. Nevertheless, this made me cry: [...]

CAUTION: Geniuses at work…
There are a group of people who sell themselves as “progressives” who have proven over the years that they are complete fools. These are folks with a serious strategic thinking problem. Time after time all they do is rack up failure after failure. Worst of all, they provide wingnuts everywhere perfect foils who can be [...]

Post Speech Reaction
I’m happy to note that the reaction to Obama’s speech has been much more positive than I could have ever imagined. K-thug even gave it high praise: First things first: I was favorably surprised by the new Obama jobs plan, which is significantly bolder and better than I expected. It’s not nearly as bold as [...]

The Modern Negrophobists reaction to the President’s speech…
This cartoon from 1862 could run in the papers tomorrow as an example of the typical Republican/Wingnut reaction to President Obama’s speech (it would also cover the reaction of more than a few firebaggers as well). This has been the reaction to everything President Obama has done so far, so I see no reason why [...]
