Barack Obama once again succeeds in making me think that he is (1) one of the smartest men in the Democratic Party, (2) one of the sharpest political minds in the country and (3) the best hope the Democrats have for presenting a future vision of America that inspires our people to work to make […]

This is by far the best rant-style, aggressive post I’ve ever seen on DailyKos, courtesy of Hunter. It’s in response to a prominent wingnut idiot (Mark Noonan) threatening civil war for the Democratic indictment of DeLay. I know, I know, I’m surprised someone of Noonan’s double digit IQ can spell the word “war” too. Check […]

DeLay’s had a profound Bart Simpson “Don’t blame me, I didn’t do it” moment yesterday in his press conference after being indicted for criminal conspiracy. He immediately blamed the prosecutor for his indictment, calling him “an unabashed partisan zealot” and “a rogue district attorney.” Of course, DeLay’s remarks are completely untrue. Once again we see […]

While yesterday brought victories in the fight to remove the corrupt GOP regime by the indictment of DeLay and the SEC investigation of Frist, Bush’s agenda will take a huge step forward today. Roberts will be confirmed as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by a three to one margin without answering any questions about […]

On a day that seems like a massive metaphorical pillow has suddenly been placed to intercept the path of my bruised head and the aforementioned wall, let’s take a second to break down all that’s going on with the Republican Party (courtesy of Digby):
So, we have a federal probe implicating the president’s number one political […]

September 28, 2005: A great day for honesty. Some excerpts (italics mine):
AP: Delay Indicted in Campaign Finance Probe
A Texas grand jury on Wednesday charged Rep. Tom DeLay and two political associates with conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme, forcing the House majority leader to temporarily relinquish his post.
DeLay, 58, was accused of a criminal conspiracy […]

Oh joyous day. Tom Delay indicted on criminal conspiracy charges! The SEC officially launches an investigation into Frist’s alleged insider trading!
Calling all interns! Calling all interns! Go blow the President.

Wow. I really really didn’t see this one coming. It’s been painful to see Michael Brown rehired by FEMA to help them figure out how he failed, but today…today was just silly.
When Brown ‘resigned’ from his post as head of FEMA it looked as if he was falling on his sword to help […]

Great line from the Daily Show…
“The president believes the government should be limited not in size, Jon, but in effectiveness. In terms of effectiveness, this is the most limited government we’ve ever had.”
– Rob Corddry
On Bill Maher’s show Friday, Republican Rep. David Dreier tried to contend that the GOP was never about small government, but […]

This is the sound of me banging my head on the wall. Slowly and repeatedly, with force. Why? Because I don’t have the same flexibility as George Bush and because Mike “Brownie” Brown has been hired by FEMA to evaluate FEMA’s failures in response to Katrina.
