Lobbyists invited to the Republican retreat?
Oh yes, of course they are! From ABC:
The day after President Barack Obama urged members of Congress to be more transparent about their interactions with lobbyists, the House Republican Caucus headed up Interstate 95 for a retreat where they will be able to mingle privately with… lobbyists.
The annual retreat, sponsored by a non-profit group called [...]

Jesusistanis Would Censor a Wet Dream
The Jesusistanis have gone further off the deep end than I thought possible now.
I ignored the story about the Jesusistanis banning dictionaries in California because they had an entry for “oral sex.,” because that was more or less what I’d expect-no surprises.
But this….. I am stunned by this.
I read the supposedly offensive passages myself, and [...]
Howard Zinn has died.
Howard Zinn died yesterday at the age of 87 of a heart attack in Santa Monica, California. Mr. Zinn was a wonderful voice, and activist, for the left and he will be missed. From The Nation:
Howard Zinn, the Boston University historian and political activist who was an early opponent of US involvement in Vietnam and [...]
My Goodness, How Things Change
Everyone is going to remember what happened when the “Prostitute” ACORN video surfaced. Each and every right wing gasbag in America, joined by not a few Rushpubliscums in Congress, took the 2 or 3 ACORN workers shown giving out advice on how to commit crimes as evidence that ALL 400,000 ACORN workers are criminals. I [...]
The Audacity of Getting Shit Done…
Shall we?
Last night, President Obama gave a long and detailed State of the Union address in front of the people who are part of shaping the state of this union…and yes, that includes all of us.
Obama spoke about job creation and health care and Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and a lot more.
Republicans responded by saying [...]
Chris Matthews, post-racialism and acceptable blackness…
Let’s jump right on in.
A bitch didn’t see it…I fell asleep watching the Blues hockey game (we were robbed!!) and wouldn’t have been watching the State of the Union on MSNBC anyway because Chris Mathews works my nerves…but apparently Mr. Matthews defined post-racialness on air last night.
Matthews…
“I was trying to think about who he was [...]
Holocaust Memorial Day
65 years ago today – January 27, 1945 – the 322nd Rifle Division of the Red Army marched into an almost deserted outpost of the Nazis in Southern Poland and found 7,000 starving, sick and emaciated prisoners. What they also found was hundreds of thousands garments, suits, pairs of shoes, suitcases, eyeglasses, hairbrushes, and family [...]
Our F*ckwit of the week.
Paul Shirley is an athlete. More precisely he was an athlete. He now writes for ESPN and occasionally DeadSpin, a sports blog/site that I frequent.
Paulie is also an ignorant fuckwad and our Fuckwit of the Week. If you read his little OpEd I think you just might agree with me.His glaring lack of knowledge regarding [...]
The Veritas Conspiracy…
A bitch spent yesterday at an awesome training in Jefferson City!
You know a training is good when even the tax law segment is interesting as hell.
Fantabulous!
Anyhoo, I returned home to some interesting veritas about a certain James O’Keefe and his friends and a break-in and some phone bugging.
Off topic – Reports say O’Keefe said “Veritas” [...]
Shoulda Let Ben Go
One of the reasons I shake my head in disgust at the idiotic “teabaggers” is that so many of them are crying about SOCIALISM!!! Every time the Government proposes anything, a gaggle of them are rounded up by Dick Armey and deployed to whatever venue Armey wants them in to cry about the SOCIALIST President [...]
It’s about time!
This asshole, has finally been jailed.
Sadly, it wasn’t for his fuckery regarding ACORN, where the white guy played a pimp of all things.
Trying to bug a senator’s office is a federal offense right? I can’t wait to see how the DOJ deals with James O’Keefe and his co-conspirators. One of his buddies sure has some [...]
Slumdog Billionaire
On Monday, the partnership that bought the massive Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village 11,227-unit apartment complex in 2006, walked away from their mortgage obligations. The largest residential real estate deal in history – didn’t go into foreclosure, didn’t go bankrupt, the “owners” just turned over the keys to the lenders. “We are done, it’s your problem [...]
A ‘macaca’ moment for Lt. Gov of SC
This asshole really takes the cake. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer wants to run the state of SC as their governor. He also refuses to apologize for what he said. Comparing people to stray animals doesn’t usually help you get elected. From C&L’s video site, the video and audio:

It’s Time To Talk
The deliberately-driven discord in American politics makes it hard sometimes to remember that there is a broad mass of people who are ready to try to work together. Not a broad mass of POLITICIANS, who have an interest in polarizing us. But except for the fringes on either side (admittedly more on the right wing, [...]
