    not surprisingly, chuck grassley is full of shit

    After all, he’s a Republican:

    Grassley’s point is not only classless, cruel, disgusting, and a prime example of the Fox News “some people say…” schtick, but also without a shred of merit.

    If I thought such a human turd deserved to meet a woman of joy, grace and dignity, I might have liked the chance to introduce Chuckles to my Aunt [...]

    my obama-topia

    I just heard on the radio that that DLC quisling Rahm Emanuel is Obama’s likely choice for Chief of Staff. Crap.

    Department of Agriculture: Senator Tom Harkin
    Department of Commerce: Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon
    Department of Defense: General Wesley Clark
    Department of [...]

    The maple leaf rises. From our international banker this morning:

    Jobs, jobs, jobs. It has been heartening to follow the employment growth in Canada and Australia over the past few years. If the US overly deteriorates maybe there is still some where we can go. Canada created 46,400 jobs in January after a loss of 2900 positions in December… The data blew the socks off the [...]
