    i can't decide whether i'd prefer alan grayson as our next AG

    or as Obama’s second term VP:

    Rep. Broun, I believed you just got served:

    Run Hedrick Run

    The possibility of David Hedrick, spokesman for the angry Town Hall mob locally, running against Brian Baird in the next election cycle is intriguing.  Since there are already two other possible Republican contenders, it means there would be 3 R candidates running in the primary.

    If another Democrat enters the race and challenges Baird, that would mean the republican vote would be chopped into thirds [...]



    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 [...]



    it’s enough to wipe last year’s grant park vibes right from your soul

    Via Think Progress:

    Even if Pew’s March numbers still hold, and only 27% of U.S. voters self-identify as “Republican,” that’s 19.44% of Americans that are at least “somewhat likely” to vote for the Shilla from Wasilla if she somehow manages to claw her way to the top of the GOP ticket – and this is after last Friday’s teevee quit-o-rama.

    I need a drink.

    Go Sestak

    Actions have consequences…

    Wouldn’t it be great if Specter had his petuddy(sp) handed to him by a challenger that actually acts like a true Democrat in the primary?  We need a massive amount of new blood in Congress.  This will be a test if people in Pennsylvania value seniority over Democratic issues.  There is no way anyone can argue Arlen is good [...]



    There is No Such Thing as Half Wrong

    A torture rack, photographed in the Tower of London – Image via Wikipedia

    President Obama and Congress: Please investigate, possibly prosecute and most certainly put forth new legislation to prevent any future torture being committed by our government. Do not condone what was done. Walk the talk. Do not put us at much higher risk of repeating these crimes in the future.

    The [...]
