Was it good for you too?

  Marc Ambinder gets his groove on:   The Best Speech Obama’s Given Since…Maybe Ever Today, at Ft. Hood. I guarantee: they’ll be teaching this one in rhetoric classes. It was that good. My gloss won’t do it justice. Yes, I’m having a Chris Matthews-chill-running-up-my-leg moment, but sometimes, the man, the moment and the words [...]

Good thing that Palin b*tch didn’t get elected, huh?

  Remember last year when the Forces of Darkness almost put “Rape Kit” Sarah and her scary lady parts in the Oval Office?

Now the Republicans are proposing their own amendment that will make sure that we keep the status [...]
