Morning Madness Meditations

    It’s another manic day in the deepest. darkest suburbs of central NJ but my mind is turned westward.  I am very worried about the mental state of our Petulant Klown.  He’s got some serious hypergraphia lately, for good reason.  But Klowns like voters can be very unpredictable.  He’s obviously worried about the Democrats.

Late Night Hilarity: Obama says Don’t Sulk, and Donna B takes to twitter to pretend she cares about the hippies being punched

H/t to Dario for linking to this story in the comments. It’s from the Washington Post, with the headline “Obama warns Democratic donors against ‘sulking and sitting back’ in midterms” : CRESSKILL, N.J. – President Obama returned Wednesday night to his get-off-your-duffs message, warning Democrats at a low-key million-dollar fundraising dinner against “sulking and sitting [...]

Somebody’s cheese done slid off her cracker

WARNING! This video is NSFW or anywhere else Jeralyn has never been the same ever since Palinpalooza started: Margaret Cho went home tonight on DWTS. She and Louie were in the bottom two, along with Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas. Bristol is wooden, has zero musicality and even less dance ability. The judges seem to [...]

Dishonest Intellectuals

I was so busy ranting and raving yesterday that I missed a good one. Glenzilla wrote a good piece on the pervasiveness of Democratic dissatisfaction, and linked to this post by Michael Kinsley at Politico on the topic of intellectual dishonesty: The blight of intellectual dishonesty is everybody’s problem.

Wednesday News

Good Morning Conflucians!!! It has been the strangest week or two of propaganda campaign efforts from the zombie obot armies including: 1) You Dems are lazy, good for nothing, ungrateful for all the wonderful things, bums, get your enthusiasm going again, idiots, 2) What, you don’t think Hillary would have been as horrible as Obama [...]

Is this WTF week?

Sombody said I seem angry lately. You think so? I wonder what gave them that impression. Greg Sargent is buns up and kneeling: What if the Dem base’s lack of enthusiasm is rooted in the fact that Dems aren’t even aware of how much Congress has accomplished in the last two years? A new poll [...]

Christine O’Donnell, Please Stop Existing Now

It’s like my friend Hecate says, Last person I heard say, “I’m you,” was Linda Tripp.Who was, you know, not me. You’re right Christine, you’re not a witch, but you’re not me either. The saddest thing about this ad is it’s mere existence. Women in politics have been called witches for a long time. For example: [...]

The Republicans are worse®?

Kevin Drum at MoJo: That final quote is priceless. “The health reform law did not deliver the uninsured in the way that insurers wanted.” Apparently they wanted the uninsured trussed up and delivered to their doorsteps wallet first, but without any actual obligation on their part to provide decent service in return. And they know [...]
