They're Just Kids, Right?
Fuck em, then. Let the little bastards get a PAC, then they can get some protective legislation.
Deal Analysis
Dailykos weighs in with their indepth review and analysis of the 'deal' from last night.
Piercing Palin
I love Cenk Uygur... if I didnt already, his takedown of the Moosehunter would endear him to me.
No Problems at ACORN
Now that THAT monumental problem has been cleared up, can we investigate Halliburton, and KBR, and Blackwater, and Goldman, and Halliburton (so nice, it's needs it twice!)
PBS Says Get Out
Ten-fifteen years ago, Mara Liasson used to be pretty good. Now, she's just another Villager, ie, media whore
Conflict of Interest, Anyone?
If you make the ethics people at Faux News nervous, you have to REALLY be trying!
HCR Reform
Looks like a deal may be in the air.....
Ezra's first notes
TPM's report
Apparently, if the reports are correct, I get coverage (just turned 55) but everyone else gets screwed. Not good.

Repeat After Me: Lying Sacks of Shit
I knew you could do it! :)
Key point: "Oh, and another thought: if John Cornyn thinks giving an industry $450
billion is an act of disdain, then please, let me be disdained."

Atrios Sums It Up
One thing I wish they would collectively realize is that while they speechify on C-SPAN as if they imagine the whole world is watching, they'd better hope the whole world isn't watching because "the world's greatest deliberative body" looks like a clown show to most people. No disrespect meant to clowns. Except the very scary ones.
Apropos of Nothing....
...but kinda kewl. Interesting question... does this mean Rush and Glenny recognize themselves if they see themselves on the magical tv box?
Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Sigh, they really are stupid, and Boehner is more so than most. Maybe it's the shit that makes his skin orange that's affecting him :)
Dig Up Judge Green
Fine! They're together! Now, break em up! This is such a bad idea. It's akin to the old days when the studios owned the theaters too.... they broke up TV studios from show ownership, and we got a golden age; they unbroke that decision, and we got more crap than a goose on Milk of Magnesia.... Cable companies owning broadcast networks (forget the rest of Universal)....bad idea
Our Politicians Are Scary Stupid, Too!
why do they think they can get away with outright lies in an age of instant fact checking and permanent records of every utterance on the web? Amazing to me
Econ -101
There are a lot of economists out there who can walk and chew gum at the same time. So how come we ended up with Geithner, and Summers, and Samuelson?
Wrong on So Many Levels
A) Private prisons a bad idea B) Religious private prisons are a VERY bad idea C) Apparently, at least one judge doesnt have his head up his ass.
Bayh? Bah!
I've got the hammer and nails, someone bring the wood. We need to hoist Cheney up on a cross and mount him Dupont Circle as an object lesson. Fucking up is okay, all administrations do it; not recognizing it, not admitting it, not even thinking it's possible, is not okay.
LGF DOA?
WOW! LGF was amongst the nuttiest of the wingnuttia (at least amongst the commentators), so this is very surprising. Johnson had announced his dissatisfaction previously, but this is unexpected!
