The Real RNC

Thursday, May 21, 2009

In an otherwise uninteresting article in Newsweek, Howard Fineman delivers a ingenious joke. Fineman posits that there are two RNCs in politics: the Republican National Committee that we all know and love, and the “real” RNC, consisting of Rush, Newt and Cheney. Cute.

Inherent Contradictions

Thursday, May 21, 2009

This must be a special time for inherent contradictions and hypocrisy. First, RNC Chairman Michael Steele just published an article in Politico with a conclusion that includes the following paragraph: The Republican Party has turned a corner, and as we move forward Republicans should take a lesson from Ronald Reagan.

How Politics Really Works

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

Ben Smith has an audio recording of a voicemail message left in March 2007 by Hillary Clinton for Norman Hsu, who was just convicted on campaign finance fraud charges.

The future of the Republican Party – a loose confederation of warlords

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

A modest proposal for the future of the Republican Party after Obama destroys the country — from Pajamas Media: What do I propose for a Republican Party that will be relevant in the future? I’m thinking we need to work towards becoming a loose confederation of warlords. In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, resources will be scarce […]

Late Night Torture Humor

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

“Does this name ring a bell — evil Dick Cheney? He’s in New York City. He’s on another one of his stops on his ‘Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You Tour.’ And he is in New York City. And he has one of those crazy, embarrassing New York City moments. He’s driving in a cab. […]
