The GOP is taking their role as the opposition party very seriously. In fact, they have already come out against Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, despite the fact that nobody (probably not even Obama) has any idea who that nominee will be. In fact, Souter only confirmed that he will be retiring a few […]
It is nice to know that politicians are still adept at the art of doublespeak. The latest example of this is from Senator James Inhofe (R-OK): There is no evidence more visible that the American people are already rebelling against the far-left agenda than Senator Arlen Specter switching parties to become a Democrat [sic].

This one really makes my head spin. The Republicans seem to have found those WMDs that they had been looking for so hard.

Republican Governor Rick Perry of Texas put his foot in his mouth earlier this week when he suggested that at some point Texas might get fed up enough by excessive government spending that they would want to secede from the union. Democrats immediately responded that Texas should not let the door hit their *ss on […]
I’m feeling overwhelmed with irony the last few days, and not just because of all the teabagging going on. There are a bunch of really good articles that I haven’t had time to report on, so I thought I would just list them here. Â All of them are worth a read. Over at Salon, Glenn […]
Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich), along with 70 Republican co-sponsors, has introduced in Congress an amendment to the US Constitution to enshrine “Parental Rights”. These rights include the right of parents to beat their children and the right of parents to choose the religion of their children. They are worried that these rights might be taken away […]
