Florida Representative Alan Grayson is not your average politician, or, well, Democrat. Grayson, back in October:
They understand that if Barack Obama were to cure world hunger tomorrow, they would blame him for overpopulation.
They understand that if Barack Obama were to somehow bring about world peace, they would blame him for destroying the defense industry.

Ignorances and Stupidities are Starting to Come Out — Minnesotans Should Get a Grip
Posted: 20th February 2010 by admin in Big Brother, Congress, Constitution, Government, Political BSTags: brie, chablis, conservatives, CPAC, Tim Pawlenty
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty’s contempt and ignorant sneering is something that should give Americans at least quick pause.
It’s easy to just scapegoat a group, and mix in a few wildly exaggerated and in most cases idiotic stereotypes that appeal to our deepest and most base emotions. It’s the exact opposite of leadership. It’s cowardly, it’s [...]
Megan McArdle — the Famous 17.6 million Jobs Created, “Jobless” Recovery
Posted: 30th January 2010 by admin in Football, Political BS, Politics, economicsPundit (un)cool: “Where’s ma job at “duuuuuude.” Seriously. McArdle, speaking in the Atlantic.
She’s a bit off on the numbers, too.
As noted here, by actual blogger Tbogg (not to be confused with “Tbow” who is Donkey Joel – Here might be the most ignorant and presumptuous media post ever — Achenbach’s “man“):
Megan McArdle – neither [...]
Worth Repeating — Palin’s Expertise

Some lines worth considering:
Talking head and blogger Sarah Palin spoke out on Fox News saying that Alito’s “Wilson moment” was OK, and that Justice Alito was just “calling him out.” She based her careful judgment on her longstanding and intimate knowledge of Supreme Court protocol. Oh, wait.
In other deep layer of Palin analysis, she went [...]
What Democrats Repeatedly Miss

Paul Krugman is a Democrat, and a Liberal. However questionable, the Atlantic ranks him as the most influential commentator in America. (Then again, it ranks Rush Limbaugh as number 2, and George “I know nothing about science” Will as number 3.)
Whatever one thinks of his politics (or his recent “debate” with Salon columnist Glenn Greenwald) [...]
A Michael Moore Dilemma

This is a Michael Moore Dilemma, and it is one that is created by the far right, and somewhat lopsidedly, played into by the media.
Full Disclosure: We are not fans of Michael Moore. Some on the left may likely get angry with that statement, and dismiss what we are trying to do (somewhat comically, since there [...]
