The List II: The Strange Case of Dr. Ron Paul.
It is extremely difficult to summarize the very complex platform of Texas Rep. Dr. Ron Paul without getting too deep into the weeds as to why he’s often a clueless… even dangerous… presidential candidate that no one should ever seriously consider voting for. The Texas Libertarian is extremely popular among young voters (mostly Conservative & […]

The List II: Michele Bachmann
Everybody knows someone like Michele Bachmann. The “Tall Tale” teller, the “Everyone’s out to get you” paranoid, or the Bible-thumper that throws a screaming hissy-fit if you dare challenge their beliefs. But how many of us know all-three rolled into one? Long-time readers know I can’t refer to Michele Bachmann without the obligatory “BSC*” suffix after […]

The List II: Newt Gingrich
This weeks “List” tackles former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. I’ve made no secret of my distaste for the former Speaker over the years. In fact, among all the GOP candidates, I don’t think I have a more visceral dislike of anyone more than “Professor” Newt Gingrich. Even BSC* Michele Bachmann and Rick “Don’t Google My Name” Santorum, who […]

The List II: Mitt Romney
(Attention: With Ron Paul’s pseudo-concession of the race to Romney [May 14th], I have moved this List to its own page linked on the Toolbar above. For the latest updates, please view that version instead. – Mugsy) Welcome to our first installment of “The List II”: An archive of links to comments, stated policies/agendas, misconduct, hypocrisy […]

“The List” is returning: Mugsy’s Master List of Reasons to NOT Vote for Each GOP Candidate, all December long.
Back in October of 2010, I posted “The List”: A list of 101 Reasons Why the GOP Should Not Be Allowed to Regain Control. “The List” was very popular, and (I’d like to think) played a part in preventing over a half-dozen of the most radical teanut ideologues from winning their respective races (Angle, Miller, Fiorina, […]

Gingrich, who once called Obama “insensitive” to unemployed, tells OWS to “take a bath and get a job.”
Of the current eight GOP presidential candidates, I don’t think I loath any of them more than I loath Newt Gingrich. Partly because he’s been around the longest, but mostly because I know of no one that can be both SO SMUG and SO WRONG at the same time. And it wouldn’t be so bad if the Wingnut […]

History Professor Newt Gets It Wrong Again. (UPDATED)
I love listening to former history professor Newt Gingrich lecture others about “history” because… as I’ve pointed out before… he gets it wrong so often. And not just “wrong”, but 100% BACKWARDS wrong. He did so again during last nights’ CNBC GOP debate in Rochester, Michigan: Gingrich, in an answer regarding the “Occupy […]

A Brief History Lesson: The Great Stock Market Crash of 1929, 82 years ago today.
A brief history lesson: It was 82 years ago today that a real estate bubble allowed unregulated banks to engage in WILD speculation on Wall Street. Many people don’t know that the economy had actually been turning bad for nearly a year prior to the great Stock Market Crash of 1929. The Market had its […]

Was Perry’s “jobs plan” really only his “energy policy”? No one seems to know. And with good reason.
On Friday, the Perry campaign released a copy of the candidate’s “Jobs Plan”… or did he? No one seems to be able to agree on that one simple point. The Perry website (no link. You know where) still refers to it as a “plan to create 1.2 million jobs”. Fox News Sunday yesterday referred to it as his […]

A Few Protest Sign Ideas for the #OWS Crowd
The Occupy Wall Street protests have grown considerably over the past three weeks when they first began. They were ignored for a long time until NYC police officers went on a rampage, hauling away protesters and in one dramatic unprovoked incident caught on video, indiscriminately doused protestors with pepper spray. The Media keeps asking, “Why […]

Ten Ways President Obama Can Revive the Economy and Create Jobs TODAY Without Spending ONE DIME
Don’t forget to vote for your favorites below! One month ago, I asked for your ideas to jumpstart the economy at little to no cost. Everyone (even President Obama now) recognizes the fact that Republicans are more interested in spending the next 14 months making sure President Obama loses HIS job than helping unemployed Americans find one […]

ATTENTION WHITE HOUSE: Regulations CREATE jobs. Stop believing the RW lie.
MYTH BUSTING This week, the Obama Administration angered a LOT of Progressive Democrats by announcing that they would delay pending new EPA clean-air regulations until 2013 in the name of “jobs”. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) even encouraged environmentalists to sue the White House over it. Conservatives hailed this as a victory for business, declaring that “finally, President Obama […]
