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 [...]
Sour Grapes Make for Bitter Whine.
After news broke that Kadafi/Kadaffi/Qadafi/Qaddaffi/Gaddafi/whatever had been captured and killed by Libyan rebels Friday afternoon, if was only natural for everyone to wonder just how the GOP Presidential Candidates would spin yet another foreign policy coup for President Obama.

The Sunday “Unintentionally” Funnies

Governors of BOTH parties have been praising the response of FEMA… who was already dealing with the rare East coast earthquake from the week before. And in the middle of this mess, GOP Presidential [...]
A Little Ignorance Can Do a LOT of Damage.
Every once in a while, I get into an online “argument” with some Teabagging idiot that thinks that I’m a clueless moron that’s out to destroy the country (I reposted once such conversation last April). But after just one or two exchanges, it is clear that everything they know about the world they learned listening [...]
Are Disaster-Capitalists Advising Republicans to Say Debt Ceiling “No Big Deal”?
Special Edition On Tuesday, the news reported that gold had hit a record high, breaking $1,600 an ounce for the first time in history. This got me thinking: “There are people out there that stand to make a lot of money if this country fails to raise the Debt Ceiling.” As people grow nervous over the [...]
Attention Republicans: Cutting Services Raises Expenses. That’s a tax hike!
Speaker of the House John Boehner has been leading the GOP’s new battle cry (whine?) that “you don’t raise taxes in a Recession.” Republicans are playing a dangerous game of chicken with the Debt Ceiling, threatening to vote against raising it next month, in hopes that Democrats will “blink first” and capitulate with Republicans… again.
