Quote of the Morning: "Sweet Jesus." I imagine most conservatives are waking up every morning like that. Seriously, what's wrong with Romney? As I wrote on Twitter yesterday, I'm running out of fresh...
A telling chart:Hmm. I wonder why southern working class whites don't like President Obama. Oh, I know! It's because he uses Teleprompters and cuts their taxes. No, wait. Hmm. What could it be...?
UPDATE: Simon's post is evidently supposed to be satire. From what I can tell, the Robinson quote is real, but the rest is Simon trying to be The Onion. Uh-huh. Sorry, Roger. You're not The Onion. In...
My Wednesday column continues to chart the Romney descent into epic failure. Mitt Romney is running out of time. Worse yet, due to his well-documented ineptitude and awkwardness, he's incapable of...
Sugar - "Tilted"
Couple of things about this post, Andrew. 1) Axelrod was correct. Adding trillions to the debt while turning a surplus into a $1.1 trillion deficit is absolutely not conservatism. 2) No one realized...
Here's Jonathan Cohn with the devastating impact of what would happen if and when Romney repeals Obamacare -- specifically what would happen to Romney's beloved emergency rooms: Remember, Romney...
My Tuesday column wonders when Romney will seriously try to open an airplane window mid-flight. I'm old enough to remember quite clearly the 1992 campaign. Seeing as how I was a political science...
Wilco - "Sunloathe"

Ah, he leads such a hard-knocks life of tuna, pasta and $14 million in purely investment income. The focus on Romney’s tax returns is on how much he pays. But look at the other side of the ledger:...
On 60 Minutes last night: "Let's see what I've done since I came into office: I said I'd end the war in Iraq. I did. I said that we'd go after Al Qaeda. They've been decimated in the FATA," he said...
My rather long Monday column covers the ideological and platform shifts of the parties from 1860 to present day, and how Republicans like Ann Coulter and Glenn Beck are lying about it. While I was...
Good Old War - "Better Weather" Live on Conan
Iron Maiden - "Journeyman"
Seriously. On Sept. 22, 1862 — 150 years ago today — Abraham Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation, promising to free the slaves in any state still in rebellion on Jan. 1, 1863. Americans...
Half of all the states begin early voting today. Not very good news for a particular Republican candidate who's kinda taking a big dump right now. Election Day may be Nov. 6th, but with President...
Romney is crazy rich. Doesn't-have-to-worry-about-money-ever-again rich. As we all know by now, he paid an effective tax rate of 14.1% for his 2011 income. He even over-paid so his taxes so his...
MST3K Saturday - "The Black Scorpion"
