Last night, I wrote about the president's attempt at a bipartisan way forward on healthcare and how it's probably just cover to pass the Senate bill and a reconciliation package of fixes. Greg...
Sarah Palin with Chris Wallace on name-calling: Name-calling by anyone, I teach this to my children and you teach it to your children and grandchildren, too. Name calling by anyone is just...
Uh Huh Her - "Explode"
I think I'm getting a clearer picture on what the president has in mind for healthcare. I believe the Democrats are pursuing two tracks. 1) They're preparing a strategy to pass the current Senate...
President Obama is getting tough on healthcare. Yesterday at the DNC: "The easiest thing to do right now would be to just say, 'Oh, this is too hard. You know, let's just regroup and, you know, lick...
My third and hopefully final Palin post of the day. Last night, she referred to the bailouts as a "slush fund" and "crony capitalism" and "public irresponsibility." For the record, she supported the...
So we now know the rules for "retard" and "retarded." It's okay if it's satirical. Well, okay. "Retard" as satire is acceptable. And did you catch the slam against "political correctness" in there...

The red bars represent recession unemployment under Bush, and the blue bars represent President Obama's jobless numbers. (Click to enlarge) And people are actually thinking about voting for...
MST3K Saturday - "The Chicken of Tomorrow" (Part 2 after the jump) If you've seen Food Inc. -- oh how things have changed since this film was made.
President Obama yesterday: And then I think that we've got to go ahead and move forward on a vote. We've got to move forward on a vote. (Applause.) But as I said at the State of the Union, I think we...
This is beyond stupid. The utter cynicism embodied in this spot is staggering. The Republicans are taking their voters for drooling, mouth-breathing nincompoops who will be easily tricked into...
Bock. bock. Bock. Senate Republicans don’t have much of an appetite to give President Barack Obama their version of question-and-answer time - not after seeing how Obama handled House Republicans...
Steve Pearlstein: After all, if the only things the party in power can accomplish are those that the minority power can agree with, then what is the point of having an election? No matter which side...
Paul Krugman nails it: ...the sudden outbreak of deficit hysteria brings back memories of the groupthink that took hold during the run-up to the Iraq war. Now, as then, dubious allegations, not...
I have a new piece up at WalletPop. Monsanto: The evil corporation in your refrigerator It's mostly a background piece to set up further items down the road.
