Monday night open thread. And it's time for a Spring fundraiser to help me keep this place cranking along on the political tubes. If you have some folding money to spare, feel free to drop some in...

Offensive Shmensive
Adam Serwer believes that Wanda Sykes was way, way, way out of line. (SPOILER: Not really.) Meanwhile, Malkin is very offended for real. When you click over to Malkin's site, make sure to ask her...
Trippi Calls Bullshit
(CNN) – Joe Trippi, a former top aide to John Edwards, is sharply refuting a report a handful of campaign staffers knew about the former presidential candidate's affair and had plans to sabotage his...
Socialist Tea Party Fail
On several occasions, I've tried to underline the irony of how the anti-socialist tea parties have mostly taken place at publicly funded (socialized) locations. But this image speaks volumes:
Listen All Y'all, It's A Sabotage
Chez brainstorms ways in which Edwards campaign staffers might've sabotaged his campaign. My favorite of the batch: 5. Six words: Senior Edwards Campaign Manager Mark Penn. Adding... It just occurred...
Limbaugh's Kidneys?
Is Limbaugh in danger of suffering from kidney failure or from some other terminal illness? If not, then why is everyone so offended by Wanda Sykes' joke? It's not like Limbaugh is dying from the...
Morning Cheney
Morning Joe during the 8 a.m. hour: seven people in five windows rationalizing torture and Dick Cheney's involvement in it. Very serious cable news talkers repeating the debunked line about how we're...

Worst Person
Citigroup. Though not nearly the degree of dickishness we'll see from the insurance companies when they try to sabotage public healthcare, this is yet another reason why Citigroup deserves to be...
Sabotage
This is a hell of a story. Staffers on the Edwards campaign apparently had planned to sabotage the campaign if it looked like Edwards was going to win the nomination. In other words, they weren't...
Star Trek Review Thread
Post your reviews here, but please clearly mark your spoilers. Simply put, it made all of the previous movies seem overly serious, stuffy and quaint. A couple of spoilers after the jump...
The End of the Car Culture
Nate Silver suggests that the American love affair with the automobile is coming to an end. While I love road trips and the romance of the post-war Rt. 66 era (still want to write a book about it)...
Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
I love you, and I'm sorry for all of the profanity. Have a wonderful day!
White House Correspondent's Dinner
Very funny stuff. Don't want to spoil too much, but the best joke was easily the Boehner joke. But the "100 days" jokes were great, too. (Updated with complete video.)
Morning Awesome
Captain Kirk recites the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. (The new Star Trek movie was outstanding, by the way. More later...)
Saturday Night Thread
Off to see the Star Track. Open thread!
Why Haven't They Seceded Yet?
Because this is pretty awful: CNN reports that Texas hospitals are charging women who have been raped thousands of dollars for their rape kits that are collected by police as part of their...
