New Order - "Regret"
Seriously…
We need to unload Harry Reid and find leadership who will force the Republicans stand up and filibuster for real. There's just no excusing a memorandum like this one, and anyone who regards the...
Saturday Night Thread
Open thread for whatever you want to talk about. Also, here's me on Bill Scher's Liberal Oasis podcast. Here's the iTunes version.
A Name For Our Pain
And it is... The Senate Blue Dog Group. Formed by Senator Evan Bayh. These guys will absolutely be a pain in the assneck for the next four years. Lieberman bad. So glad the Obama campaign didn't...
Since When?
Why didn't anyone tell me that Les Stroud isn't doing any more episodes of Survivorman? Now we're left with that hyperkinetic fraud Bear Grylls? Aw damn.

Whoa!
Thom Hartmann is on a cable news network. There must be some sort of underground tunnel leading into MSNBC through which people like Olbermann, Maddow and, now, Hartmann have infiltrated. Hartmann, I...
Prime Time Thread
Open thread for documenting the constant variety of cable news hackery and whatever else you're doing. Tonight! Why hasn't Barack Obama saved the automakers yet? Why can't he close the deal?! WHY?!
Afternoon Awesome
Rachel Maddow from last night's show talks about how the Republicans are punishing the American autoworker. Of course this was when there was a deal involving a pay cut, but today we learned that the...

Make The Republicans Talk
Josh again: What I do think makes sense is for the majority to actually require the minority to filibuster -- as in talk and talk and talk. I've been wondering this myself for the last, well, since...
