Grabbed this screenshot earlier of a comment on Adams’ liveblog. Looks like the denizens of Breitbart’s Mausoleum and FoxNews comment threads are starting to fan out into Gardenia Land; Didn’t stay up very long, maybe 30 minutes or so, and they shitcanned the account. Jesus, but that’s ugly.
Yep, the joys of living in a “swing state” are now fully apparent. Today was a record for robo-calls —eleven, all but two from GOP sources — with the weekday average running at about 4 or 5. I expect tomorrow will be heavy too, being as it’s many people’s day off. I swear to god [...]
Rachel Maddow deconstructs the decades old pattern of Mitt Romney’s dance over his tax returns. I’m not a big fan of Maddow’s style — I find it grating — but that’s irrelevant. What is not irrelevant is that this is thorough and analytical journalism. It tells a story and gives complete historical context for this [...]
Here’s a collection of souvenir pins from the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. To date they are the only such pins to be commissioned in the likeness of an Olympic committee executive. Aren’t they tasteful? Jesus, talk about making it all about you, Mitt. Oh, and yeah, they were made in China, naturally. [...]
Over the years I’ve heard Americans discuss all kinds of things going on in all parts of the world—various parts of Asia, China certainly, Europe, Mexico, you name it. One place I don’t recall anyone talking about much, aside from avid anglers and hunters, is Canada. I must presume they know that a rather large [...]
These people have just lost the fucking plot completely. Here’s a photo of one of the billboards put up by the fine folks at The Heartland Instititute. It goes without saying that they are a climate change denial “think tank”, their position being to dismiss scientific opinions on climate change, insisting that global warming is [...]
Couple of weeks ago we saw this; Ted Nugent endorsed my Dad today.Ted Nugent? How cool is that?! He joins Kid Rock as great Detroit musicians on team Mitt! — Tagg Romney (@tromney) March 2, 2012 How Cool? Well it wasn’t so cool at the NRA convention the other day after Dickhead Ted got done [...]
The Prez delivered another speech today, this time at the Associated Press Luncheon, and there is a transcript of the whole thing, along with a couple of follow-up questions here. It’s worth a look. It’s taken three years for him to start doing what no small number of us were screaming at him to do [...]
OK, really, after this one I’m giving the subject a rest. For a while at least. This is an ad from the folks at MoveOn. I hope they find the money to put it on TV screens from coast to coast. A real simple concept — just put the words, the actual words, from male [...]
Let’s hammer away at this one more time. The whole point of the previous posts about the Republicans efforts to restrict access to abortion and yes, to contraceptives, was to illustrate the degree to which the traditional GOP “business friendly” message is now joined at the hip to religious curtain-twitching and theocratic social engineering. Here’s [...]
