There are no facts, only spin. We create our own reality, and contrast that with that of the poor souls who live in the reality based community have to suffer through.
Iraq/Iran - what's the difference?
Damn funny watching the Palin impromptu presser at McClatchy. Palin has a big picture of herself on the back wall. She also seems to be wearing RNC boots.
Reports off little cayman--hurricane came in from the north. The marine station is on the north side but constructed to take it--let's hope. Unfortunately, the marine park, Bloody Bay Marine Park, one of the top five dives sites in the world, is on the north side.
Not much in the way of storm surge but Cuba is expected to get 18-23 foot surge.
Facts and fact checkers are more expensive to produce plus they don't fit the narrative...
Anyone who thought the change coming to America would also transform the idiot media was out there too far.
It will take a long time for the profession to rid itself of these pathetic, thoughtless, ignorant fools ... if ever.
So when can I have a beer with our super cool, god-fearing President?

I bet if Reichert had voted for the bailout he would have lost this election.

Shit - the video of Katrina vanden Heuvel criticizing Bachman's comments as "McCarthyist" is no longer available on YouTube.
I wonder why?

I think someone micro-brewer should name a beer That One.
I have the perfect answer for any campaign that asks me for money...
I gave to Dodd for President, Darcy Burner, John Ladenburg and Tinklenberg. In other words, everyone I contributed money to lost.
Yes, I'm native English speaker. ??????
U scared me! It's not the real Security Pacific Bank - it's the one that was using that name after SPB got absorbed by the Bank of America borg. Jeeze! That was like hearing that Bear-Stearns had failed, or Lehman Brothers...

Morning, comrade tovarischii.
So, um, if B. Hussein Obama ran as a conservative... who the hell have they been talking about all these weeks as the "socialist" and "wealth-spreader" and all that?
Some OTHER guy named Obama, I guess.
The purge can start with clowns like Emily Heffter in Seattle, who destroyed Darcy Burner's campaign with one false and misleading article.
Remember those warnings that Obama was a "socialist", a "communist" even and the most liberal candidate in over twenty years?
From Wikipedia:
critics believe the DLC has essentially become an influential corporate and right-wing implant in the Democratic party. Marshall Wittmann, a former senior fellow at the DLC, former legislative director for the Christian Coalition, and former communications director for Republican senator John McCain, and Will Marshall, a vocal supporter of the war in Iraq, are among those associated with the DLC who have right-wing credentials.
Finally, detractors of the DLC note that the DLC has received funding from the right-wing Bradley Foundation as well as from oil companies, military contractors, and various Fortune 500 companies.

As great as it was to see Rahm's creature Tim Mahoney go down in FL-16 yesterday (along with fellow fake Dems Nick Lampson and Don Cazayoux) it's mind boggling how many conservative Democrats were recruited in this cycle. (Please don't say "But he doesn't run the DCCC any more." He's still on the recruitment committee, which is "run" by one of his shills, Artur Davis and how much sway he has over Chris Van Hollen is only an argument about degree.) So let's remember Rahm Emanuel when we start watching the votes roll in from Bobby Bright (AL), Parker Griffith (AL), Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ), Suzanne Kosmas (FL), Debbie Halvorson (IL), Frank Kratovil (MD), Harry Teague (NM), Michael McMahon (NY), Steve Dreihaus (OH), John Boccieri (OH), Gerald Connolly (VA), and Glenn Nye (VA)-- a dozen new voices against progressive values and ideals.
My emotions aren't all that mixed. Obama's ties to the Democratic Leadership Council have been very disturbing for years. So has his close friendship with DLC Leading Light Emanuel and his approval if not active involvement in Emanuel's campaign to recruit harsher and harsher conservatives as local Democratic candidates. Commenter Mark Gisleson recently dismissed Obama's ties to the DLC on the specious grounds that Obama had demanded the DLC stop using his name. But Emanuel is still his best bud and his voting record still shows all those embarrassing alliances with Rahm's corporate agenda. Not to mention that little meeting with Wall Street honchos weeks before the election to assure them that they had nothing to worry about from an Obama presidency. Next to those actions, Mark, a PR move like removing his name from a politically unpopular list (the Dem base hates the DLC) doesn't have a lot of weight.
And now Emanuel is liable to be COS - the WH post with the closest and most personal access to the president, and the launching pad for Dick Cheney's career as the ultimate insider and master WH gamesplayer - controlling access and pushing agendas. This is not a comforting thought. The most powerful forces in
I have no idea why I cannot make any of my email programs work. I hate them all.

Cindy, hon, isn't it time to dump the loser Maverick?
Barack 45?
Media pundits who make millions a year are conservative, and they do not give a fuck about the middle class.
Pere Ubu, funny thing, Barney Frank said after the 2006 election that since his opposition said he was running on a radical gay agenda, that obviously he'd been elected to promote just that. It was problematic, tho, since he didn't know of one.
On McLaughlin's show this week Monica "Nixonblower" Crowley was having an aneurism trying to minimize Obama's win. Mandate? Pfft. Support for progressive policies? Please.
As with every other GOP shill I've heard on every media outlet this week (I guess most Dems were too busy to talk to them) there was much finger-wagging and solemn warnings that Obama and those Dems in Congress had Better Not Try To Implement A Dem Agenda or Consequences Would Ensue!!!

Pukecannon is such a shitbag.
So, um, if B. Hussein Obama ran as a conservative... who the hell have they been talking about all these weeks as the "socialist" and "wealth-spreader" and all that?

Piece of cake!
Kyl should take note of the thousands the kids that showed up outside the White House election night to celebrate Obama's victory. Or the thousands that gathered to celebrate at schools all over the country: such as the University of Wisconsin, the University of Michigan, UC-Berkeley, the University of Minnesota, the University of Pennsylvania , and Penn State.
Shut the fuck up Kyl.
And thanks for the link JT
Has anyone ever tried to make cheese from woman's milk?
That might taste pretty good.
Jon Kyl, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. Senate, warned
president-elect Barack Obama that he would filibuster U.S. Supreme
Court appointments if those nominees were too liberal.
Heh. Jon Kyl is going to be thrown out next term. We nearly got him last time - this time, with the Obama victory, he's toast.
Certain frathouses notwithstanding, I suspect it is now thoroughly uncool to be a Young Republican on campuses across the country. More so I mean.
Rahm E. certainly saw that the DLC theory of appealing to conservative, white Southerners as the only route to Democratic revival has been proven to completely wrong. This election has proven that and he's smart enough to know what this election means.
The center today isn't the center those media whores are talking about, it's a center that will raise their taxes and put their employers under fairness and public service requirements. They are seeing the world as they knew it change before their eyes and they can't stand what they are seeing.
They are in denial.
I don't think we have to worry about the media or Republicans killing progressive causes. Emanuel and Pelosi are quite capable of that. They are going to use their $700 billion handout to rich bankers as an excuse that there is only spare change for change.
After further review, I've decided that a filibuster of Judge nominations is a GOOD thing.

I can imagine it now: "HOW DARE these little skulls full of mush take time off from their education to party! Why aren't they in school!? Goddamn irresponsible liberals blurp blurp blurp *shuffles papers*"
Where's Paffuuuutenhauuuer these days?
so what's the deal with michelle's black widow dress the other night?
So Kyl has a litmus test? I thought Republicans were against that?

Jon Kyl
Funny - because I'VE decided that shooting you into the sun is a GOOD thing.
Regarding health care, the Democracy Corps survey offered a relatively progressive statement, which was supported by 58 percent of respondents: "Our health care system needs fundamental reform, we should regulate insurance companies and give everyone a choice between a public plan or what they have right now."
We should shitcan the insurance companies.
Jon Kyl, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. Senate, warned

Court appointments if those nominees were too liberal.
Snowe, Collins, Specter, Gregg,... they need to be told no filibusters of Obama nominees will be tolerated.
Remember what they did when Frist was in control of the Senate, their words then should be thrown in their faces now.
So, um, if B. Hussein Obama ran as a conservative... who the hell have they been talking about all these weeks as the "socialist" and "wealth-spreader" and all that?
The repuke comparison set was Attila the Hun.
The local betting is that Napolitano takes the Senate seat occupied by Kyl.

We should be able to do this. What do you want me to do?

Pere Ubu
Well, hey - don't they claim that college professors are all liberals corrupting our children?
Because, you see, in the Bizarro World in which conservartives live, teaching kids how to think for themselves is corrupting their minds.

You just don't understand the subtleties of my nuanced shift in position.
SEN. JOHN KYL: Well, exactly the opposite. For 214 years it has been the tradition of the Senate to approve judicial nominees by a majority vote. Many of our judges and, for example, Clarence Thomas, people might recall, was approved by either fifty-one or fifty-two votes as I recall. It has never been the rule that a candidate for judgeship that had majority support was denied the ability to be confirmed once before the Senate. It has never happened before. So we're not changing the rules in the middle of the game. We're restoring the 214-year tradition of the Senate because in the last two years Democrats have begun to use this filibuster

Let him fucking try it. It won't go over well in the country. And then wear the fuckers down.
What I thought when I read Kyl's comments at the Washington Monthly was what the fuck, go for it. If appointing people to the Court who are like the people currently on it, appointed and confirmed, indicates that you're a radical communist, then why mess around.
I mean, if Ruth Ginsburg and David Souter are evil radicals, then heck, why even try to compromise? Pick a radical.
I hope this Atroit trip to D.C. for Mr. Obama's inauguration works out. It is a most historic event and I hope you can take part in it as a group.
If you can, I will be enjoying it with you from afar.
The NYT says that McCain is set for a TV appearance on the Leno show Tuesday night. Meanwhile, another article says that Romney and other Republican bigwigs are doing a Caribbean cruise, compliments of the National Review, to plot the future of the conservative movement in the US. As some might say, hilarious.

who cares what the fucking media thinks
the people have been figuring everything out on their own for some time
let's just pass some laws that make it a felony to even try to deny anybody a vote
that means prosecuting anyone who tries that peremptory challenge bullshit
