I have only three words to say about this video: It is totally freaking hilarious. (Watch it to see why that comment is funny.) I’m just sayin’…

I’m pretty puzzled why House Democrats are going the route of using the “Deem and Pass” procedure to pass the Senate’s version of the health insurance reform package + the sidecar bill to “fix” it. Seems like they just looo-ooove to hand the Republicans brickbats to clobber them over the head with. And one that sounds like “Demon Pass”? Are […]

In case you’re ever talking to Bart Stupak or someone else concerned about the abortion language in the health insurance reform bill, simply commend their attention to pages 118-124.

Dang it. I’m just sayin’…

Rachel Maddow has been on FIRE this week. I’ve been a fan of hers since I started listening to her Air America podcasts three years ago. Smart. Funny. Brilliant. Incisive. Genius. Awesome. All of these words describe her well. When she’s on a panel, she’s the smartest person there. When she’s on the radio, she has no peer. When she’s […]

First of all, congratulations to Nawlins and Saints fans everywhere. What a great game, great victory and a great team with tons of heart. The game just finished and I’m pretty sure I can hear the party all the way up here in Michigan. Speaking of Michigan, could you guys send a little good luck juju up to us? We […]

Aw, Jebus. Dear Lord baby Jebus: (H/T Think Progress) WALLACE: How hard do you think President Obama would be to defeat in 2012?
