I Love Ann Arbor

I Love Ann Arbor

My wife and I moved about two and half years ago to be nearer to Ann Arbor because it’s truly one of the most awesome Midwest towns. It combines the excitement of a university town with progressive liberal politics and sprinkles the whole thing with awesome restaurants, pubs, and places to shop. One of our favorite hangouts is the Arbor […]

Michael Steele Gets Freeped – ‘Snot pretty

Cross-posted at Daily Kos. From time to time, it’s “fun” to wade into the slime muck that is the [whispers] Free Republic to see how they are reacting to things. For those that do not know, Free Republic is one the two largest conservative forums on the web. They try desperately to be as relevant as the liberal Daily Kos […]

Republicans Stop Stimulus Spending In Michigan

Republicans Stop Stimulus Spending In Michigan

The Associated Press today is reporting that the top Republicans in Michigan are delaying the spending of Stimulus Package money while they form a “special appropriations committee” to study how best to spend it for a few months. Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop of Rochester said he wants the effort to be bipartisan and include members of the Democrat-led state […]

MagLev Train From Disneyland to Las Vegas: LIE!

You gotta hand it to the Republicans. When they want to defeat something, they will go to any lengths to do so. Including just totally making shit up. By now, every American is sure to heard about Harry Reid’s “Sin City Express” earmark that was in the stimulus package. As it’s told, he was able to include a pork barrel […]

A Party of Delusionists, Continued

The Republicans are convinced (or at least appear to be convinced) that they are winning the debate on the economic stimulus package. Eric Cantor produced an obnoxious video that I refuse to link to that has a giant floating “0” (the numeral zero) amidst things that were supposedly in the stimulus bill (most of which have been debunked) all set […]

Atlas Didn’t Shrug – John Galt 2009 is Staying

David Weigel reports over at the Washington Independent that Rep. John Campbell (R-CA) thinks our society is now beginning to look like the society in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. “The achievers, the people who create all the things that benefit rest of us, are going on strike. I’m seeing, at a small level, a kind of protest from the people […]

Steele Apologizes to RNC Chief Rush Limbaugh

The other day, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele made a horrible mistake. By total accident, without meaning to he did something for which is eternally sorry: He criticized the ACTUAL head of the Republican Party, comedian Rush Limbaugh. “Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh — his whole thing is entertainment. He has this incendiary — yes, it’s ugly.” […]

Grown-ups in Washington, Children in the GOP

I’ve been marveling lately at how totally amazingly awesomely great it is that we finally have grown-ups back in charge in Washington, D.C. Then, during the Conservative Political Action Conference this week, they trotted out this little Alex P. Keaton wannabe: How pathetic is your political party when your most eloquent spokesperson is 13 years old? I thought Sarah Palin […]

Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal: Total Liar

Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal: Total Liar

This past week after President Obama gave what can only be called an inspirational speech to Congress and the nation about his agenda for the next four years and beyond, Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal gave the official Republican Response. Before I go on, it should be noted that his performance during this “Response” has been panned by nearly everyone […]

Conservatives In the Unemployment Line: We’re All Socialists Now

I work in the very conservative Livingston County, Michigan. You may know of the city of Howell because it’s where a former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, Robert Miles, lived for some time. Even recently mysterious pamphlets have shown up in the driveways of Howell residents condemning Tiger Woods for marrying a white woman. Many of coworkers are […]

A Party of Delusionists

Frank Rich has a stunningly good editorial today in the New York Times. I highly commend it to your attention. In it, he says something that I’ve been saying for weeks: Barack Obama’s opponents always underestimate him. What’s more, his supporters do as well. AM I crazy, or wasn’t the Obama presidency pronounced dead just days ago? Obama had “all […]
