It’s working out just fine for me, thank you very much. The American economy added 162,000 jobs in March, offering some hope that the labor market, after shedding millions of jobs during the recession, has reached a turning point… The pace of job growth in March was the best in three years. Suck it, Palin. I’m just sayin’…

File this one in the “Are you effing KIDDING me???!” folder: The Republican National Committee sent a fundraising mail piece earlier this month with a return number that leads to a phone-sex line offering “live, one-on-one talk with a nasty girl who will do anything you want for just $2.99 per minute.” At the bottom of a piece designed to […]

You know you want one. Well, I know I do anyway. I’m just sayin’…

Gotta love this. Tim Walberg, one-term Congressman from Michigan’s 7th district is bragging — dude, BRAGGING — that Michele Bachman and Joe Wilson want him back in Congress. From his latest ridiculous email: As a note, I was in Washington D.C. for a few days last week garnering more support for our campaign and meeting with former colleagues. Among conservatives […]

Michigan’s been in the news a LOT lately. From our governor forcing the Att. Gen. to intervene against himself to Militiamen Gone WildTM, things are a bit crazy. Now come the Howell Teabaggers: Starting Monday, Livingston County will be “ground zero” for an effort to place a proposal for Michigan to opt out of federal health-care law on the November […]

He was warned, oh yes he was. Having missed Bill Maher’s “New Rule“, the GOPosaurs warned the president that, by God, if he made any recess appointments, well, they would just quit being all bipartisany. So he did anyway. 15 of ’em. Average number of days these folks have been waiting to be confirmed: 214. Now he’ll have to pay […]

Most news outlets are reporting that the Teabagger Clown Show in the DesertTM drew about 9,000 people. That’s pretty righteous, considering they were out in the middle of nowhere on a dusty, windblown plot of desert land and it was COLD! I’ll give the Teabaggers credit for their enthusiasm if nothing else. There’s a great wrap-up with some terrific pictures […]

I shouldn’t say this is “unbelievable” but it is. I suppose nothing should surprise me anymore. Representatives from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) drafted a bipartisan statement urging civility and decrying violence in the wake of the threats and violent rhetoric that erupted across the country this after Sunday’s historic vote on health insurance reform. This is it: As leaders […]

Today the Teabag Party Express starts it 2010 World Tour in Searchlight, Nevada, home of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Organizers said they are expecting 10,000 people. It’s a little something I’m calling the Clown Show in the DesertTM Searchlight’s population, according to teh Googles, is 798. It was 576 after the 2000 census. Holy freakin’ clown show, Batman! This […]
