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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

It’s easy-peasy. Just head over to this site, click a few drop-down menus and before you know it, viola! You have your very own personalized apology to the de facto head of the Republican Party. Be the first on your block to pucker up and kiss the extraordinarily large, flabby buttocks of the Conservative-in-Chief. He’s waiting… I’m just sayin’…

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.” […]

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 […]

I know, I know, “conservative Republicans” is straight out of the Department of Redundancy Department. Forgive me. Anyway, wanna know how to drive one crazy? Show ’em these Gallup poll results: See that last little light green bar there? The one on the far right that says 42%??? That’s his approval rating among REPUBLICANS. They just hate that. I’m just […]

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 […]

This goes beyond the bounds of political correctness. This is pure and unadulterated RACISM. Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose is finding himself in hot water after sending out this fake photo of watermelons on President Barack Obama’s White House front lawn. Grose’s email included the heading, “No Easter Egg hunt this year.” Here’s the picture: More HERE. Turns out Grose […]

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 […]
