It is not news that there are violent whack jobs on the fringe of the Republican Party. The last Presidential campaign gave us plenty of evidence, and we don’t really need Alexandra Pelosi’s film to tell us not only that there are extremist whack jobs out there on the Republican fringe, ...

I’m thinking we need to change the name from “Whack Job of the Week.” They are all whack jobs. Maybe a different name every week, or something like that. For Bunning, a Hall of Fame baseball player and barely adequate human, I’m thinking “Bobblehead” works. I̵...

Barack Obama made a well-received speech to Congress last night. He appealed directly to the American people, whether they are hurt directly by the recession or know people who are. And Obama was positive about the character of the American people and how that character, with leadership by governmen...

I just can’t get over this New York Times poll this morning. Obama is getting the backing of the people of America in far higher numbers than just those who voted for him, and by far they are optimistic about the stimulus. How do they favor the Repubs and their “do nothing” and ...

Utah State Senator Chris Buttars has been reprimanded by his state party. (We wrote about this the other day.)

Every once in a while you’ve got to stop and smell the manure the Republicans are spreading and just wonder if anyone on their side believes any of their crap. It’s insane. Here’s a party that has fought for every single tax cut since Reagan was in office. We’re talking just ...

Had to make that the Feb. 5th edtion because I know there will be some GOP racism tomorrow, or the next tomorrow after that. They just can’t help the feelings of their membership, and that membership listens far too much to Rush to understand what can be said in public. Well, or even private. ...

Everyone knows Hillary Clinton was the most hated politician of the last 20 years, on either side of the aisle, at least most hated by the GOP. Just the mad and insane rumormongering about Hillary Clinton is enough to amaze. They said she killed Vince Foster because of an affair, for God’s sak...

Kit Bond is retiring after he completes his term ending in 2010. That’s the word from RawStory. Bond has had a remakable career which includes becoming the youngest Governor in Missouri history back in 1972. I was surprised to learn that at 37 years old Bond was on the short list to run as Vic...
