The same generation that despises their parents’ generation because they are so smart and Baby Boomers are just so dumb, can’t seem to stay away from the old parental teat. As I have mentioned a number of times, many of them are pushing 30 and beyond — and have been in the habit of still [...]

As we recall, the cardboard cutout humping children working at the White House recorded 440 Congressional Districts that received $6.4 Billion in Stimulus money which was used to create jobs. The problem is, none of those districts exist. Well they do now. A well-fed Uber-conservative “Think Tank” guy named Grant Bosse has announced his Congressional [...]

No kidding. You can’t make this shit up. This animal actually said that. I just cannot believe it. I mean I really can’t believe it. I’m so pissed off I had to post this on my “day off!”.

The Senate is getting ready to address the bill that was initially intended but they broke their promise to rein in thieving credit card companies that have taken to arbitrarily punishing good, reliable customers for their own bad management and greed. But don’t expect much So what else is new? from Congress. As usual, they [...]

Editor’s Note: Kudos (!) to Uppity for producing this report on Vitter’s astonishingly disgusting stunt. ………………………………………………….. Our own Freedom Fairy drew my attention to the fact that the appointment of Craig Fugate to FEMA is being blocked by Senator David Vitter.

At a time when our National Debt has now reached a level so large that most Americans don’t even know exactly how many zeros are attached to it, John Kerry wants to make newspapers “Not for profit” so that they no longer have to pay taxes. Hours before a Senate hearing on struggling newspapers, Sen. [...]

UPDATE: “Report: U.S. Reporter Held in Iran Hospitalized“: “Reporters Without Borders says the American journalist on a hunger strike for two weeks to protest her imprisonment in Iran was briefly hospitalized after she intensified her fast by refusing to drink water.” We realize she’s just a woman, and we know already how much they mean [...]

Toss in the point at which Coleman stops making a fool of himself, and the Magic Number in the Senate is 60. Gee, the Republican party sure made a smart move alienating Specter, hey? One could almost imagine that they were working for the Democratic Party. Hanging on like a dog with a rag in [...]

During discussions of what a racist, bigoted, sexist pig Larry Summers is, one commenter got to the heart of Larry’s problem. The knocks against Mr. Summers are by now familiar. During his five years at Harvard, his most high-profile moment came in 2005 when the school’s faculty attacked him for comments he made about differences [...]
