An Important Segment Of Palin’s Emails Overlooked? »

How much have you heard about the death threats revealed in Sarah Palin’s emails since their release? Probably not much, I would wager.

Obama, “What, Me Worry?” And Other News (& Open Thread) »

That would be the Obama Administration response to the economic crisis in which we find ourselves. Oh, wait – I’m sorry, I meant to say the “bump in the road” we are enduring.

Whiners For Weiner, And Anti-Palin Whining, Too *Open Thread* »

What’s the Big Stink About Trump? »

It is odd that progressives and conservatives alike are so preoccupied with Donald Trump’s potential run for the Presidency while simultaneously averring from the depths of their collective beings that he would have no merit as a candidate.

What The Hell Is Wrong With These People? **Updated** »

More “Birther Nonsense” »

So speaketh Bill O’Reilly, who gets major props from Jon Stewart for saying so. The Business Insider has this headline declaring the Good News, “HALLELUJAH!

All in one post! Whee!! Ahem. Yes, once again, racism is being touted as the cause for the landslide shift in the 2010 election, according to Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA). Good grief. Yes, Rep.

Birthers! Truthers! Mama Grizzlies! Tea Partiers! »

While We Were Distracted This Week By Faux Outrage Over Rhetoric »

What did we miss in the news? Well, a bunch of things, actually. And perhaps this is why this whole ginned up “civility” discussion has been the primary focus of the talking heads.
