Over at “Independent and Conservative” (which seems to confirm the truth about Independents in American politics) she generates a list of 17 things that one can do to piss of liberals on Twitter. Honestly, I’m really perplexed as to why someone would want to deliberately set out to poison political discourse in the country instead [...]

I wonder how one gets to the point where the United States  gets divided into two camps. You are either a liberal or a conservative. You are either American or Non-American. You are either with us or against us. The Tea Party movement seems to pride itself in their absolute certainty of their views. They [...]

I can’t say that all conservatives are as virulent and petulant as this one, but it was an interesting look into the mindset of someone who is really deep into the wingnut land. I’ve decided to not name any names because that’s not really how I want to engage it, but rather, will respond to [...]

What’s the role of government? What does government do? It seems that there is a huge gap between the Right and Left on that issue. Conservative ideology tends to view government as an aloof entity that only intervenes when it comes to issues of national security. Liberal ideology tends to look at government as a [...]

Someone linked me RedState this morning and that was a mistake. I can’t believe how much they blow hot air and lie over there. They are blaring that the CBO strikes the Democrats again! Says Cap and Trade legislation will hurt the economy! Well, not exactly, Elmendorf testified before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources [...]

RedState sometimes baffles me with their inanity. But this is truly bizarre. Olympia Snowe has sold out the country. Having been banished to our world after Aslan chased her out of Narnia, Snowe is intent on corrupting this place too. So we should melt her. What melts snow? Rock salt. I’m going to ship this [...]

Stall. Stall. Stall. They’ll fight dirty now, as evidenced by the AHIP report. What’s more, they are apparently neglecting all aspects of the bills and only focusing on the regulations that they want to focus on to get the worst possible picture. Imagine, an insurance industry report showing dire things for the insurance industry in [...]

Over at a charming blog, called “Liberal Pinheads” (which means people that don’t agree) listed Laura Ingraham’s top ten ways to “fix the US.” Despite not having any commentary from the blog author (yay for just spreading talking points) I found most of the ideas pretty, well, vapid. 1. Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights (TABOR). Limit [...]

I wasn’t really following the story too much but apparently the US lost it’s bid to host the Olympics in Chicago. What I found amusing was the Drudge Report’s big blaring headline: THE EGO HAS LANDED WORLD REJECTS OBAMA: CHICAGO OUT IN FIRST ROUND The ego has landed? Really? Amazing. So Fox News naturally picks [...]

Disappointing news coming out of the Senate Finance Committee today: Rockefeller said his amendment, which was defeated 15-8, would probably save $50 billion over 10 years and reduce costs for families, not focus on profits for insurers such as Philadelphia-based Cigna Corp. However, Rockefeller reportedly said later that he was surprised that 8 Democrats voted [...]
