As far as I'm concerned, the Tea Party is just the story of the Republican party from Nixon to Bush II, retold at 78rpm. Conservatives, disgusted with the dishonor and excesses heaped upon them by a corrupt and incompetent Republican Administration, attempt to reclaim their place by going populist. ...

Remember the "If Abortion Is Murder" thread?
As I recall, the idea that someone would decide to start investigating miscarriages was thought of as laughable, at the time. Here we go: Ga. Law Could Give Death Penalty for Miscarriages —By Jen Quraishi | Wed Feb. 23, 2011 5:32 AM PST It's only February, but this year has been a tough one for wome...

Re: Election 2009 roundup
So both New Jersey and Virginia (both states who helped elect Obama) now have Republican governors. In order to mitigate these victories, the GOP decided to go completely insane in upstate New York, and a Democrat won a seat held by Republicans since the time of Methuselah. And the people of Maine ...

For the record, I got the AP version from NPR this morning. Now, did FOX cover the 160,000 folks who protested in favor of gay rights in DC a week or so ago? 'Cause, you know, they seem to like protests of any size, right down to a couple of hundred. Their producers like to get the folks to yell lou...

Shepard Smith's show is on 7-8, and it's not OpEd. Gretta's show isn't OpEd, either. how much censorship does the White House refusing to take FOX's news reportage seriously represent? Again, in order to respond, I'm forced to correct the characterization of the stakes here. No one is accusing Obam...

A little perspective: FOX is piped into 90 million American homes. Of those 90 million, 3% watch FOX. Now, I'm going to assume that most of the people with basic cable who watch FOX have jobs. Checking the TV schedule in the paper, the hours when most employed people are home and awake (between 6pm ...

Also, we're not talking about your (or anyone's) personal spending power. We're talking about an national average wage that has remained fairly stagnant, when indexed for inflation, or even gone down. Cail, I can't tell if you are disagreeing with me, or agreeing from the other side of the argument....

I don't remember launching a defense on the bank bailout, beyond pointing out that Bush had fewer strings attached to the first half of it than Obama did, even those were only there because the Dems told Bush he had to put them in. It was a bad idea, but I don't think that the bailout being a bad id...

I understand your point, but the thing that keeps occuring to me is that the bank bailout pretty much proves, and in the most direct way possible, that when you throw money at the top, it pretty much stays there. The money we gave them was used for (yes) bonuses to the guys that screwed the pooch in...
