George talks, you listen.

The following went out to about 800-1000 Philadelphia Democrats, progressives, and left-leaning independents this morning, many of who are members of MoveOn, DFA, Philly for Change, and other activist groups. My dad always said, when someone tries to bully you, hit back and hit hard. Pat and Joe want to tap my phones? [...]
Read More..>>Who Died and Left Comcast in Charge?
Via Greenwald, Comcast seems to think that they’re above criticism, and above the law.
As many Pennsylvanians know, electing Chris Carney was a BIG mistake. First, he lied to progressives to obtain their money by pretending to champion issues he never had any intention of standing up for. Now he’s trying to get companies like [...]
In the Tank
So much for the liberal media.
John McCain and Barack Obama both appeared before the nation’s newspaper editors yesterday. The putative Republican presidential nominee was given a box of doughnuts and a standing ovation. The likely Democratic nominee was likened to a terrorist.
Read the whole thing. The press was literally handing donuts to McCain: you [...]
Saw This Coming Too.
A Return to the Cold War
administration, military and intelligence officials assigned to counterterrorism have begun to change their view.

The NY Times presses forward in its participation with Smear Obama As An Anti-Semite campaign, which began with Little Timmy Russert’s Farrakhan nonsense earlier this week.
Greenwald:
One of this week’s hysterical press scandals was that Minister Louis Farrakhan praised Barack Obama’s candidacy even though Obama had previously denounced numerous Farrakhan remarks and the Obama campaign did [...]
I Have a Reason to Be Hostile.
Every couple of weeks (or days depending on my mood), I like to call up Arlen Specter’s office and remind his staff that he’s a stupid fucking asshole. The conversation usually goes like the one I had this morning, after putting 3 gallons of gas in my van, at $3.11 a gallon.
“Hi there, it’s [...]
Allyson Schwartz: Not So True
Writing in the City Paper, Paul Fain makes some truly absurd claims in his hagiography of Allyson Schwartz, D-Mastercard.
Congress is getting serious about trying to jump-start the sluggish economy, and has been working overtime on a short-term stimulus plan. It’s an unusually bipartisan deal that could include checks of up to $600 per person sent [...]
Debates
There are a couple of good live-blogs of the Democrat debates at BMT and FDL this morning.
I haven’t watched any of them. Some might say that’s shameful, but A) I don’t have cable, and more importantly B) for as long as I’ve watched political debates, they’ve seemed to be little more than opportunities for the [...]
