Sites I Visit
My daily clearinghouse for what’s going on in the world continues to be Atrios.
For a passionate working class perspective, it’s always Susie Madrak. I often visit her site before atrios, as a matter of fact. I don’t agree with her on everything, but she has a pretty good record of being right.
For minute analysis, [...]
Following Up with Senator Casey
Dear Ms. Newman and Ms. Schimer:
Yesterday I wrote to you about TSA’s abuse of American citizens and our children, and the disappointing response of the office, which made it sound as if Senator Casey is not concerned that the TSA is abusing its authority. I spoke again this morning with staff member Tayeesha, and she [...]
THIS
I think I saw this first at Americablog, but atrios has it too, and now it’s here. I may break netiquette and post it in its entirety, because it’s that damn good. All bold face is mine.
Peace Sucks a Hairy Asshole
So there’s going to be a lot of ink expended over the next couple of [...]
The Next Time Someone Tells Me “There Were Never Enough Votes for a Public Option”…
I am going to shove this in that person’s face:
In his book, Daschle reveals that after the Senate Finance Committee and the White House convinced hospitals to to accept $155 billion in payment reductions over ten years on July 8, the hospitals and Democrats operated under two “working assumptions.” “One was that the [...]
It’s Getting Old.
I think everybody knows I’m pretty critical of the Obama administration, including this week’s “buck up/get over it” comments, but after a brief tour around the blogosphere today, I’m beginning to side with Joe Biden: jesus fucking christ, STOP WITH THE FUCKING WHINING.
I’m not even going to link to these people. Cenk Uyger’s raging about [...]
Susie Slaps Axelrod
Susie Madrak kicks ass:
Top Obama adviser David Axelrod got an earful of the liberal blogosphere’s anger at the White House moments ago, when a blogger on a conference call directly called out Axelrod over White House criticism of the left, accusing the administration of “hippie punching.”
“We’re the girl you’ll take under the bleachers but you [...]
Time for Another Round of “No Shit, Sherlock”
UPDATED BELOW
sigh:
I simply do not understand the enthusiasm gap, and you manic progressives can figure out how you are going to change your script from blaming Obama for not being liberal enough, because this is Feingold we are talking about.
Really, John? You don’t understand the enthusiasm gap? Because I’ve been reading your site for [...]
Enthusiasm Gap: Stop Dicking Over Your Friends
all over the blogosphere this week, but especially at Booman Tribune, which boasts four different front-page posts on the topic: that’s a LOT of angst for one of the president’s strongest supporters on the intertoobs.
There’s a lot of verbiage about the Democrats’ enthusiasm gap, and no wonder the GOP has a ten-point lead over the [...]
Thank You Kindra Arnesen for Exposing BP’s Lies
Via Susie:
What BP is claiming is that if fishermen choose not to talk part in the oil spill cleanup, BP will consider that as potential income declined and deduct it from their claims.
In other words, if you didn’t want to risk your health and expose yourself to their toxic waste, you’re going to suffer financially [...]
Specter Losing: Not Surprising
It’s always fun when dirty hippy bloggers are more than a few steps in front of the conventional wisdom. I’m writing, of course, of the predictable collapse of Arlen Specter: while both of our big dailies endorsed the senior Senator, one of the only worthwhile writers on their staff got it right. Take it [...]
