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 [...]
“Fuck the UAW”
This, and other observations, from Glenn Greenwald

Most of the shopping center on the corner of 43rd Avenue and Thomas Road in Phoenix is vacant. Merchants blame a law intended to drive illegal immigrants out of Arizona. (Nicholas Riccardi / Los Angeles Times)
here’s some news of the utterly predictable: Phoenix Arizona’s economy is collapsing because they chased away all the Latinos:
Every time [...]
Krugman Doesn’t get the Game
Over at the NYT, Paul Krugman misses what I think is really going on:
Can Mr. Obama do anything in the time that remains? Midterm elections, where turnout is crucial, aren’t quite like presidential elections, where the economy is all. Mr. Obama’s best hope at this point is to close the “enthusiasm gap” by taking strong [...]
Pat Toomey a Small Businessman? HAHAHA. No.
here’s a video on Pat Toomey “defender of the small businessman”:
HAHAHAHA, that’s hilarious. The TRUTH?
Pat Toomey was a swaps dealer on Wall Street, a player in the derivatives industry, the same industry that almost collapsed the world’s economy.
Toomey’s road from Wall Street to Washington was circuitous. After getting a political science degree from Harvard, [...]

RALLY TO SAVE PA BUDGET
Here we go again…
That’s right, it’s time for another round of Pennsylvania’s legislature versus Pennsylvania’s citizens. Who will be the first to get kicked in the teeth? The elderly? Children? The mentally retarded? Victims of domestic violence? The unemployed?
It’s going to be one hell of a summer folks, and if we’re going to hold [...]
No Unemployment for You
The same Senate that is always able to find money for wars and bank bailouts will not be passing an umployment extension or a jobs bill. This is utter insanity, when the official unemployment rate is nearly 10%, and the unofficial rate is probably closer to 20% as it was in 2009. The bill [...]

Although the link may have changed by the time you read this, on June 23, 2010, the unemployment rate in the state of New York was 8.3%. The US Census says New York’s total population is 19,541,453. Doing some quick math, we’re talking about 1,621,940 people out of work.

Rahm Emmanuel, Architect of Victory!!!!
Also funny if it wasn’t so sad:
Emanuel hopes that by emphasizing energy in the fall, Democrats can attract more young voters to the polls. Generally, the share of the national vote coming from voters under 30 is a third lower in midterm congressional elections than in contests with presidential candidates on the ballot…
Of course, what [...]
