Piggie of the Week: A Modest Proposal for Governor Tom Corbett
Governor Tom Corbett to PA’s working poor: “I hope you and your kids starve to death.”
AP Ticker has a more modest proposal:
Eleven Dimensional Chess
Listening to WHYY’s rebroadcast of Radio Times, which deals with the impact of Tom Corbett’s methodically mad and deeply cruel spending cuts, reminded me of something I think it’s important to repeat.
Just so we’re clear, Tom Corbett and the rest of the newly-elected right wing governors care about re-election about as much as Mohammed Atta [...]
Republican Eric Cantor Makes Money if the US Defaults
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor wants the US to default because he will make a killing:
Putting his money where his mouth is? Eric Cantor, the Republican Whip in the House of Representatives, bought up to $15,000 in shares of ProShares Trust Ultrashort 20+ Year Treasury ETF last December, according to his 2009 financial disclosure statement. [...]
Lori Klausutis
For some reason, I’m getting tons of hits on a year old post about Lori Klausutis, the young woman found dead under right-wing liar Joe Scarborough’s desk in DC.
I have no idea why that is. Firedoglake had a piece about Marko “Daily Kos” Moulitsas being banned from Scarborough’s show , but that doesn’t link [...]
Shorter Chris Christie: Philadelphia and New York Do Public Broadcasting Better than Anyone in New Jersey
That is essentially my takeaway on this article:
New Jersey is planning to get out of the broadcasting business, handing control of its New Jersey Network television station to a public broadcasting outfit in New York and laying off its approximately 130 state employees, Gov. Christie announced today.
NJN will become NJTV and will be operated by [...]

I think Anthony Weiner (thanks Susie) is on the right track. I’d go farther though. What NPR should do is send the Magliozzi Brothers out to confront the Republicans. They’re a buttload funnier than that demented, shit-covered walrus Rush Limbaugh, they’d make a mockery out of the likes of Eric Cantor, and they’d probably [...]

Wisconsin
If you need ME to tell you to pay attention to the protests in Wisconsin, you are truly benighted. However, I highly recommend these two articles linked by Susie.
Meanwhile, a recall effort is underway targeting 8 Wisonsin Republicans: they can’t recall Walker til January, but you can bet that’s in the planning stages.
Go get ‘em, [...]
WI Governor Scott Walker is a Liar
Pinocchio: like Scott Walker, a puppet and a liar
MADISON, Wis. — Debate in the State Senate over Wisconsin’s controversial bill to cut collective bargaining rights for public workers ended, at least temporarily, on Thursday morning before it began. As the session was due to begin, Democrats failed to appear in the chamber, leaving the body [...]
Don Rumsfeld Got Soldiers Killed for Something He Didn’t Even Believe In
This is the piece of shit the US Constitution Center has honored with a book tour appearance:
Donald Rumsfeld vowed to fight a “different kind of war.” In the days following the 9/11 attacks, the secretary of defense spoke about how America’s success in Afghanistan depended on the U.S. military being seen as liberators, not infidel [...]
