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 [...]
Put On a Happy Face (Big Brother is Watching).
Put On a Happy Face (Not a Relentlessly Negative One)
White House proposal would ease FBI access to records of Internet activity:
The Obama administration is seeking to make it easier for the FBI to compel companies to turn over records of an individual’s Internet activity without a court order if agents deem the information relevant to [...]
Oh Come ON NYT
While rightfully criticizing the Obama Administration for rushing to judgement, the nytimes forgets to name names: it was serial liar, right-wing con-man, and outright fraud Andrew Breitbart who set this whole thing up.
Name names, New York Times. Stop giving shits like Breitbart a pass.
Related: John Col objects to an admittedly cheap shot.
I happen to think, [...]
Fake President Maddow for Real president in 2012
If you’re like me, you were profoundly overwhelmingly underwhelmed by Obama’s mushy, defensive, and vapid speech on Tuesday, which was supposed to address the Gulf Coast oil blowout. Instead of specifics, we mostly got platitudes, vagaries, and an exhortation to pray.
I don’t have cable, so I only got to see Rachel Maddow’s response this [...]
Philadelphia Newspapers For Sale, But Philadelphia Newspapers Yawn At News
[note: i'll be reformatting those screen shots later today].
It’s 8:40 in the morning and I should be getting ready for work. Instead, I’m running late because I was listening to WHYY’s Sue Phillips do a fantastic piece on today’s auction, which will see the bankrupt Philadelphia Media Holdings sold off to the highest bidder. [...]
Credit Where Credit is Due: A Brief Update on Ann Althouse
Even though I’m having a lot of fun at the conservatives’ expense with the last two posts about photos of me gargling teabags (richly deserved fun, I might add), I do want to give credit where credit is due, and Ann deserves some credit.
With some trepidation, I emailed Ms. Althouse about the photo at her [...]
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
You may remember that last year, I went to the Philadelphia pathetic hissy fit Tea Bag Party, and had some fun at the expense of the lunatics. One of the shots my brother Ray took may have even ended up on Bill O’Reilly’s show, described as “so cile I can’t show it” or some such [...]
Read More..>>How to Know When Health Care Reform is Dead
Since late last week, my inbox has been flooded with advocacy/fundraising pieces from Planned Parenthood, NOW, NARAL, the Democratic Party, HCAN, and pretty much every other interest group with a dog in the health care fight. Every single one of them has some version of “It’s not over yet!”
That’s how you know it’s over: [...]
The Audacity of Lies
This has to rank up there with “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” in terms of blatant falsehoods that are easily disproved.
Memo to Obama: there’s this thing called “the Internet” which functions as a repository for public statements.
It’s that kind of audacious lying that destroys presidential credibility.
Public Response to Public Smears
Minor Threat, Seein’ Red
The guys who run the blog Butt Head Ass Hat Rump Roast took it upon themselves to say some really shitty things about me because I objected to something one of their writers wrote about my friend, Susie Madrak.
As if parroting PUMA nonsense back in the day wasn’t enough of a drag [...]
