Philly Bits: It’s a Mandate, Bizotch!
Ray has great stuff today.
One of the most important is this catch: Novak is pretending Obama doesn’t have a mandate:
Novak yesterday:
When Franklin D. Roosevelt won his second term for president in 1936, the defeated Republican candidate, Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas, won only two states, Maine and Vermont, and Democrats controlled [...]
Kick Lieberman Out of the Caucus
Image taken from daily Kos, from Zina Saunders, who does fantastic work. I couldn’t find the original.
Aravosis at Americablog has a concise and comprehensive list of Liberman’s broken promises:
1. He endorsed the Republican presidential candidate, with the clear intent to leave his Senate seat by becoming McCain’s VP or a cabinet secretary. He was going [...]
David Brooks: “Sour Grapes”
Oh dear. Poor David Brooks is crying “sour grapes” again:
Nov. 4, 2008, is a historic day because it marks the end of an economic era, a political era and a generational era all at once.
Economically, it marks the end of the Long Boom, which began in 1983. Politically, it probably marks the end of conservative [...]
Dear Hank Williams Junior: You and Sarah Palin Are Quite a Pair. Of Assholes, That Is.
I don’t understand it. Your dad made such great music, and your son is equally awesome.

Now He Tells Us
Francis Fukuyama, neo-con and Iraq war cheerleader:
I’m voting for Barack Obama this November for a very simple reason. It is hard to imagine a more disastrous presidency than that of George W. Bush. It was bad enough that he launched an unnecessary war and undermined the standing of the United States throughout the world in [...]
Bailout or Handout?
From yesterday’s Times:
According to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, the chief proponent of the big bank bailout, flooding the banks with taxpayers’ money was supposed to get them to start lending freely again. And that, in turn, was supposed to stabilize the markets and prevent the downturn from being worse than it otherwise would be.
It was [...]
GOP Staffers: Waitin’ In Your Welfare Line
A glance at the Republican job bank page on Texas Rep. John R. Carter’s website paints the whole, bleak picture with what it doesn’t show: real jobs.
“It’s a double-whammy,” said Brad Traverse, whose staffing website, www.bradtraverse.com, is a popular destination for job seekers on the Hill. “You have more firms who are both looking for [...]
