My friends, I was very, very wrong and for that, I am terribly sorry. I said that I believed that the entire Benghazi, Libya debacle was over-hyped by the Republicans; and I still believe that, to a point. However, there are many things that have come up since then, which I simply cannot defend. They are: The IRS …
This also comes via HotAir.com and yes, via Ed Morrissey: (I only link to this one, because like Ed, My jaw went “CLANK!” when I saw this…) Transcript: BOB SCHIEFFER, “FACE THE NATION”: Do either of you at this point think there’s a chance that we would have to put U.S. troops in there or …

It’s a pretty provocative headline. But, it’s sorta true and sorta not. I have written before about Detroit’s problems, so, I know full well of what goes on around here. I also happen to know that Detroit’s Auto companies sales are up too. Anyhow, I guess Governor Snyder, in between supposedly bringing in jobs for this state, …

This is what happens when you invade sovereign nations based upon bad intelligence and do not bother to verify said intelligence. BAGHDAD – Car bombs struck two outdoor markets and a group of taxi vans in Shiite areas across Iraq on Friday, killing at least 36 people and wounding nearly 100 in the bloodiest day in more than two …

I have mixed feelings about this one: “Soldiers with minority religious beliefs and atheists often feel like second-class citizens when Christianity is seemingly officially endorsed by their own base,” American Atheists president David Silverman told Fox News. “We are very happy the Pentagon and the Army decided to do the right thing.” A military spokesman …
A very good point: Obama won two elections giving voice to these policies, but within the neocon-dominated punditocracy and a Congress subject to pressure by the increasingly extremist American Israel Public Affairs Committee, they are akin to kryptonite. Hagel’s critics have been quick to unsheathe the McCarthyite tactics employed whenever opposition to any position of …

I hate to be the one to say it, but, sadly, it is true: It was two weeks before Election Day when Mitt Romney’s political director signed a memo that all but ridiculed the notion that the Republican presidential nominee, with his “better ground game,” could lose the key state of Ohio or the election. …

Is because of the steaming pile of bullshit below: Prejudice—like cooking, wine-tasting and other consummations—has an olfactory element. When Chuck Hagel, the former GOP senator from Nebraska who is now a front-runner to be the next secretary of Defense, carries on about how “the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here,” the odor …

Update – March 17, 2013: I felt the need to update this, because I noticed someone looked for it or something. Gun, Knife, and Ammo ads are great; but when they are not paying. They are, in fact, a good waste of time and space. I did have, at the point of being annoying, a …

Thank you baby Jesus…. Minnesota Public Radio reports: Audio: WASHINGTON — Rep. Michele Bachmann has built her political career by being outspoken. It has helped her raise tens of millions of dollars and go from obscure back bencher to presidential candidate in three terms. In the six weeks since the election, Congress has been wrapped up …

I find this to be very encouraging, perhaps Governor Snyder did not realize what he was getting into, or maybe he did. The Story via Greg Sargent at Washington Post: The “right to work” battle in Michigan may not be over quite yet. Top Democrats in the Michigan Congressional delegation just wrapped up their meeting with Governor …

I am, of course, referring to this video and article… First the Video: (Via Mediaite) Scarborough has a point, the Conservative movement has become a bit of a racket and yes, there are people getting rich off promoting the extremist crap that is on the right. I could name names, but I really do not want to …

That the very neoconservatives that supported Mitt Romney for President, are now actively participating in his mocking? I guess that is what happens in the Republican Party, when you cannot deliver an election for them. It is sickening.
I don’t know Brooks Bayne personally, but he is spot on with this here: New ideas? But this sounds too familiar. Why is that, Kristol? Oh yeah, it’s plank #2 of the Communist Manifesto, “A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.” No surprise from Bill Kristol. His dad was part of The New York Intellectuals, a group of leftist Trotskyites …
