Senator John Cornyn is as lousy a senator as Sen. Jim Bunning is!

Think Progress has a short but sweet post up about how Sen. John Cornyn of Texas completely supported Bunning’s obstruction to allow unemployment benefits for Americans who after a year and a half still can’t find a job, but is now trying to backtrack himself when he found his skirt up over his shoulders and [...]

Massachusetts’ Senator Scott Brown helps the Democrats move a jobs bill forward!

Uh oh. Oh wait. What’s that sound I hear? *cupping ear to listen* Holy cow! It’s the right wing fringe of America screaming and stabbing their guts with butter knives! Wow. What a great sound!
Any comment by the Scott-Brown-Is-The-Savior crowd? Bah hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone support the highly paid CEO’s?

We all have at least one person in our lives who is a highly paid CEO of a company. This person may not be earning what the CEO’s of the banks, AIG, the car companies, the oil industry, or the health insurance companies are earning, but nonetheless, they are making way more money than you [...]

President Obama’s State of the Union address 2010

I can’t wait to watch it!
I thought the following picture was hysterical from The Onion (click for a larger view):

(photo)
If you can’t read The Onion’s caption below the picture, it says, “Obama tells nation he’s going out for cigarettes”. LOL! I’m sure he’s felt that way a few times over the last year.

Uh oh. The CATO Institute releases a pie chart the right wing fringe may not like…

I’m sure Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh will report on this pie chart. Bah hahahahahaha! Oh gawd. Who am I fooling? They only report lies. Nevermind.
From the CATO Institute…a pie chart showing Obama v. Bush spending:

Daniel Mitchell of CATO says: “I’m a big fan of criticizing Obama’s profligacy, but it is inaccurate and/or dishonest to [...]

George Bush is still a crock of bullshit

George Bush gave a speech recently at the university in Texas where his presidential library of lies will be housed. He told the audience that he has kept his values since leaving the White House and he always led America with OUR best interests in mind. Then he lists out his principles, “…free markets open [...]

How much longer will George Bush’s House of Cards he built in 8 years stand?

I read THIS ARTICLE last night and sighed out-loud as if I hadn’t exhaled for years. Yes, you can blame the last few years of Clinton (his Congress was controlled by the republicans) for allowing the deregulation of Credit Default Swaps/derivitives or you can blame Reagan for starting the whole mess, but what happened under [...]

President Obama tells the GOP to grab the mop and start cleaning!

Seriously. He did. I’m not joking.
President Obama’s words (at a San Francisco fundraiser) found on Crooks & Liars tonight:
But I know this is a Democratic event. And I want to talk to all of you just for a second. You know, there are going to be some fierce arguments over the next couple of weeks [...]

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

GLENN BECK AT CPAC 2010: ‘Hello, my name is the Republican Party, and I’ve got a problem. I’m addicted to spending and big government…I’m addicted to spending and I just don’t want to spend today.’ (CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO QUOTE)

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960
