Morning Awful: Gingrich Geller Gambit
Newt Gingrich will blow any dog whistle and broadcast any bullshit. It takes a craven, soulless person to say things like “we are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism” with a straight face. Yesterday, the GOP … Continue reading

Life on Mars
The debate last night included some astounding nonsense about the president’s space policy. Moreover, the remarks in question are counterfactual and dissonant. From the fast transcript, edited for coherence: Romney: Get rid of subsidies. I spent time with 8 people … Continue reading

Morning Awful: Peak Gingrich (UPDATED)
(UPDATE) Newt has imploded like a terrorist nuke; ground zero is in Iowa. I knew this would happen. Newt is sinking quickly as he keeps talking. He’s not the reasonable man in the room, he’s the nut case who wants to … Continue reading
