I was so disappointed when I heard the news about North Carolina this morning. There's still a lot of work to do.Re: Morning Awful: North Carolina

Bradley Manning Was Naked When He Joined The Army
Like Bradley Manning, I have processed through a MEPS center and been inducted into the US Army. I had to get naked in the basement so a doctor could examine me for anything out of the ordinary. Was Bradley Manning … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Malkin Malevolence
Did you know that making fun of John McCain by photoshopping bloody fangs into his mouth is exactly the same as calling for “Second Amendment remedies”? Or that Ron Paulite-9/11 “truthers” assaulting a Laura Bush fan in a wheelchair are … Continue reading
POLITICO Gets Desperate
Drudge-link trolling with nontroversy! Yes, the Obama team offered Sestak a job to lure him away from his interest in running against Specter. Guess what? He wasn’t an official candidate yet and he’s eminently qualified for a plum Navy/DoD job. … Continue reading
Nontroversy Born
So the president showed up in Quincy, IL today to talk about Wall Street reform and a group of teabaggers showed up to stand with Wall Street. Apparently, they found it amusing that a SWAT team stood across the street. … Continue reading

ABC: Always Broadcast Controversy

Crying Wolf
I’ve had quite enough of Simon Johnson sounding the alarm over Obama’s nuances. This is ridiculous — an artificial Bloomberg-HuffPo panic. The quotes that set off an overnight sensation: Bloomberg today reports President Obama as commenting on the $17 million … Continue reading
Sarahpalooza! II: Convention Crashing
The revolution will be monetized. Sorry about the audio quality at two points; there’s nothing I can do until such time as Teh Evil Plan™ sees fit to cut me a fat check to buy better equipment. If you haven’t … Continue reading
Great Point
It’s hilarious when Republicans mutter about politesse and complain about “lecturing.” Jamie Holly of Intoxination puts the kibosh on the “Obama shouldn’t attack the Supreme Court!” meme: The Constitution specifically sets up three equal branches of government. The very basis … Continue reading
