Mustache of Misunderstanding, Part 2 of 3
The “serious jacket” also comes with a blue tie okay >:( (CLICK TO EMBIGGEN) Magic Love Hose is not a professional politician. You can trust him because of in spite of that. He has a website and a Twitter and … Continue reading →
Nice Cave You Got Here, Plato
It’s been two and a half years since inauguration and I’m sure we’ll figure out any time now why we’re consistently arriving at different views of everything Obama does. (CLICK TO EMBIGGEN) Magic Love Hose is not a professional politician. You can … Continue reading →
The Stupid Politics Of Freaking Out
I like David Roberts. I could even have a man crush on him for his ability to write about green issues with clarity and honesty. I’ve met him twice at Netroots and been charmed. But he’s been wrong before (haven’t … Continue reading →
The Adult In The Room
What was that about Obama not being firm with Republicans? Because the story this week is that the president is fed up with them. From the transcript: We’ve identified what spending cuts are possible. We’ve identified what defense cuts are … Continue reading →
Photo of the Day
The President doesn’t care about appearing to be in command. He simply is in command. Of all the faces in the room, his is somehow the most sober. There’s no cowboy fist-pumping excitement here. The tension is knife-cutting thick in … Continue reading →

Obama Offs Osama
We still don’t know how Osama bin Laden died, but he’s dead. He was hiding deep inside Pakistan and they got to him. In one fell swoop, the job of accounting for the national trauma of 9/11 is served and … Continue reading →
Morning Awful: Teh Obama Capitulashuns™
The reactive, fissiparous online left has spent the budget debate cutting itself over process. The bluff was called. Obama did something no one has been able to do since the last time Republicans held power in Congress: get the GOP … Continue reading →
Nonviolence And Politics
Nonviolent civil disobedience works by exposing the aggressor. The opposition party lockstepped so much that the media consensus has turned and the president’s approval numbers are going up. Continue reading →
The Obama You Voted For
It shouldn’t surprise us when Republicans hold the UI extension hostage for billionaire tax cuts. While the last thing any sane president wants is to cut off four million Americans right before Christmas, it is exactly the sort of un-governing … Continue reading →
Troops Not Hating Obama
Actually, the reason Obama wants troops home by 2012 is that he’s wildly popular with them. They will be his best spokesmen. There’s nothing Leni Riefenstahl about pictures of enthusiastic soldiers, either; not in the same universe as “Mission Accomplished.” … Continue reading →
