Or so we hear, from his wife. Senator Brunstetter is a Republican in North Carolina. He introduced an anti-gay marriage amendment. He should have been more careful about having the little lady keep her mouth shut becuase … well … There is a transcript here. I am so confused. I have heat stroke. Do you [...]

Why do Republicans always want to regulate things?
April 19th, 2012 
Greg Laden A while back, in a land far away, something bad happened at a pair of clinics in Pennsylvania, and some people died there. It was pretty horrible. The clinics did not have qualified staff, charged for procedures that were illegal, made millions of dollars on abusing their patients and the system. Pretty much everything that [...]

December 22nd, 2011 Greg Laden Amy Koch was the highly placed Minnesota legislator who recently resigned from her leadership post when it became clear that she was about to be, or was being, accused of/caught doing a staff member. Koch issued an official statement yesterday about the situation: Amy Koch apologized late this afternoon for “engaging in a relationship with [...]

December 22nd, 2011 Greg Laden Over the last few years we’ve seen increasing evidence that the philosophy of Republican elected officials and candidates is to a) garner support from specific groups and then, b) withhold representation of any other groups once elected and even c) go out of their way to harm groups that opposed them during the election. A [...]

December 18th, 2011 Greg Laden This is why I don’t want to hear you belly-aching about Obama and telling us all about how you can’t vote for him because he didn’t do some thing you for some quite possibly invalid reason you thought he would do despite having only two years without a Republican congress and almost no time without [...]

December 18th, 2011 Greg Laden David Greenberg has an Op-Ed at the LA Times asking this question. It reminded me that I used to get a Christmas card, or at least a Holiday card, from Bill Clinton every year, but George Bush never sent me one. Barack Obama hasn’t either, but Al Franken does. Of course, since I personally put [...]

December 1st, 2011 Greg Laden The Republican Governor’s Association met in Florida this week and featured pollster Frank Luntz, who … told attendees that he’s “scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I’m frightened to death.” The pollster warned that the movement is “having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism.” Apparently, there are some interesting changes going [...]

Discordant Democrats vs. Republican Dittoheads
October 30th, 2011 Greg Laden I was disturbed by a recent discussion on my favorite cable TV news channel. Anchors and pundits were discussing the different approaches used by the Republican vs. Democratic Party in the heath care reform fight. An anchor was pressing the two guests about this difference in strategy, challenging them with the idea that the Republicans [...]
No Disaster Relief for Hurricane Vics
September 13th, 2011 Greg Laden From the Raw Story: A package of disaster relief funding worth $7 billion was blocked from coming up for a vote by Senate Republicans on Monday, drawing sharp condemnation from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) who lambasted the conservative party for abandoning Americans in need. “Last night, Democrats tried to move forward on a [...]
“You can’t run from science” …. ha, this guy is cooked
September 8th, 2011 Greg Laden I’m glad to see one Republican overtly say that Science is for real. He’s doomed, of course. Perry is an ass (you can see Perry’s Galileo moment in this video as well).
Don’t Mess with Congressman Paul Ryan
September 8th, 2011 Greg Laden The poor guy was 71 years old and frustrated. Making a joke about him was a real classy move, Ryan.
Fox News Makes Up Hate Speech for Hoffa
September 5th, 2011 Greg Laden Fox News got all huffy and pissy while reporting that James Hoffa Junior told Democratic Party voters to murder Tea Party Republicans that had been put in office during the Great Stupidity that happened last November. But he didn’t. In order to make it look like Hoffa had said this Fox had to lie. Hoffa [...]
Guns: A constitutional right is not what you think it is
September 3rd, 2011 Greg Laden In the United States, you have a right to “bear arms.” This has a special meaning which has largely been distorted by the courts, but nonetheless stands as a fundamental. Many gun owners, unfortunately, not only abuse this right but also go far beyond gun ownership to do things that while technically allowable under the [...]

September 1st, 2011 Greg Laden Well, then not only are going to a) go to hell but also b) to jail if you get caught and c) Sunshine State Republicans want to make sure that does not change. UPDATE: There’s a poll of sorts at the Sun Sentinel, here. What do you think of the cohabitation law?. What do you [...]
