The economic news was so good this morning that a cottage denial industry on the right sprang up just in the last few hours. If you’ve been hanging on by your fingernails for the last several years like me, the end of the crappy job market is nigh. [Read more…]
Ah yes, the inevitable small government BS regularly regurgitated by conservatives whenever there’s a program helping regular folks they would rather redirect to the offshore accounts of uber-rich people, like Romney. Wherein people hear small government and think maybe there’ll be less in the way of speeding tickets or red tape at the DMV, and actually end up with dirtier water and air, and less protection for their hard-won rights and savings. And that’s assuming Mittens’ means it, which given the video below, is debatable.
Sorry folks. The weight of 14 hour days for minimal pay came crashing down on my shoulders last night as it periodically does. I meant to take a refresher nap and the next thing I knew it was 3 in the morning. Fortunately, there’s this thing called the Internet: [Read more…]
Promoted like a monster truck rally, the stakes in tonight’s debate are said to be ginormous. Certainly the media would like there to be a story, better yet a horse race. I personally find it drab and unexciting (If they were actual debates with points and fact checking, that would be different). Nevertheless, willpower and time permitting, I will be here liveblogging Mitt Romney’s Festival of Lies: [Read more…]
Ohio is key to Romney, if he loses that state his path to electoral bliss hits a brick wall. It’s mathematically possible for him to win, but much harder. Recent polls show Obama with solid lead in the state, but voters are fickle and events unpredictable. The good news is early voting begins in the Buckeye Stete this Tuesday, if you know anyone in Ohio, now would be a good time to call them. If you live and/or vote in Ohio, our fate is in your hands this week: now would be a good time to ask a friend or two if they want to head to the polls with you.
If this is The Plan, we may be OK. Because nothing fails quite like not-so-ancient magic rituals: [Read more…]
It was bound to happen sooner or later. The conservative fantasy world, so carefully crafted with Kochwhore pocket change, has built up an alternate reality so seductive that it’s now turning on its creators. One way it manifests is with GOP denial over polling data showing Romney ina death spiral. Garbage in, garbage out, now the untreated run off is flowing like rapids, so why not make an honest buck off of it? [Read more…]
This is so delicious. It seems like it only a few weeks ago when Catholic voters were going to hand the election to Romney cuz the Kenyan anti-colonial socialist was going to side with sluts instead of the good misogynists of Moreltown, Stateasota. I guess everyone’s dumping on Mittens: [Read more…]
If we take this comment from Romney literally, he thinks not only is cold fusion a done deal, but U of U solved it: [Read more…]
The tape that was heard around the world is still circling the global net today. In it Mitt Romney basically calls out half of us as being parasitic moochers who pay no tax and for whom he isn’t concerned with. I’d very much like Romney to walk in my shoes for one month to see just how lazy and entitled I am … Anywho, that’s music to the ears of the trust fund and vulture cap brigades. What might not go over so well is the man in whose home Romney made those remarks: [Read more…]
