Understanding the deficit pt: 13
The Center for american progress breaks down the budget. Today, James Inhofe, crack addict of Oklahoma (is Oklahoma the stupidest place on the planet?) claimed that the president’s comments about the Bush administration’s contribution to the deficit “disingenuous” and “just not true.” I’ve discussed that enough – Obama’s comments are fact. I do understand the [...]

Constructing a trillion dollar deficit
As stupidity gets repeated, often stupid people believe it. If you really have an interest in the deficit, look at the last two budgets before you make a remark. I keep discovering that people who I previously assumed had functioning mental synapses, are actually vegetables. Makes me wonder what the percentage of vegetables vs. informed [...]

Rachel Maddow catches what Ed has
Ed Schultz has a hard-on for the term ‘public-option’. Tonight Rachel showcased her dislike of the term “spending freeze”, without being able to notice that all spending freezes are not equal. Her guest, vice president Biden’s economic advisor gave it a good shot, but she was stuck. First time I’ve been less than thrilled with [...]

Ed Schultz and the art of misunderstanding
The host of the Ed Show has been a ranting machine throughout the health care debate. He’s hard to watch. And its clear he’s had his hopes set squarely on having a public option. Which isn’t a bad position, considering the majority of the country wants a public option (according to recent polls and polls [...]

Another fine example of dishonest republicans
This comes from repeat offender, Chairman Michaele Steele, who attached A Census to his push-polling questionaire. And look at how the republicans try to dodge all responsibility for the deficit (they are responsible for the majority). Politico (Dick Cheney’s internet mouthpiece) doesn’t discuss the details. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31956.html But take a look at one of my previous [...]

Our dysfunctional senate and minority abuse of the filibuster
I’ve had the impression that nearly every piece of legislation over this last year has required 60 votes (Every democrat before they recently lost their supermajority). That is NOT how the senate is supposed to work. Then we’ll have republican agents complaining that things didn’t get done (a lie, talking point) and try to lay [...]

Sad Revelations & Transparency added more to the deficit than obama
Even our brightest* have ZERO CLUE about politics. But they’ll make decisions about politics based on a limited, skewed version of reality. Might as well watch Fox, for all the difference that makes. These people regurgitate headlines. They don’t read or understand the article. And they likely don’t separate out an article’s author’s impression from [...]

Pippin’s Song
This minute section of the 3rd movie was one of my favorite scenes. Apparently, the song was put together almost last minute by the actor playing Pippin. This girl has a great voice. And even better. Guy this time. Reverb, but sounds good

Outlaw Global Warming?
Great idea! If only the planet would play along. Bah-dump-bump. Actually this is a reference to a post at thinkprogress, entitled “After hottest decade in history, senators attempt to outlaw science of global warming.” As scientists announce that the 2000s were the hottest decade in recorded history, U.S. senators are working to outlaw the reality [...]
