Al Franken has a problem: DEAR REPUBLICANS: My boss is not my doctor. My health care choices are none of my boss’s business — and none of yours, either. Seriously — what’s wrong with you guys? Signed, Al Franken & YOUR NAME + OTHERS HERE He thinks allowing individual employers to decide how to best [...]

It’s now come to light that apparently felons in Minnesota gave us Al Franken. Imagine that. Nancy Pelosi has promised us that she will do everything in her power to diligently uphold the highest ethical standards in Congress that she possibly can and not allow HER Congress to return to the moral and ethical abyss [...]

I just listened to Russ Feingold’s ten mintues of fame during the Sonia Sotomayor hearings. He’s nuts. “That is why I suggest to everyone watching today that they be a little wary of a phrase they may hear at these hearings – ‘judicial activism.’ That term really has lost all usefulness, particularly since so many [...]

Minnesota chose Al Franken to represent them in DC. And we all thought electing a “professional” wrestler as governor was a joke. Everyone knows his SNL stint as the unfunniest of the initial SNLers. But, I bet a lot of people didn’t realize he’s an accomplished author as well. A couple of his tomes: Rush [...]

A lot was made of Arlen Specter’s jumping ship and declaring he was a Democrat. His logic was the Republican Party left him.

Arlen Specter switched loyalties today. A move that surprised me only in the fact it proves he’s not completely daft. Some people are reading a lot into this: How much more can the Republicans take? Demoralized, shrinking and seemingly lacking an agenda beyond the word “no,” Republicans today saw their ranks further thinned with the [...]

This is precious. Since Joyner published this very publicly, and I’m sure doesn’t want it kept secret, I’m just gonna post the whole thing here: Matt Stoler is leading the charge for the Netroots to root out the “Bush Dogs” from the Democratic Party, purging it of the impure traitors who do not buy into [...]
