Pete Stark did his best in his effort to win the honor of most unhinged Representative. It’s damn good too. Hank Johnson going into obsessive detail over his concern of Guam tipping over ranks right up there as well. Nancy Pelosi confidently assuring us that once we pass health care reform we’ll find out what’s [...]

OK, so some economist said a whole bunch of people might lose their jobs. Then, the actual numbers came in less than what might have been. Harry Reid was thrilled. You can see the excitement in his eyes. You can hear it in his voice: Now, this is where it gets dicey. The immediate assumption [...]
