Now, I would have said “ice to an eskimo”, or “s**t to farmer”. But, that would be stereotyping. In Chris Matthews minds, connecting a black man to watermelons is nothing to blink an eye at. Some people will fein shock and horror at Dan for being so, [...]

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 by Harry [...]

People all over the country are really bothered by the fact that Senator Jim Bunning shut down the federal government.  I mean, people are really bothered by this:

Just a few more months of his idiotic ranting and he is finally finished!!

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you’ve been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting [...]

A few days ago Obama told a crowd in Michigan that the stimulus was working.

Penn State University was checking into the ethics of Michael Mann after it was revealed his hockey stick theory was most likely contrived.  They announced their investigation.  Obama gave Mann $541,000 in stimulus money to do what he’s always done, no questions asked.  Penn State dropped their investigation citing lack of evidence.
