You Should Have to Stand Up
Damn right: WASHINGTON — Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) is joining the fight to reform the filibuster, arguing that change is needed to move beyond “political obstructionism.” “I was elected to put progress ahead of politics and to make sure that Washington works for Wisconsin,” said Baldwin in a statement to The Huffington Post. “Unfortunately, Washington has come to be defined by partisan gridlock. Recently, the threat of filibuster has been used far too often and as a result political obstructionism in the United States Senate is now worse than it has ever been. The people of Wisconsin and our state’s … Continue reading You Should Have to Stand Up
The Sore Losers Ball
Glenn Beck seems bound and determined to get the public’s attention again. This time he threw ananti-Obama inauguration party in the capital of Wingnutistan, Dallas: The event swiftly trended on Twitter – #misfitsball – with supporters expressing gratitude for a chance to tune out Obama’s triumph. “This ball gives me hope that their are still sane people left in the world,” tweeted @ShogunOfTruth. The menu comprised offerings from Chick-fil-A, a fast-food chain which embroiled in a same-sex marriage row last year, Twinkies, which disappeared from shelves after a union dispute, and peanut butter and jello sandwiches. Beck, a Tea Party … Continue reading The Sore Losers Ball
Republican Opposition is Democrats’ Fault
Because of course it is: LIASSON: In the end, the biggest obstacle to Mr. Obama’s gun violence bills might be Republican opposition, but right now the biggest hurdle is a lack of enthusiasm on the part of his own Democrats. Asked for his reaction to the president’s proposals, Republican House Speaker John Boehner said he would wait to see what the Senate – and its Democratic leader, Harry Reid, does first. JOHN FEEHERY: The number one impediment to actual action on gun control has been Harry Reid. LIASSON: John Feehery is a former House Republican leadership aide. YOU DON’T FUCKIN’ … Continue reading Republican Opposition is Democrats’ Fault

Norquist: ‘Tea Party 2’ Backlash if Obama Sends Nation Over Fiscal Cliff
Sunday, December 2, 2012 04:09 PM
Grover
Norquist, the founder of Americans for Tax Reform, predicted a tea
party backlash that would dwarf the movement’s success in the 2010
midterm elections if President Barack Obama pushes the nation over the
“fiscal cliff.“Tea Party two is going to dwarf tea party one if Obama pushes us off the cliff,” warned Norquist on NBC’s “Meet The Press.”
When asked “Are you over?” by host David Gregory, Norquist responded, “That was last week’s news.”
Woo hoo!
Grover is gonna show ’em!
This should show all the Freeperati who were calling him a RINO since they got their asses handed to them in September! What say ye, Freepers??
To: KeyLargoI have not heard from the so called tea-party since the 2010 election.
did they sit on their laurels for those 2 years?
we won! now we are finished.
then came zer0 in 2012 and they were silent.
To: KeyLargoInsha’Allah, eh, Grover? For you folks in Rio Linda, that means
“God willing” in Arabic. But don’t worry, Grover knows what it means.
You know – I’m just not feeling the love here.
To: VaqueroThe T-Party energy turned out the vote that gave the GOP a second
life. The GOP managed to squander this effort and will likely be
discarded. What is next?Comment #19 Removed by Moderator
You know, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
To: KeyLargoUnfortunately, a significant number of Tea Party patriots are
seniors who receive SS and Medicare. For those folks, taxes may be a
secondary concern in all this.
.
To: KeyLargoWe begin forming a real national conservative party, now:
United States Independent Party -Taxed Enough Already ( USIP-Tea)
The GOP died when they dissed and outed Sarah Palin for being a
genuine , honest American. EFF the GOP, we do not need the pricks.10

Weekend Question Thread: Grammar Peeve
What’s yours? For me it’s over and under, for which I blame Doc. He pointed out to me that over and under are physical distinctions, locations, so you can’t have “over 50 people” unless you’re standing on a train car or operating a hot air balloon. It’s more than and less than. Similarly, you’re not over 50. You’re older than 50. This makes me fucking crazy now, because it’s EVERYWHERE. A. Continue reading Weekend Question Thread: Grammar Peeve

Second Term
I sort of feel like Joey the Shark and Barack Me Amadeus should switch places for Term Two, like Obama should get to be like on two weeks’ notice, where you get to leave early and wear a Grateful Dead t-shirt to work and crack open a beer at your desk because what are they going to do, fire you? I don’t mean actually blow off work, I just mean have a fucking cigarette and stub it out on Boehner’s car if you want, man. A. Continue reading Second Term
‘Women no longer need to be beautiful to express their talent’
Bitches, please: Reading through an otherwise insipid Esquire profile of Megan Fox (bitch believes in leprechauns!) about how she’s aiming to “escape from her fate as a sex symbol” (which she goes about doing by posing in her bra and panties for the magazine?), one is suddenly slapped with this gratuitous little nugget from the piece’s author Stephen Marche: “[W]omen no longer need to be beautiful in order to express their talent. Lena Dunham and Adele and Lady Gaga and Amy Adams are all perfectly plain, and they are all at the top of their field.” First of all, yes, … Continue reading ‘Women no longer need to be beautiful to express their talent’

Three “rude and impertinent” questions about the Manti Te’o saga
Once Deadspin cracked open the case of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o’s fake dead girlfriend, the Internet and MSM were aflutter with discussions as they scrambled to keep up. Perhaps the biggest bit of dickheadery came from the Boston Globe where Jim McBride, commenting on getting his ass kicked on the story, scoffed at Deadspin as not being a paragon of journalistic virtue. My own take on Deadspace has been one of high-risk, high-reward. In explaining this site to a group of young J-students from Wisconsin, I said Deadspace was akin to former Milwaukee Brewer Russell Branyan. He’d go 1-for-13and … Continue reading Three “rude and impertinent” questions about the Manti Te’o saga

We had a solution to a problem. It’s a somewhat silly-sounding solution, but it was a solution. It made the problem go away. It made the problem disappear. It accomplished what needs to be done which is to ix-nay on the oblem-pray. The people who would propose and then carry out said silly-sounding solution would face exactly zero consequences, since this would be all on Barack Me Amadeus, and last I checked he wasn’t up for an election in any way in the near future*. We all learned from Bush II that, despite everybody hating you, you still get to … Continue reading Let Me See if I’ve Got This, Guys
