Like Lucy Van Pelt, the Republicans pulled the football away at the last second. Their stated reason: Nancy Pelosi is just too mean.
I really hope that one day soon, the Republican party is ground into dust. These same people who cried to the high heavens about the immediacy of the crisis are the ones who [...]
I’m no economics expert, but it seems very curious to me why everyone is falling over themselves to believe Mr. Paulson, Bush’s appointed expert, and former Goldman Sachs executive. It’s not as if he could have any sort of biased opinion, right? All the Bush appointees so far have had a stellar record of competence [...]
Well, at my house there were high fives when Obama said that he’d be fiscally responsible by getting out of Iraq, but what about in Joe America’s house?
40% of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack Obama was the winner. 22% thought John McCain won. 38% saw it as a draw.
68% of [...]
The traditional pundits are ready to ridicule Sarah Palin, but not because she’s a theocrat who is afraid of witches, not because she believes in sending rape victims a bill for their own police investigations, but because she would dare to disagree with one of their all-time favorite demi-gods, Henry Kissinger.
Now, while I’m glad that [...]
Katie Couric is probably the worst news anchor in the history of news anchors, but the fact that she’s a woman means that the Palin people can’t use their usual strategy of crying sexism when Couric tears Palin apart, and Couric’s interview of Palin was just that — a very polite rending of her entrails, [...]
Aside from being the best part of TLC, people are noticing John McCain’s left eye.
Is there nothing there? Are people just looking for something to talk about? I dunno. Did the man have a stroke? We still haven’t seen his medical records so there’s no way for us to know. But it sure would explain [...]
Just so we know how much we’re talking about here, the total Federal budget for 2009 is $2,650 billion.
$700 billion is roughly a quarter of total government spending. And now they’re saying, “oops, we need $500 billion more,” which brings it up to roughly half of the entire U.S. government budget for 2009.
At this point, [...]
You may or may not be aware, but the guy who runs the now super-popular political website fivethirtyeight.com, Nate Silver, has been a big deal in baseball stat-head circles for a long while. He has a system of making baseball projections called PECOTA, which is short for something very impressive sounding that I forget right [...]
Casey’s voicemailbox is full. I wonder if people have been leaving him messages about something important — long angry messages…
Nope.
