The Full Court Press of the Wingnut Chorus

Published on 2012-05-25 15:24:00

America's wingnut chorus is worked up in a particularly frothy form of lather. They are barking mad, clawing at their eyes, howling into the woods kind of mad right now. They are braying for blood and eating the tender bits of their own eyebrows, trying to find some sort of relief from the thing that ails them.America has a black president, you see. This eats the horrid parts of their souls. This feasts on their psyche. This aggression will not stand. The socialist Kenyan Marxist pretender to th [..] > read more

George Tierney Junior is Never Going to Go Away

Published on 2012-05-24 14:54:00

Over the past few days, America's newest conservative social media darling has repeatedly suspended or deleted his Twitter account. As of 9:51 PM Central European Time, he's back up but now "protecting" his Tweets so that he can use the N-word and call women the C-word at his leisure.Congress, the only think you're missing is George Tierney, Junior. I think you have a Congressional District somewhere in the deep south that he can represent. Won't you give this man a call? America wants to see le [..] > read more

This is About Voter Suppression

Published on 2012-05-23 17:50:00

There is a storm brewing in the world of conservative bloggers, but it has an origin in something completely unrelated to their own deranged sense of being persecuted.First and foremost, no reasonable person would condone a threat against a person or their family. That sort of thing should be condemned. If there is an actual threat against blogger Robert Stacy McCain, then I would hope that whoever made that threat is held accountable for it because there is no place for that sort of thing in an [..] > read more

George Tierney is America's Greatest Living Douchebag

Published on 2012-05-21 14:21:00

This is George Tierney, and he lives in Greenville, South Carolina.Apparently, he does not believe in using a polite and insistent tone on Twitter. He prefers to curse at women and act like a buffoon in public. According to one of the greatest bloggers ever, a one Mr. Tbogg, he is upset that people are taking screenshots of his vile, intemperate Tweets and he believes that there is a legal remedy for said actions.There is no legal remedy. When he hits the button and sends his Tweet into the worl [..] > read more

Austerity Never Created a Single Job

Published on 2012-05-20 16:38:00

The 2012 election should be about jobs, but it'll probably be about birth certificates, dogs on car roofs, and bullshit.You can read what President Obama has said here and wonder if there is any political will to make this happen (not with this Congress) and you can wonder if they are finally starting to listen to Paul Krugman at the White House (I hope so). The death of austerity cannot come sooner. It is really all about balancing budgets on the backs of the working poor and it has never creat [..] > read more

Racist As Hell

Poor Kathleen Parker.If you read between the lines here, you can see how confused the poor lady is these days:The proposal, which highlights the Obama-Wright relationship and resembles an ad rejected the last go-round by the McCain campaign, has made tsunami waves, thanks to a story on the New York Times’ front page. Who leaked the 54-page proposal may be the most interesting aspect of this story, but we may die without knowing. Or we can watch closely the career paths of various actors in the [..] > read more

The Breitbart Kidz Fail Again

Romney Refuses to Win

Published on 2012-05-17 15:52:00

Mitt Romney isn't willing to fight for the Presidency.I can just hear the groans out there right now. The hate chorus on the right is settling back into their chairs, disgusted and disheartened. Breitbart World Headquarters just went silent. You can hear the "stab in the back" rhetoric beginning to emerge.If only the American people could see an ad, delivered by a black man, outlining the details of President Obama's relationship with Jeremiah Wright, well, they'd fall in line behind Mitt Romney [..] > read more

The Pirate Party is a Fringe Party

Published on 2012-05-16 16:03:00

This is actually a fairly misleading article. The Germans are voting in Pirate Party candidates in the state parliaments in very small numbers; there is simply no way they are going to become powerful enough to "take over" the state parliament in any of the larger German states. They join other fringe parties in having a seat at the table, but it is chiefly a country run by people who enjoy much larger margins of victory in the elections that are being held, leading to the Federal elections.The [..] > read more

Poor Deluded Mickey Kaus

This is what the sad end of your credibility looks like.Mickey Kaus is advancing the notion that President Obama is "just like" John Edwards because, hey, that'll show 'em.The problem here is that Kaus is blogging on The Daily Caller, and he's linking to the Daily Caller's own story about Edward Klein's book on President Obama, titled, The Amateur. Klein, of course, is the oft-debunked and humiliated writer of the fact-challenged and error-ridden books The Truth About Hillary and numerous Jackie [..] > read more

Americans Elect Fizzles Out

Twenty million dollars for nothing? Yes, that's the story of Americans Elect.Twenty million dollars thrown towards siphoning off support for President Obama (who is a centrist; Mitt Romney's primary campaign is the most right-wing campaign since the Spanish Inquisition) and all they have to show for it is a nine million dollar website, egg on the face of Tom Friedman, and an indifferent American population.Thanks for the laughs.

Finishing Off the Heartland Institute

Stupid is as Stupid Does

Wisconsin is where the fault line in American politics and culture is really beginning to appear. You can see it in the desire to see Governor Scott Walker recalled, and you can see it in the laughable insanity of Assembly Leader Jeff Fitzgerald thinking he can appropriate the music of an artist that is soundly opposed to everything he stands for.He may like the Dropkick Murphys, but he will never get their support or respect. He even admits in this article, "we Republicans don't have a lot of s [..] > read more

Bristol Palin Weighs In on Gay Marriage

Published on 2012-05-10 16:03:00

I have been pretty cranky today, and so I decided not to take it out on Bristol Palin. I'm sure she's a lovely young lady, but what are you going to do with this nonsense?“While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads.

Jonah Goldberg Doesn't Have Much of a Resume to Pad

Except for the fact that he's dishonest, a complete hack, willfully ignorant of world history, intellectually lazy, incompetent, stupid, a complete and utter nuisance to academic discussion, a media personality only because of who his mother is, a small-minded jackass, a fraud, a charlatan, and a person who has padded his resume before, yeah.

Extremism Rules the Republican Party

The implications here are fairly obvious.

This is How They Do Things in Mexico

Published on 2012-05-08 03:58:00

This is not an entertainment show in Mexico. It is the presidential debate. And it is, I guess, perfectly natural for a woman dressed like this to appear on Mexican television programs.The toughest job in Mexico isn't the presidency. The toughest job in Mexico has to be working to change the image of women in the media and to advocate on behalf of the idea that a woman in Mexico does not have to let her fake boobs hang out all over the place in order to appear on a news and information program. > read more

Miss Suarez is cashing in on her newfound notoriety. I would not believe anything this young woman says and I would hasten to add that she has someone behind the scenes who is promoting her interests and trying to make hay of the situation. If she is truly coming forward and saying these things out of the kindness of her heart, well, I would be more than happy to change my mind.Anything beyond the initial confrontation in the hotel where she was denied the amount of money that she felt entitled [..] > read more

Defunding the Heartland Institute

Published on 2012-05-07 05:42:00

This is a pleasant way to begin the week.I really like the first sentence of this story, which identifies the Heartland Institute as a "rightwing US thinktank" and I am hoping to see more of these stories.Ten grand may not sound like a lot, but that effect tends to snowball when you're trying to gather up every penny to survive. Three or four donors with deep pockets can bail on an organization and suddenly there is a huge fundraising gap. I like the sound of that.There are ramifications for cra [..] > read more

The New Russia Resembles the Old Russia

Published on 2012-05-06 05:34:00

This piece by NPR blows past one of the realities of modern Russia. It is true--people can and do criticize the government but they are banned from appearing on television in the act of doing so. In effect, you can sit in your kitchen and say what you want; if you try to broadcast that message, you are banned.What NPR fails to note is that, instead of the gulag, the government merely hires men to shoot the people who are problematic for the regime. Murdering critics is easier than creating a vas [..] > read more

Another FAIL From the Breitbart Kidz

Published on 2012-05-04 09:43:00

When you separate the art from the politics, there isn't much to admire about Gertrude Stein. She was a gadfly in her times, and chose Vichy over everyone. At the time, it must have made sense to her, intellectually or otherwise.The problem with the Breitbart Kidz is that they don't do history and they don't do nuance. They smear and they run with the gotcha lies every time. You can almost hear them screaming "whoop whoop" as they hurtle past common sense.Stein was, in fact a Republican. As in, [..] > read more

Tom Friedman is Wrong Once Again

[you may have to click on this to enlarge it]I read the above with a significant amount of trepidation. If true, it indicates two things that I think are important.One, the Republicans who were politicizing our national defense and citing 9/11 in virtually every speech and were putting themselves in front of U.S. troops so that they could form a backdrop of convenience when appealing to the American people for support, were indecisive and overly cautious when it came to actually fighting terrori [..] > read more

Dana Milbank is Useless

Rupert Murdoch is Not Fit to Run Anything

Published on 2012-05-01 08:26:00

The British government has come out, along party lines or ideological affiliations, and it has given a fairly damning opinion on the empire of Rupert Murdoch, et al. This opinion is sternly worded, but it needs to be backed with something definitive, such as, "you are no longer allowed to operate a media company in Britain" or "you are facing criminal charges for your negligence."Given how much money News Corporation has lost, it isn't outside the realm of possibility that investors will get tir [..] > read more

Keep Your Complaints Off Twitter, Mr. Ambassador

Published on 2012-03-30 03:56:00

America's ambassador in Russia, Michael McFaul, can't help himself.Using Twitter to lodge complaints about the host nation is not a good sign of diplomatic judgment. This leads me to believe that McFaul (who will be renamed McFail before too long) will end up either deleting his Twitter account or back in the United States, fresh out of a job and wondering why he donated all of that money to the Democratic Party in the first place.The State Department employee in charge over in Moscow should eit [..] > read more

The Last Stand of Newt Gingrich

Published on 2012-03-29 17:03:00

The end arrived about a month ago, but Newt Gingrich wasn't having any of it.The end of his political career was the day when he ended up humiliated, beaten, and left by the side of the road in one of the states that he thought he was going to win. I have no idea which one that was--there were so many of them, you see.Gingrich will not bow out because he actually hates the men running against him. He is fueled by hate, and hate alone, for a world that doesn't see how much smarter and handsomer h [..] > read more

There Is No Broccoli Mandate

Thanks to our addiction to foreign oil and government subsidies, we really do have a corn mandate in this country.

Who Would Believe John Edwards?

Published on 2012-03-22 16:56:00

There was a time when I might have defended John Edwards. Back when they were gunning for him, I simply could not believe that he was this stupid. I was as wrong as could be on that front. John Edwards has the kind of self-destructive hubris only the worst of our society can muster. What a shame.Were it not for his past transgressions, this would be easy enough to defend him against. This would be the same nonsense that gets used against anyone who challenges the status quo and runs as a populis [..] > read more

The Greatest Fail Ever

Via Balloon Juice, we have the reason why Jason Mattera is one of the greatest failures of our era, possibly ever. He's no journalist and he's no ethical citizen.In this video, he trots out his old schtick again--misrepresenting himself as a fan so he can ambush a celebrity and catch their response on camera so that he can pass himself off as a champion of the truth.But, there's something about this attempt that doesn't quite come off as being the ambush that he set out to obtain. In fact, it en [..] > read more

David Corn's Dead Tree World is Collapsing All Around Him

David Corn went into a Barnes and Noble store and complained--in what he says was a merely agitated way--about the fact that his new book wasn't on display.One can imagine him scouring high-end bookstores for as far as the eye can see, confused as to why the distances between such stores keeps increasing month by month and year by year. A person can put out a book today and go out and visit all of the bookstores that are selling it. Two years from now, when the follow-up comes out, how many of t [..] > read more

There are so many utterly common sense reasons why this should be so.

No Rational Reason For Gingrich to Stay in the Race

Rich Lowry hits at something that a lot of people already know. Newt Gingrich has essentially lost the race to win the Republican nomination for the Presidency.However, this does not matter.Gingrich is not in the race anymore to win. He's trying to play the role of spoiler. He wants to garner as many votes and delegates as possible so he can injure the ticket and maintain his standing as a possible candidate for another office. It's not outside the realm of possibility for him to run in 2016, an [..] > read more

Jason Mattera Fails Again

Jason Mattera doesn't really need any more exposure than he has already received. And now, in the wake of the Breitbart empire's implosion, I'm sure that he smells blood in the water and wants to start marketing himself as the new "go-to guy" for conservatives who play "gotcha" with liberals.What undercuts Mattera here is that he uses a lie to get Chris Rock to pay attention to him when he seeks him out at the Sundance Film Festival.

Ignorance is Driving the Extinction of the Rhino

This is a perfect example of hackery and hack journalism and hack opinionating. It's so pitch-perfectly feckless and useless that the mere act of linking to the Politico makes me want to pound the desk and yell.You see, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. used Twitter to call out Senator James Inhofe for being a "prostitute" for big oil. This is rude, of course, but it has the added advantage of being true. In exchange for what is actual money, Senator Inhofe votes, on a consistent basis, to protect the inter [..] > read more

This is an excellent post that does a great deal of the leg work on this issue. I have touched on Veterans issues numerous times, but the most recent post that I did on this subject was in January after a horrific act of violence committed by a Veteran.The myths that have sprung up over the years about Veterans being more prone to violence and more likely to go berserk and kill people are fed by a media narrative that wants to run with those stories.

Andrew Breitbart, Massive Pile of Shit, Now Dead

Since no one else has the courage to say this, American political discourse improved dramatically today when Andrew Breitbart, who was a bigoted, racist pile of stinking shit, died of whatever killed him.Sadly, he did not die sooner. Sadly, he did not grow up and abandon his deceitful, hateful ways and find any kind of redemption. The dogs should drag his carcass to the river and the pigs should eat his bones.

The country of Greece has quickly begun to unravel.

And, even though most Americans don't care, it is probably true that most Europeans don't care, either.
