I made up my mind a long time ago that I didn’t like Mitt Romney. Still, you’d think the founder of Bain Capital would be above economic populism:
In his speech at the Detroit Economic Club, Mr. Romney took Washington lawmakers to task for being a “disinterested” in Michigan’s plight and imposing upon the state’s [...]

It’s not so much the idea that John Edwards knocked up someone but rather that a campaign aide would actually try to cover up for Edwards in such a ridiculous way. That basically makes me not want to trust not only Edwards but anyone surrounding John Edwards, no matter how “selfless” they come off in [...]

That story on the kid from Iceland apparently getting through to the President’s secret phone line includes this tidbit:
A White House official, who asked not to be identified, denied the young man had accessed a private number but instead dialled 202-456-1414, the main switchboard for the West Wing.
Vífill’s mother, Harpa Hreinsdottir, a teacher at the [...]

Perhaps you wondered why that fantastic unsolicited op-ed you wrote received no response from the Times opinon editors? Well, to start, is your father a New York Times bestselling author and a former Times writer & Times guest op-ed columnist? If so, then perhaps that perceptive piece about your semester abroad would fit nicely there, [...]

Eric Schlosser (he of Fast Food Nation and Reefer Madness fame) has a great op-ed in the NYT today about the horrid conditions facing the migrant workers who provide you with those oh-so-awesome (meaning, really bland and flavorless) beafsteak tomatoes during the winter.
Migrant farm laborers have long been among America’s most impoverished workers. Perhaps 80 [...]

Gov. Gregoire has called the legislature into special session to restore the 1% cap on property tax increases, caving into Republicans and Tim Eyman right before an election year.
Goldy’s pretty hot and bothered over it, but why? I mean, doesn’t he realize that Dino Rossi will be so awesomely outmaneuvered by Gregoire’s clever ploy [...]

Or, what happens when people who think snarky=intelligent spend too much time in a room alone together, drunk. The Strangler urges a no vote for Rail:
Sound Transit/RTID Proposition No. 1
VOTE NO
The joint roads and transit ballot measure shackles expansion of Sound Transit’s popular light-rail system to a massive roads- expansion package that could never [...]

I happened to catch a bit of Glenn Beck’s “Public Viewer” on Pravda while at the gym last night.
This guy may possibly be the biggest douche in national media today. Seriously — comparisons with Father Charles Coughlin come to mind. He’s a barely literate blowhard that likes to stroke his own ego to [...]

Talk about ambition! Here we are, the military’s plans to beat Iran fresh off the planning table, and the Secretary of the US Airforce is already planning for the war with China.
[Secretary of the Air Force] Wynne directly linked the need for the F-35 to the potential threat posed by China. He rejected a [...]

Look, I detest Iran’s repressive policies as much as the next American.  And I clearly think that Columbia is well within its rights — nay, performing a critical service for our democracy — by inviting L’il Kid Nuclear to speak.
But still, it’s utterly deplorable to invite a guest to your home and then use it [...]
