Ah. Good to see that, as usual, Republicans are more concerned with partisan bickering than with doing their jobs.

Chris Matthews: Can Palin read? →
squashed:
Chris Matthews needs to set aside his crush on Obama and do his job. Or at least pretend to try. Palin may have had some inarticulate moments. She may have some confusion about how various government elements interract with eachother. But she’s not illiterate.
I like Obama. I’ve drunk the Kool-Aid. I’ve served it to others. But even I get nervous when prominent members of the press...

"Whether it Works"

I’m thinking again of that quote from Obama’s speech: ”The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works …”
Yesterday, I expressed some of my frustrations with this quote. Today, I just want to ask: Could Obama possibly mean what he says?
Let’s test him. Could he possibly think that the War on Drugs works? It’s...

Matt Taibbi gives Thomas Friedman’s undercarriage a little “How’s your father” - Egad, Friedman takes a pounding in this one. Posted by our favorite Brissenden, this article is about Friedman’s latest book/cash cow, which will surely be a hit with people who don’t know better. So please folks, know better.

Life after Steve Jobs

I just want to say that I am so glad that Tim Tebow showed that if you lead a good Christian life, give praise to God as often as possible, & go on missions to foreign countries during your free time, great things can happen in sports & in life for that matter.

Pac 10 better than the Big 12?
robot-heart:
The boyfriend’s roommate was making the argument earlier today that the Pac 10 is better than the Big 12 because they’ve won all their bowl games. Let’s keep in mind that the Pac 10’s bowl games have, with the exception of the USC game, been pretty boring games with low-ranked, mediocre teams (the Pac 10 played the #8, #13, #16, #20 team and 1 unranked team). And while yes, a Pac 10...
