More Great News For John McCain!

Today the Supreme Court handed down it's long awaited decision in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, eliminating restrictions on corporate donations to politicians dealing a huge blow to McCain-Feingold (hence the title of this post).

If the negotiations over healthcare have taught us anything, it's that corporations do not have enough of a voice in the political process. This is truly our generation's Brown v. Board of Education.

Nobel Peace Prizes for Everyone...

I don't disagree with the fact that climates change. I just think creating science to back up a belief should be shunned not awarded. And, along with the hacked emails from a few months ago, the blocks keep falling...

Oscar Goodman: Great Politician or the Greatest Politician?

Originally I was going to give this post a cute title about how Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman is one Republican I could support, but then I found out he's an independent...

Still, you should read about Oscar Goodman's controversies while in office.

"Have you seen this? Have you heard about this, Kevin?"

I was never a big Jimmy Kimmel fan, mostly because I hated "The Man Show," but this makes me love him.

All of this cold weather proves Al Gore is fat.

Rick Perry Is Not A Smart Man

It was a sad day when George Walker Bush became President, but one of the lesser noted horrors of that occurrence is that it stuck Texas with Rick Perry.

Perry believes that the solution to our problems is to put the federal government in the same dire position that state governments are in, where they are forced to raise taxes and drop people from their payrolls.

Yes, the solution to our problems is more unemployment. Luckily Perry doesn't seem to realize that governors don't really play a big roll in amending the federal constitution.

Behold What the Underpants Bomber Hath Wrought

As the TSA engages in it's usual pointless, barn door-closing measures after the latest failed terrorist attack, it's useful to maintain some perspective.

The bombing of passenger jets is a bad thing, and effective measures such as maintaining and distributing accurate databases of people we shouldn't let on planes, and possibly the use of full body scanners should be considered. However, despite what Cheneyites would like you to believe, we are not living in the most dangerous times mankind has ever known. In fact, it was a lot more dangerous to travel on a plane in the 70s and 80s than it is now.

This Thing On?

Back from vacation. Glad nothing important happened while I was gone.

Africa has been in the news a lot lately, what with the antics of the Underpants Bomber, and now the MSM is starting to pay attention to American conservative evangelicals' role in crafting Uganda's Kill-the-Gays bill.

Welcome to the teens!

Lady Ga Ga on "Healthcare Reform"

Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin/ I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning/ Just like a chick in the casino/ Take your bank/ before I pay you out/ I promise this, promise this

I'm just saying is all...

Remember, it is indispensably more important we pass healthcare legislation now, even if it's broke. We'll fix everything later. Promise.

This is great news for John McCain!

The Senate cleared the first obstacle early this morning for Health Care Reform, breaking a Republican filibuster with a 60-40 vote.

Passage of reform before the President's State of the Union address is now all but certain.
