  • Are You Ready for the Health Care Debate?

    —Booman Tribune

    I generally agree with Jay Cost's analysis on where the health care bill stands right now. His analysis also supports what I've been saying about the general strategy of maintaining momentum by postponing the toughest votes as long as possible. It looks very likely that Harry Reid will get unanimity' [...]

  • Fickle!

    —2 Political Junkies

    Nothing uglier than a gaggle of pissed-off groupies.

    Seriously, Sarah Palin does seem to attract folks who are angry -- angry at the government, angry at their perceived lot in life -- angry at, well, everything.

    It doesn't take much for their anger to turn towards Palin herself' [...]

  • Wingnut of the Day

    —Booman Tribune

    You might be a wingnut if you vote against a bill to prevent the transmission of the HIV virus from mother to baby because HIV-positive babies are a good way to teach mothers about the dangers of promiscuity. Making the following Tweet just confirms your wingnut status: "Don't for a'" [...]

  • The Bike Laws

    —Young Philly Politics

    As we all know by now, Councilmen Kenney and DiCicco have decided that the city needs new laws to regulate bicycles. These proposed regulations include:

    1) That not only must you register your bikes- for a 20 dollar fee- but you must have a license plate on that bike;
    2) Riding [...]

  • Something to Remember

    —Booman Tribune

    The Republican governors got together in some god-forsaken place called Lost Pines, Texas, to discuss their collective futures and the prospects for winning more state houses in the November 2010 elections. Adam Nagourney was there, and he wrote about it. AdNags was most impressed by the lack of emphasis on [...]

  • Selling Reform

    —Booman Tribune

    If I can leap ahead a bit here, in anticipation of Harry Reid actually passing health care reform (something that is far from assured), the Democrats are going to have to defend their votes for this bill, while the Republicans will have to defend their votes against it. Because a [...]

  • Shorter Richard Burr, NC Senator (R)

    —Booman Tribune

    They should have shot Khalid Sheik Mohammed execution style in the back of his head and dumped his body in a canal and spared us all the national security risks posed by Article III and the 5th and 6th Amendments to the Constitution. [...]

  • Ott on Running for Office

    —Pawatercooler.com

    Scott Ott (Scrappleface, Wash Examiner, PJTV) was recently interviewed by Michael Koolidge about Ott’s narrowly lost campaign for Lehigh County Executive. Go listen. There’s a lot to absorb in this 26 minute interview, but what I found most interesting and enlightening was “Don’t believe the conventional wisdom.” [...]

  • Uh Oh

    —Suburban Guerrilla

    Number of comments: 2

    I doubt this can be contained for long:

    Scientists in Norway have identified a mutated form of the swine flu virus that is raising concern because it was found in two patients who died of the flu and a third who was severely ill with the disease, officials announced Friday.

    In [...]

  • Pray for Obama ... To Die?

    —Lehigh Valley Somebody

    Number of comments: 32
    Oh, isn't this just adorable: a teddy bear that encourages children to pray for our President. To die. Right-Wing Christian Conservatives are urging people to "Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8" with bumper stickers, t-shirts, mugs, and even teddy bears. Such amazing grace Christian sentiment, and' [...]

  • Talking Sense on Sarah

    —Pawatercooler.com

    Excellent piece by Jonah Goldberg over at the National Review on the subject of Palinophobia. He makes a lot of sense. I particularly liked this line: [S]ome of us will always be sympathetic to Mrs. Palin if for nothing else than her enemies. The bile she extracts from her critics is [...]

  • This Day In History

    —Pawatercooler.com

    Today is “Universal Children’s Day”, officially so designated in 1954 by the U. N. This is not to be confused with “International Children’s Day” sponsored by UNICEF which comes in December, nor the other “International Children’s Day” which comes in June, nor with “National Child’s Day” which President Bush established [...]

  • REVISIONIST HISTORY

    —CasablancaPA



    Last Saturday, Associated Press reporter Mark Levy put together an interesting post-Republican bonus indictment news item. Levy obtained quotes ranging from the top of the GOP caucus heap like Republican House Leader Sam Smith to the bottom of the barrel like State Representative [...]

  • Tom Coburn Told To Shove It

    —Booman Tribune

    Senator Tom Coburn made a big fuss (stink) the other day when he threatened to read the entire health care reform bill on the floor of the Senate, a process that likely would have taken 34 hours of valuable debate time on health care reform for little if any purpose [...]

  • Message to PAGOP, Go Right!!

    —page13news

    Here's a great article by Lisa Mossie (Blufftooi/PAWaterCooler) on why conservatism and GOP success isn't just a national need; the formula works locally too.

    Lisa points out, when the state and local GOP stray from conservative candidates because of a fear of "extremist" labels being assigned to them,' [...]
