Credit: Glendale Tribune Seems like that ol’ cocktailhag Governor (!) of Arizona, Jan Brewer has been hitting the bottle again, this time when President Obama was visiting, and managed to make a little scene. That happens to the best of us, admittedly, but judging by her babbling, incoherent performances every time she’s on television, [...]
Those were the words of Ronald Reagan, delivered casually and undoubtedly with a little dementia thrown in, when he was speaking in his inimitable style about the sort of nuclear annihilation his administration, at least initially, seemed determined to court. For whatever reason, Republicans have, over the last thirty years or so (and longer if [...]
Predictably, incoming Speaker of the House (!) John Boehner cried when handed the gavel by Nancy Pelosi, and as promised, he and his party are about to give America plenty to cry about. Of course, several of the lies they told to get the House majority have already been exploded, most significantly the $100 billion [...]

The key difference seems [...]
For about the thousandth time, the Republicans are gleefully announcing the death of the Democratic Party, assuming correctly that the dead are about the only ones they can beat, and even then not always. What is being said about the health care reform could be old tape of what Republicans have said about any non-right [...]
It isn’t every day that Paul Krugman and John Boehner agree, but when they do, everyone should take notice. The Golden Mean in question? The Stimulus Package isn’t enough, by a long shot, to revive the economy, and the hag is throwing in with this odd couple to concur. Of course, our prescriptions are different; [...]
