Koch Adds Life Slag
From Album4 And imagine these piles across the United States if the Keystone Pipeline project is approved Canada's oil sand mines will eventually produce up to 2 trillion barrels of oil and what that could mean for the environment has... Continue reading

Villagers Of The Damned, The Sequel
From Album4 In January the puke funnel was strictly partisan, but now the courtier (or if you prefer, courtesan) press is joining in. Sigh. I noted in a comment to Adrastos' post on a similar article that the only thing... Continue reading

The Taco Bell Curve
From Album4 It's not very surprising to see The Heritage Foundation furiously waddling backwards as fast as they can after this (and this), but to me it's a classic political gaffe--they told us what they really think. Continue reading

Tailgunner Ted
From Album4 Hmm, it sounds like Teahadist flavor-of-the-month Ted Cruz is one physical act of love away from endorsing Wing Attack Plan R because, you know, fluoridated water and children's ice cream. And I'd really like to know who shouted... Continue reading

Something in Bronze for the Bush Library
From Album4 Charles Pierce nails it -- The Great Mulligan -- and while at first I was going to bronze The Pet Goat event (when Dubya was actually holding a book), Katrina Guitar Hero seemed a little more fitting. If... Continue reading

Just Plain (Gun) Nuts
From Album4 So, thanks to a minority of Senators who'd just as soon piss themselves in public than get on the wrong side of the NRA, an exceedingly modest background check requirement before purchasing a lethal weapon failed. This isn't... Continue reading

Rand Is Hip to What's Happenin' With Those Kidzz
From Album4 But the student body and faculty of Howard University politely disagreed. Come to think of it, the only real social spending supported by Republicans that's had a significant impact on African-Americans over the last generation or so has... Continue reading

Adding Insult to Injury
From Album4 Oh sure, Exxon claims they'll "cover all costs" resulting from their turning Mayflower, Arkansas into Muck City...but c'mon. At a certain point, they're going to take advantage of one of the most insane loopholes imaginable and probably cite... Continue reading

The Passion of St. Sebastian Fat Tony
From Album4 Times sure do change. When not installing Bush in the White House (and telling us to "get over it") Scalia would spew insults and hatred without much concern or thought...and it turns out that's the problem right there.... Continue reading

Portrait of the Artist as a Dumbass
From Album4 So, just in time to mark the passage of ten years since the the triumph of the neo-con nitwits in Iraq, we have six new musings on canvas by El Shrubo. OK, I lied -- there are only... Continue reading

Dictionary Definition
From Album4 I would not be surprised if wingers either completely ignore Scott Prouty, or viciously attack him with pretty much any argument they can push through the puke funnel. On the one hand, Romney's political career is over and... Continue reading

Ever Get The Feeling You've Been Cheated?
From Album4 So it's officially a colossal fraud and financial boondoggle in addition to a horrible and needless tragedy. But I guess we already knew that -- with the exception of Walnuts having a kids-on-his-lawn moment re: The Surge® at... Continue reading

Shorter Antonin Scalia
From Album4 "It's all those good white authorities in Shelby County and elsewhere who are the REAL victims." Actually, and I've said this in comments here at First Draft and elsewhere, watching Tony waddle off into his dotage in a... Continue reading

So, How's That Tea Party "Alliance" Working Now?
From Album4 So, Johnny Cry-Boehner has a sad about the sequester, telling anyone who'll listen what a sorry idea it is. But aren't the Redumbs all about starving the beast, drowning it in the tub, shrinking it to irrelevance, etc.,... Continue reading

Working Class Hero
From Album4 I guess trying to part with your working-class neighborhood house for the working class price of $675,000 can really build up a working class guy's thirst. They sure do have strange ideas as to what "working class" is... Continue reading

Sunshine State Prepares for Deluge
From Album4 It's almost enough to make me feel sorry for Floridians, or at least the ones who didn't vote for Governor Bat-Boy. One hundred million dollars will purchase quite the frontal assault on the senses... Continue reading

Mom, Apple Pie...and AK-47s
From Album4 Whenever even the most modest of restrictions or regulations of guns is discussed you see counter arguments of this kind...yet, and sorry to be a bit ugly here, Nancy Lanza owned an assault rifle, but it did not... Continue reading

Villagers of the Damned
From Album4 I think on some level this speaks volumes about the state of yer modern Redumblican party -- after whining pitifully about the alleged "partisan" inaugural, they launch into the most craven of political stunts, going above and beyond... Continue reading

Watching The Crazy Go Up To Eleven
From Album4 Living in gun nut country -- but not owning a gun myself -- I'm occasionally surprised at how, well, common gun ownership is around here. That's partly because, even though it's definitely gun nut territory, people generally usually... Continue reading

"A Pre-Enlightenment Attitude Toward Monetary And Fiscal Policy"
From Album4 Krugman: ...what we’re looking at here is a collision of worldviews, one might even say of epistemology. For many people on the right, value is something handed down from on high It should be measured in terms of... Continue reading

The House Republican Caucus Meets
From Album4 Despite Cantor's recent efforts to castrate Boehner -- yeah, cheap pun intended -- the Speaker's expected to keep his position. And, given Boehner's recent behavior, I'm starting to wonder if the refusal by Redumblicans to even mention the... Continue reading

He Once Cried a River of Tears...Actually, He Did That a Bunch of Times

Chinless Mitch Wins By A Nose
