The last politician to quote Pat Buchanan was Richard Nixon. Now we’ve got Sarah Palin.

George W. Bush FAILED MISERABLY on his two attempts at transformative change in this country.  He took his “man-date” after the ‘04 election and squandered what little good will he had on a pathetic attempt to privatize Social Security, planning to put Wall Street in charge of the nation’s social safety net — before we [...]

UPDATE: DRAFT ED PETITION

Where would the Anti-Beck, Ed Schultz be more effective?  Should he run for the Senate as requested by retiring Senator Byron Dorgan and the party elders, that august body that deliberates the sweeping changes this nation so desparately needs at a glacial pace?  Or should he remain in broadcasting, fighting the culture [...]

I kid you not.  The 2nd Family Baptist Church here in the Glass City is using the Theme from Cheers in a local TV spot to help build the congregation: ♫ “You wanna go where everybody knows your name.” ♪♪

I’ve mentioned before that the ratio of Churches to Bars [...]

Caught on Hannity while zooming through traffic before I could switch stations in disgust: a woman, self-professed god-fearing ordinary mom tells Sean how frightened she is if Health Insurance Reform goes through, citing random (obviously planted) statistics on how many jobs will be destroyed by Obama-care.
She’s earnest, folksy, even compelling in her worry about pushing [...]

Maybe losing a decade won’t be all that bad.

A decade in which the national GDP never declined below the value it held on the day the government stepped in.  A decade in which the maximum unemployment rate was 5.5%. A decade in which the government actually expanded its support of both business and individuals, a [...]

How on earth is David Broder ever to be taken seriously when his dementia is put on full display with these kinds of pronouncements.
It is evident from the length of this deliberative process and from the flood of leaks that have emerged from Kabul and Washington that the perfect course of action does not exist. [...]

ViA TV TropesThe 1985 resolution in the Ohio General Assembly that made “Hang On Sloopy” the state rock song (there’s a reason why you hear it at every Ohio State football game) had lines such as:
