Why we love Cafe Press
My kitchen cabinet is full of mugs from Cafe Press. I have my Morning Sedition mug , my Cinemarati mug, and a bunch of others from long-gone gimmicks and web sites and other pop culture effluvia. The thing with Cafe Press is it makes it easy to sell swag. WTF Podcast listeners can even get a ...

Pettiti and Asses
The (task force) recommends against routine screening mammography in women aged 40 to 49 years. - U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, Nov. 17, 2009 When I read stories such as this from guys like Michael Collins I have to wonder aloud how far we've really gotten from the fake panels and ...

Now whatever would give us that idea?
I wonder why anyone would think the Federal government and the medical profession were gunning for only WOMEN'S health care. After all, they're just planning to pass health care "reform" that doesn't allow coverage of abortion, they don't think breast cancer screening is necessary unless you are ...

I have no faith that this country won't elect Sarah Palin...but Palin/Glenn Beck? Are we THAT meshuggeh
With even the most optimistic estimates having the employment picture not even BEGIN to improve until 2011, and Tim Geithner's buddies giving themselves huge bonuses instead of doing things like lending money in the aftermath of their huge taxpayer bailout, and Barack Obama's continued tossing ...

No matter how hard Republicans want to pretend that Barack Obama was president from 2000-2008, that doesn't make it true
And while the right is having vapors about how President Barack Hussein Obama, the secret Muslim terrorist who is both a Nazi and a part of the Great Jewish Conspiracy at the same time "allowed" a "possible terrorist" to remain in the military, the fact of the matter is that the Bush ...

brilliantatbreakfast.blogspot.com — Being disheartened is such a usual state of mind for me these days it's surprising that this one gets to me so much.

Or is it just about saving money?
When you have a health care "reform" bill in the Senate that not only may effectively make abortion a non-reimbursable procedure, but also does not explicitly cover procedures that are unique to women, you have to wonder if women's health care is going to be sacrificed on the altar of cost ...

Dr. Doom Speak, You Listen
I wonder, when the Republicans and their corporate buddies decided that the middle class was a pesky thing that needed to go away, returning us to the Golden Age of lords and serfs, if they thought about how a few preposterously wealthy people were going to be able to buy enough STUFF to keep an ...

Confederacy of dunces
What does it say when a sizable number of people who would vote for a particular Presidential candidate don't think that candidate is qualified for the job? In a world where we face an intractable war in Afghanistan, widespread unemployment that looks every day to be more structural than ...

Wingnuts just LOVE terrorism
I don't know what it is about the extreme right and terrorism. I don't know what the feargasm is that they get when they can be really shit-your-pants terrified of Scary Brown Men with Boxcutters. We're seeing it in New York City, where millions of people are going to work every day, and have ...

Major Hasan-13, Saddam Hussein-0
There are many reasons why, despite having an all too typical spineless centrist Democrat in the White House, we should be more grateful than ever that George W. Bush is still not occupying it. Presidential term limits denied us the excitement of seeing yet another Diebold/ES&S;/Sequioa/Karl ...

Teabagger Epic Fail
Oh, this is priceless. Just stick with it and listen to what this kid says: If these nimrod teabaggers had half a brain, the impish grin would have given "Robert Erickson" away immediately.

It's amazing, the kind of behaviors that are regarded as OK if they're done by teabaggers
If you're a liberal and the President is a Republican, your protest is penned in a mile away from where the president is . If you're a teabagger and the President is a Democrat, you can take a loaded gun to the place where the president is appearing . If you were a lefty activist in the 1960's ...

Oh fer cryin' out loud: Yet Another Republican Hypocrite Edition

How is the economy supposed to recover when no one has a job?
For years we've heard from working people who support the Republican policies that have robbed the U.S. of its job base that "we have to cut taxes for the rich because rich people create jobs." During the Bush years, the wealthy and the corporations saw their taxes cut to the bone, so where are ...

Are game shows and talk shows the last gasp of stand-up comedy?
I can't say I was thrilled with the premiere of the Wanda Sykes show last week. Sykes is the funniest woman in America when she does her own material. But her own material is often too raw even for Fox, even late at night. And discussing spanking with Z-list "celebrities" no one has ever heard ...
