Reconciled by digby I'm hearing a lot of the usual chatter about using reconciliation for the public option in light of comments by various Dems, such as Ben Nelson . But Reid sounded pretty adamant the other day: Reid also said he would not use a procedural maneuver known as reconciliation ...

Lamentations by digby You've all heard about the winguts sporting bumperstickers and buttons that say Psalm 109, which is calling for Obama to be replaced (or killed, depending on how you look at it.) The good Christians sporting these bumper stickers insist it's no biggie and that everyone ...

The Cow Is Over The Fence Again by digby If you missed Bill Moyers' Journal last night, I urge you to find the time to watch it or at least read the transcript : With an eye on President Obama’s deliberations on whether to deploy more U.S. troops in addition to the 68,000 already in ...

Desperation Is A Lagging Indicator by digby Atrios notes that politicians should probably try to seriously address this problem if only because it tends to create a testy electorate: From the BLS: Regional and State Employment and Unemployment Summary Twenty-nine states and the District of ...

Historical Amnesia by digby Eric Alterman offers a timely little history lesson for the villagers who evidently were in some sort of giddy fugue state during the Bush years and think that Obama came into office with peace and prosperity instead of a smoking wreck of an economy. He tees off on ...

Wingnut Pork Is Bad For Your Health by digby So much for evidence based medicine : While the Senate toned down the House's language on abortion restrictions, it may have ratcheted things up with another controversial reproductive-health issue: abstinence-only education. Sec. 2954 of the ...

A Liberal's Ruff Tuff Creampuff Rhetoric by tristero Dave Neiwert discusses the first of a three part series by CNN on the resurgent militia movement, and what he has to say is very interesting. But I noticed something different. Here's what the militia members got to tell America: We're ...

Profiling High by digby Amanda Carpenter ably defended Sarah Palin's stunning comments today that Scott Roeder, Dr George Tiller's assassin, could have been stopped if the authorities had been willing to profile those who belong to radical anti-abortion Christian groups. Carpenter: All the ...

49 Million Americans by tristero I am so glad that Wall Street is on track for such huge bonuses this year. That's because they can use all that money to buy food for the 49 million Americans - 49 million Americans! Jesus! who "lacked consistent access to adequate food" by the end of the Bush ...

Who's Your Grand Daddy by digby Dave Neiwert points out that the Teabaggers have been organizing against immigration for a lot longer than on health care and "Hitler" and are therefore far better prepared for that fight. (In fact, nativism is the very essence of right wing populism.) But they ...

Killer On The Run by digby I am not a hunter and as an animal lover I wish that nobody hunted for sport. However, I accept that it is a revered, human ritual and for many Americans a test of manhood and skill. So, why is it that right wing leaders like to show off their manly kill skills with ...
