Government for and by the Corporations

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know that I am a strong Obama supporter. But that doesn’t mean I give him a pass when he makes a mistake, even one as stupid as this one. Obama announced Monday that he is appointing Donald Verrilli to be solicitor general, the government’s top lawyer […]

State of the Hate

Starve the Beast?

© Tony Auth Ah the fickleness of the American public. Just two months after voters swept tea party candidates into Congress, Americans now disapprove of “the political movement known as the Tea Party” by a 52% to 35% margin. That’s their worst ever unfavorable ratings, up from 45% disapproval ratings last September, before the elections, […]

The Current War

© Ed Stein [I love the commentaries that Ed Stein provides to go with his excellent comics:] I wonder if the sour, off-key comments by House Speaker-to-be John Boehner and still Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after the election might have given the voters who placed renewed confidence in the Republican Party buyer’s remorse. Boehner […]

Does Obama have a messaging problem, or does the right-wing media have a lying problem?

I’m getting tired of the media noting things like that the majority of Americans think Obama raised their taxes (instead of what he really did, which was cut them) and then concluding that it is Obama’s fault because he hasn’t been very good at messaging. Isn’t it the media’s job to report news like this? […]
