Now that Rick Santorum has officially suspended his campaign, the only things in the way of Mitt Romney are Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. In other words, we now know who the Republican candidate for president will be. So I guess it is time to start examining the record of Mittens in earnest. We all […]

Rachel Maddow has an incredible story about how the Michigan legislature is violating the rule of law, and doing everything they can to get rid of democracy in the state, both at the local level and in the legislature itself.

When the Wall Street Journal was bought by Murdock’s News Corp, people were worried that it would be turned into another Faux News. Well, you don’t have to worry any longer, it has been.

Legislator co-sponsoring a bill requiring drug testing for welfare recipients — Normal Republican tactics. Same legislator getting arrested for DUI — Normal Republican hypocrisy.

Stephen Colbert takes on the winners of the Iowa caucuses: And satirist Andy Borowitz gets in some funny cracks: Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was overjoyed today after finishing the Iowa caucuses in a virtual tie with a walking joke who wears sweater vests. “The eight people have spoken!” exclaimed Mr. Romney, who was joined […]
© Kevin Siers As usual, the mainstream media is concentrating on the horse race aspects of the primary, and ignoring the real issues. But even the media is having trouble finding drama in this.
