When the Republicans stop telling lies about us, we’ll stop telling the truth about them. — Adlai Stevenson
Florida Deomcratic congressman Alan Grayson went from obscurity to being a darling of the Angry Left when he put up this sign during the House floor debate over the helath care reform bills. Given the spineless appeasement tactics of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, it’s nice to see that there’s at least one Dem in Congress still in possession of his testicles.
Of course, the Republicans immediately turned their hate-spewing shit-spinning machine at him and started demanding an apology for his sign…after all, their guy had to apologize when he called the President of the United States a liar to his face in the middle of his address to Congress, so this is obviously equivalent…ahem.

Maybe Obama can get the Nobel Prize for Medicine for doing nothing about that, too.

It’s going to be a long two months waiting for the iPad to actually ship so that all the tech bloggers and their hangers-on will stop writing so much speculative bullshit about iT and turn their attention iNstead to some other thing that’s going to Change Life As We Know iT. Since you cannot click [...]
Please, please, PUH-LEEZE stop talking about “What do we call the last decade?” Nobody could come up with an acceptable choice ten years ago, and nobody’s going to come up with one now. “Aughties” and “Naughties” are contrived and stupid, and so is the very idea that anything wraps up all nice and neatly into [...]
