Cantor strikes again
My question when I see stories like this is how one of the slimiest creatures in the GOP’s reptile house can win a majority of votes in an honest election, even in a conservative Congressional district: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) faced criticism on Wednesday for introducing a version of the STOCK Act which many said had severely weakened the legislation. “Rep. Cantor has opposed the STOCK Act from the start and his bill reflects that,” said Melanie Sloan, [...]

Uh, no
Seriously? The White House is “all talk, no action” on moving toward compromise, said Anthony Picarello, general counsel for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “There has been a lot of talk in the last couple days about compromise, but it sounds to us like a way to turn down the heat, to placate people without doing anything in particular,” Picarello said. “We’re not going to do anything until this is fixed.” That means removing the provision from the health [...]

Picking and choosing
Isn’t it interesting, how Republicans pick and choose which moral positions they decide they want to support? Too bad they don’t knuckle under to pressure from the Catholic church on policies like this – and that the church doesn’t work quite as strenuously to push social justice issues as it does with those having to do with reproduction: WASHINGTON — The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has been quietly lobbying Congress to keep extended unemployment insurance for the long-term jobless.

Diet soda
It’s bad for a lot of reasons (bone health is another) but this is a pretty good reason to switch to water: Diet soda may seem to be a healthier alternative to calorie-laden regular soda, but a new study shows that people who regularly drink diet soft drinks may be putting their hearts at risk. Those who drank diet soda on a daily basis were at an increased risk of experiencing stroke, heart attack and death due to these conditions, [...]

Clint, how could you?
High-level Republican propagandists are still suffering from a severe case of cognitive dissonance resulting from the Chrysler ad, shown during the Super Bowl, in which Clint Eastwood — a hero of Ronald Reagan — praises the Detroit auto industry and Americans workers for fighting hard to recover from the collapse of the economy in 2008. From Raw Story.com: “They almost lost everything,” Eastwood says [in the ad]. “But we all pulled together. Now Motor City is fighting again.” “How do [...]

Well, it took three full days to turn out to be just another Republican lie. That’s a long time! That’s practically a full week, for a Senator, which is nearly almost half a week for the rest of us!
Color me deeply moved.

Actually I think earmarks are great. Why shouldn’t a politician run on getting funding for a SUPERTRAIN, levy, toxic clean up, whatever the locals want, and then ear mark funds for that. That is democracy. And that is what the disaster capitalism schnooks want to stop. The problem was secret earmarks to put contracts into the hands of cronies, but since secret earmarks have been abolished, I don’t see the problem with regular earmarks.

I don’t care about them at all. I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy.
