At least he’s put something on paper, no matter how silly or bad.
He’s not being hysterical or wingnutty,
He’s not lying like Hatch, Chaffettz and Bishop*,

I’m far from the only [...]

Oh, Firedoglake, how I love you – good work:
Michele Bachmann held a town hall forum at Lake Elmo that went pretty much the way you would expect it to have gone.
At the opening the attendees were told to recite the Pledge of Allegiance (with the “under God” part, natch, that was added during the McCarthy [...]

Thanks to Crooks and Liars

We cannot know for certain how long we have here. We cannot foresee the trials or misfortunes that will test us along the way. We cannot know God’s plan for us.
What we can do is to live out our lives as best we can with purpose, and love, and joy. We [...]

Ok, before I begin this, I have to admit – I have two little ones in the house and they are split on Reading Rainbow.

I wanted to say a few words this morning about the passing of an extraordinary leader, Senator Edward Kennedy.
Over the past several years, I’ve had the honor to call Teddy a colleague, a counselor and a friend. And even though we have known this day was coming for some time now, we awaited it with [...]
