Just shot this off to my local paper (The Valley News) after hearing that Jim “The Douche” Douglas in his infinite wisdom has declared that he’ll veto a marriage equality bill if it gets passed by the VT house in addition to the Senate. He is *such* an embarasment to this great state. To the…

So, Mr. Outreach had his first “virtual town hall” today, answering the questions most on the minds of people who travel teh intertubes. High (sic!) on their list: legalizing and taxing marijuana. How about it, Mr. President? Mr. Obama did just liven things up when he addressed a question that was among the most popular…

You gotta love this: House D’s are tweaking Obama’s massive budget. $100B cut — isn’t that nice. Notice, though, that this is all cut from “non-defense spending.” It’s like we live in a world where nobody can or should be spared suffering… except the Pentagon. So, the poor, the huddled masses get shafted as usual,…

If these are the voices of wisdom ruling our public discourse, then we’re *so* fucked: You don’t want to think if you get in bed with Uncle Sam he’s going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed, leave you there and then take nasty pictures of you and then put them on the…

I love Matt Taibbi’s style. The Big Takeover is masteful writing.

Wait, so let me get this straight: Sir Change-a-Lot and his brave night, Sir Geithner, insist that the big US automakers would have to go bankrupt before they could negotiate a loan from the US government, because that would allow them to renegotiate their union contracts and shaft the workers out of benefits, pensions, etc.…

Yeah, big fat surprise from Sir Change-a-Lot there. Since the war on drugs is going not-so-peachy (only a douchebag would imagine a war on drugs could ever be won — you’d think twenty plus years of trying and failing would offer him a hint), he’s apparently mulling over a plan to add some military muscle…
