Michelle Obama’s contribution to the health care debate

Anna at Jezebel has a post up praising Michelle Obama’s campaign against childhood obesity, now that the plan has been released. Anna’s happy with it, as she should be, since the plan—to no one’s great surprise, I hope—focuses on the causes of childhood obesity and not on shaming as some…

SOTU, after a good night’s rest

First of all, let me say I was wrong about one thing in the liveblogging last night. The way that Obama phrased the student aid plan last night set off all sorts of alarm bells for me. The way he explained it was that they would eliminate subsidies and replace…

Pure Hillary love post

Can I say that, even though I would have been ecstatic to have her as President (certainly would have been the same level of victory as electing Obama), things are really working out on the Hillary Clinton front? She’s completely kicking ass as the Secretary of State, one of the…

Today’s moments in over-the-top wingnuttery

Via Roy Edroso comes some more troubling examples of Michelle Malkin’s special brand of intellectual dishonesty.

I Wasn’t Even Aware That These “Obamas” Existed

It’s a day that ends in the letter Y, so there must be a Republican somewhere sending racist e-mails. Oh, yes, yes there is. In the past several months Atwater City Councilman Gary Frago has sent at least a half-dozen e-mails to city staff and other prominent community members containing…

Today, We Are All Hoekstras

Representative Pete Hoekstra (R-MI): Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House. By way of comparison, Republicans showed up after a weekend off to talk to an empty, dark room about drilling for oil or how Michelle Obama…

I haven’t had this much fun since Michelle Obama converted me to Islam

I really shouldn’t keep dragging this out, but I didn’t have a chance to post tonight, and so there. In the comments of the latest post of the most ridiculous blog war of April 2009, one of our newly gained commenters says: The fear the left has of libertarians is…

This Is America, Goddammit

I was under the impression we lived in America, not some shitty island nation with 18 political parties and ceremonial royalty. I was under the impression we lived in a country where cash in a card was a perfectly acceptable gift, where we walk into fancy restaurants in flip-flops because…
