Kill it.

Yes, people will die, but people will die if this bill passes as is.

Joe Lieberman should die.

No, I don’t need Peter fucking Beinart to tell me it was a smart move. And I’ll ask the U.S. Conference of Bishops for their opinion the next time they chain themselves to the White House fence over poverty, war and failing schools. [more]

It takes a Muslim to get Jonah Goldberg to look in the mirror.

But he can’t can’t make Max Boot think.

And more on Michele Bachmann’s disruptive yammering, not to be confused with Fred Phelps’ whelps’ whining. [more on the yammering from Digby]

It’s not at all unfair to ask just how dangerous is the right?

Debunking more lies about Reagan [and remembering his greatest failures]

If you have to argue about delivery, I’d say the battle over content’s already been lost [more] [more content/quality going out the door]

Overtime for workers: we’re still fighting this battle because corporations are still run by law-bending weasels who overcompensate themselves and have to fuck someone over to make up the difference

VAT: Vagina Added Tax

Hating on workers

Fifteen-year-old St. Paul kid comes home so drunk he can barely walk, a few hours later he’s dead.

Very sad.

Do we still teach kids about how how alcohol can kill them? Or does Just Say No mean that we teach booze/substance abuse like we do reproductive science?

Tragic youthful mistake, or politically driven, school-induced ignorance?

The article mentions that a new state law makes it a felony to give alcohol to anyone under 21 if it turns out badly.

I’m sure punishing the other kids at the party will make the dead kid’s family a lot happier.

Almost as happy as if he’d had a biology teacher explain alcohol poisoning to him.

When you’re in power, you cut your folks some slack. Not to be all feminazi about it, but using healthcare reform to fuck with abortion services is the affront too far for me.

O, you’re on notice. Sign anything that restricts a woman’s right to an abortion and I’ll be looking for someone new in ‘12.

Someone who doesn’t remind me of Joe fucking Lieberman, the Armey of Dick, or Lincoln freaking Chafee.

Someone who has the balls to vote for principle, even in a tough district. [Yes I mean you, Tim Walz — even if it is bullshit that your CD leans right.]

But that doesn’t mean I support netroots pantswetting, or just about anything spearheaded by the always ambitious, never shy, creeptacular, self-promoting John Aravosis.

Boycotts? The only currency that means anything are votes. A donor boycott is the kind of lame shit you do after you forgot you used to be for campaign finance reform.

Look at the people who represent you. Who’s running against them in a primary next year? Why not? You don’t change the Village by re-electing these so-called Democrats. You get change through change.

We need more change.

Better change.

Change change.
