Let the games begin!
Looks like Modster and the rest of our other voices are on holiday or have disappeared altogether. Not sure who we'll be playing those games with.
I'm sure an new one (or two) of them will crawl out of the woodwork soon enough. If not on a pro bono basis, then AFP or one of the other right wing groups will outsource shilling.
That they check out on holiday just proves they're on the payroll.
Maybe their 2015 resolutions were to stop sounding like assholes……and they've actually stuck with it for 38 1/2 hours!
Haha–
I've been trying to stay checked out. It was a tough 2014 politically, I'm hoping for better to rally around in our Democratic leaders.
laugh of the day…….good thing i wasn't drinking anything.
Here's what we're missing:
2016 is a presidential.year. This is when Democrats come out in force. Michael Bennet is a stronger candidate than Mark Udall by far. He will not be beaten by a Tea Party whack job. Guess what after 2016 he will not vote with Obama. The Republicans have to bury that dead horse. The smart Republicans do not want to ditch the Affordable Care Act unless they can bring their own plan, which will bear a strong resemblance to the ACA if it has any chance of passing. Put up or shut up gentlemen
How the hell does the leg session start NEXT WEEK? I'm not ready for this shit.
what is there to get ready for? The House will pass stuff that the Senate will never pass. And vice versa. And on the off chance that something weird did get through both houses, the gov can veto. The only thing that must be done is the budget. And even when they've had 3-3 splits on JBC, they usually work something out.
Get a bag of popcorn and enjoy the show. But don't take it too seriously.
Progressives aren't happy with Obama's Treasury nominee, Antonio Weiss. And why should we be? Just because he speaks financial mumbo-jumbo and calls job outsourcing and tax evasion "corporate inversion" doesn't mean that he will be looking out for our interests.
See Steve Kornacki's takedown here, and below.
We'll see if Obama caves to unhappy Dems again. Attacks led by Warren among others have been pretty effective in a few other situations. And I think that's a good thing. I get tired of trying to convince 20 and 30 somethings that it matters whether they vote or not. So many just say Dems work for the corporate interests instead of for our interests just as much as Rs do so why should I bother? Dems need to show them there really is a reason to bother. I wish Obama would keep that in mind before he makes these decisions. I'm glad to see the pro- working middle income wing refusing to roll over.
Because it's his turn, that's why
Great news! Mike "I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles" Huckabee is leaving Faux News in preparation for running for president next year!
Some might say, "Mike who?" But remember, it's his turn. For the last 48 years every Republican nominee except one, George W. Bush in 2000 (and we all remember how that turned out), has been a guy who ran one or more times before. Huck was the big winner of the Iowa caucuses in 2008; that quadrennial event dominated on GOP side by the folks wearing tin foil hats.
By getting into the mix, Huck will keep the nod from going by default to Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Mittens or Nwt Gingrich. It's their turns, too.
I looked it up just to make sure that was a real quote and…. yep. What a perfect candidate for the Create Your Own Reality, What Global Warming, What Evolution, Trickle Down Works Party.
And they come with their Rock and their Roll!
"Entertainment is a far cry from worship"
In theory, that's true. But I'm old enough to remember the televangelists from the '80's. Who can forget the shows that Jim and Tammy Bakker put on. Or Oral Roberts' infamous shake down re: being recalled by his creator unless his flock kicked in the requisite amount of money. Or my all time favorite: the folks who speak in tongues and play with poisonous snakes (sometimes with unfortunate results).
Spirituality, when done right, is not supposed to be entertainment.
80s? You mean Mike Huckabee?
Mike Huckabee And Montel Williams To Be Guest On Jim Bakker TV Show
He's gonna get in the RNC Clown Car. Huckabee, Montel and Bakker ought to throw in too as far as I'm concerned.
if he wins, they'll serve in his cabinet
Isn't Bakker a "doctor" of something?
Who could forget evangelist Amy Semple McPherson riding a motorcycle down her tabernacle's aisle dressed as a traffic cop and leaping off to exclaim "Stop! You are going to Hell!" Now there was a babe to pray with.
If Rev. Ted Haggard had tried that, he'd have looked like one of the Village People…….It's fun to pray at the Y-M-C-A! (OR in his case, would it be "prey"?)
I'm old enough to remember them, too. They're the ones currently in charge of this little thing that we variously refer to as Evangelical Christianity, or the Fundamentalists, or Fundagelicals… Or the Moral Majority that allies itself with the Republican Party.
I am saddened by the direction many Christians seem to have lurched since the days when we laughed at the televangelists crying "give me money or God will take us off the air!"
Don't you remember when Jesus set up shop with the money changers in the Temple?
Gallop, which hasn't been very kid to Obama in a very long time, crossed over into positive territory for him yesterday. Yes, it's just one poll nd the other that's had him positive several times recently is the silly Razzie, but his RCP average is improving little by little since the election and his executive action on immigration, his opening the door to normalization of relations with Cuba and other actions, announcements and statements of opinion. So it doesn't look like the GOTP campaign to paint him as the what me worry vacationing dictator is having the desired effect.

The Pueblo Chieftain published my guest essay on the Keystone today (in its entirety 🙂 )
Congrats. great essay.
My third guest essay for the DP is regarding our hemp industry. Fingers crossed – if they don't publish it I'll submit it to the Chieftain.
