Friday Talking Points [218] -- Worst... Congress... Ever!
[ Posted Friday, July 13th, 2012 – 15:21 UTC ]
Even Truman's infamous "Do-Nothing Congress" actually managed to get a lot more done than what we've got now, folks

Super Lesbian PAC
[ Posted Wednesday, July 11th, 2012 – 15:39 UTC ]
In fact, I'd go further and advise other special interest groups dive into the same pond and create your own super PAC. How about a "Populist PAC," for instance? Or even an "Occupy PAC" or a "99% PAC"? Perhaps, a super PAC devoted to passing a "corporations aren't persons" amendment? I see nothing wrong with any of these, to tell the truth.
Friday Talking Points [217] -- At Night, The Ice Weasels Come

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.
Obama Poll Watch -- June, 2012
[ Posted Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012 – 16:27 UTC ]
With that out of the way, let's take a look at how Barack Obama is doing in the job approval category. For the first time ever, we have an exact tie, at 47.8 percent. Here's the chart:
Friday Talking Points [216] -- Obama Cares
[ Posted Friday, June 29th, 2012 – 16:19 UTC ]
All kidding aside, though, it certainly has been fun to see the other side spin. As a child's reader might put it: "See GOP spin. Spin, spin, spin! So sad, the spinning."
Dewey Defeats Truman?
[ Posted Thursday, June 28th, 2012 – 16:16 UTC ]
As is my wont, I'm going to circle the edges of the political bombshell John Roberts just flung into the arena. Maybe by tomorrow, it'll have percolated through my brain enough to intelligently attack the main issue, but I just haven't reached that point yet, so you'll have to forgive me.
Popular Vote Speculation Interlude
[ Posted Wednesday, June 27th, 2012 – 16:57 UTC ]
This time around, the scenario I've been hearing bandied about is that Barack Obama wins the Electoral College vote, but Mitt Romney wins the popular vote. Barring Supreme Court cases, this would mean a second term for Barack Obama, of course.
2012 Electoral Math
[ Posted Monday, June 25th, 2012 – 17:11 UTC ]
It's time once again to begin seriously taking a look at the electoral math for the upcoming election. I know, I know, everyone else is court-watching this week, but instead I decided to spend some time poll-watching, for those of you who may be getting tired of endless Supreme Court speculation and analysis.
Friday Talking Points [215] -- Morning Phones A-Ringing
[ Posted Friday, June 22nd, 2012 – 17:44 UTC ]
For political wonks, this has been a week of waiting. Starting last weekend, we've all been waiting for Mitt Romney to address the issue of Barack Obama's new immigration policy.
