When I saw the headline on my news feed, I thought, this must be FOX News. But, no, it was the AP.
FACT CHECK: Obama’s job, deficit claims are iffy
Could it be that the ban on reporting anything that might cast the president in a negative light has been lifted and the media is finally going [...]
So, Arlen Specter is now officially a Democrat. Big deal. I have been reading the polls for weeks showing that he was losing heartily against his conservative primary challenger. This is not really surprising.
What is surprising, although I guess it shouldn’t be, is that everyone is saying this is bad for the Republican Party because [...]

This video I found via GeekSugar is so funny, in a cheesy sort of way.
Sunday was “Debt Day,” the day the US government spent all its tax revenues. For the rest of the fiscal year, all money spent by the government is borrowed money.

I found out this morning that Bill Simmon and Steve Benen talked about my tea party post on their Poli-Sci-Fi [...]
I do not have video of the homeschoolers day at the State House. I was not feeling well, so I did not make it down there. I read that there were over 300 homeschooling parents and children in attendence. Go homeschoolers!
I was away for the weekend and decided to stay offline. I appreciate that there were no inappropriate comments while I was gone. You guys are great.
I am still slogging through my e-mail, but I will get back to the discussion in the Tea Party myths post as soon as I get a few minutes. [...]

So says Brian Austin Green, on a possible third season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
“There were no intentions of this being a series finale. It was absolutely a season finale. There’s a plan where this can go and it’s so good.”
FOX maintains that no decision has been made on whether or not to renew [...]
