Over the last few days it has been humorous to say the least listening to Republicans condemn President Obama for ‘bullying’ the Supreme Court over the soon-to-be-announced decision on the legality of his healthcare law.
It’s hard to believe that at one point in his career, Geraldo Rivera was actually a respected journalist.
Now that the Supreme Court has wrapped up the oral argument phase of what will be the mother of all landmark decisions – Wednesday’s topic concerned the issue of severability – it basically boils down to one of three possibilities.
If the individual mandate does indeed get struck down, the whole law ostensibly goes out the window. One cannot survive without the other.
You Mitt Romney, are the used-car salesman from hell. That’s what I’ve been calling you now for several months, and not without reason.
Now that the economy has added more than 200,000 jobs for the third month in a row – February’s report showed a net gain of 227,000 – it’s time to stop beating around the bush. This is no longer a temporary bump or phase; we are now smack dab in the middle of a recovery.
The exodus of advertisers from the Rush Limbaugh show has been considerable, remarkable and equally hypocritical.
Somewhere out there you just know Ozzy Osbourne is laughing his ass off. The king of crazy, who once bit the heads off of 2 doves to get attention from a record label, has had to play second fiddle to the GOP these days.
Now that it has proven futile for Republicans and conservatives to poo-poo last month’s jobs’ report, the only logical alternative is for them to accuse the Bureau of Labor Statistics of cooking the numbers to make them look better than they actually are for the President.
Hear it? That’s the sound of the air escaping from the Republican balloon. The news that the economy netted 243,000 jobs in January dropping the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent
That he is vehemently anti-choice should come as no surprise to anyone, but even the staunchest “pro-lifers” wouldn’t be stupid enough to say something this insensitive.
The Tea Party adores you. And why shouldn’t they? You’re made for each other. You’re myopic, insular, rude, obnoxious, a compulsive liar, and your ego could fill the Grand Canyon
Now that Democrats have secured more than enough signatures to trigger a recall election of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, the real test is coming down the road. Getting disgruntled voters to sign a petition is one thing; actually getting rid of a sitting governor with just over one year on the job is quite another.
While it is certainly true that the dynamics behind the financial crisis and what Bain Capital did during the years Mitt Romney ran it are different, the essence of both are frighteningly similar.
The most fascinating (and oddly humorous) thing has been both the attacks on Romney’s campaign – mainly from Newt Gingrich – and the circling of the wagons around the former Massachusetts governor by the very people who weren’t all that crazy about him to begin with.
The news that the economy added over 200,000 jobs last month and that the unemployment rate dropped to a three-year low of 8.5% was certainly music to the ears of an awful lot of people, especially the people who reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
One down, two to go. So now that Iowa has spoken – or at least the 122,255 who bothered to give a damn and cast their votes (that’s about 5.4% of the state’s population) – the man the Tea Party can’t stand has eked out the smallest margin of victory in its ‘illustrious’ history.
Well, kids, here it is: the first annual Idiots’ Delight year-end awards. Yes, I know it was hard waiting, but hopefully your patience will be rewarded. I held nothing back. If you had it coming, you got it.
