H/T: ThinkProgress What could possibly be the rationale behind blocking this bill? Other than sticking your chest out to prove you can, I don’t see what conservatives have to gain by this. Shockingly sad–especially for the party that considers themselves patriots.

Alvin Greene + Hot Lyrics = New Senator From South Carolina
July 28th, 2010 · 3 Comments · america, Comedy, Democrats, Politics
Alvin Greene and his people suddenly realized that they can spit hot fire. So why not take the next logical step, and do a little Alvin Greene rap for the campaign? The video– complete with a family values theme, tea party anti-Obama hate signs, and a rusty sounding vocoder– might just be the thing to [...]

Three Reasons Why Jim Bunning’s GOP Is Out Of Touch With America
March 4th, 2010 · No Comments · america, News, Politics, Republicans
Senator Jim Bunning, R-(KY): Last week, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., asked to pass a 30-day extensions bill for unemployment insurance and other federal programs. Earlier in February, those extensions were included in a broader bipartisan bill that was paid for but did not meet Sen. Reid’s approval, and he nixed the deal. When I [...]

“Now I’ve taken a 45-day unpaid leave of absence from my job at Merrill Lynch. It’s not right to draw a salary when I’m out every day campaigning. Fortunately, I’ve still got a little NYU teaching job and some MSNBC, so for a while I think I can put food on the table. Okay look. [...]

The win for the GOP complicates Democrats attempts at not only passing health care reform, but other policy issues as well. Is this a [...]
Chris Dodd: The Birth Of A Legacy
January 7th, 2010 · No Comments · america, Democrats, News, Politics
Christopher J. Dodd’s been a senator from the state of Connecticut for over 30 years. Growing up in Southeastern Connecticut, I recall Senator Dodd as an affable, yet towering figure. He was admired, and often emulated by those aspiring to replicate his success. A son of the nutmeg state, Dodd grew up in Willimantic, probably [...]

I suppose the conundrum as been solved. Dodd’s done: With poll after poll showing Dodd trailing, it became increasingly clear that his candidacy was not salvageable. A senior Democratic official said Dodd’s long-rumored, and always-denied, retirement plans were “inevitable – like gravity.” Still, a source familiar with Dodd’s plans insisted late Tuesday that there was [...]
