The Whole Delivery

Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to consider filibuster reform. It had to be done. — Senator Harry Reid (@SenatorReid) November 21, 2013 It's something that should have happened a long time ago , and that was even before the Republican Party became the deranged and nutcase element that it has been for years. Simply put, it shows again how you need to elect the right people with the correct ideology into The House of Lords (The Senate) in order to have the right, correct bills that work for the good of the nation as a collective whole. When Harry Reid was finally fed up over the secret and not so secret blockings of judges continuing by the nutcase party, both him and Obama just had to just do what was required. Senate Republicans were given a final warning in July , but they just wouldn't listen unsurprisingly. And as Sir Moulitsas states as eloquently and directly as he usually does , Republicans knew full well that Reid & company had the full will to...

Honoring the lives tonight of Lance Cpl. Shane R. Martin, 23 and SPC Michael L. Stansbery, 21 , both perished in Afghanistan. To Tevin, until then hopefully folks, stay well:

Nancy Pelosi's live speech: Online TV Shows by Ustream ( Update: And the interview session is over at 1:15 PM, 10:15 out there. Full analysis to come later. )

Yesterday, as most many know, Bradley Manning, the leaker to Wikileaks of the infamous US soldiers shouting Iraqi civilians, received criminal charges. The attack on whistleblowers from the Obama Administration is just as intense and reckless as if they were the Cheney/Bush Administration. And the brilliant and intrepid Jesselyn Radack has another massive post over at the Kos, talking about and reminding people how President Obama has clearly changed his stance on protecting whistleblowers like Manning and Tom Drake. Damaging : Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will stren...

Especially when those troops become homeless veterans . Use them as they want to, then throw them away. Just like toys.

And basically leading to a great political day for all Democrats : That is what you do for your masters . The White House and Democrats have gone right away at seizing on Barton's unbelievable stupidity . "What is shameful is that Joe Barton seems to have more concern for big corporations that caused this disaster than the fishermen, small business owners and communities whose lives have been devastated by the destruction. Congressman Barton may think that a fund to compensate these Americans is a 'tragedy', but most Americans know that the real tragedy is what the men and women of the Gulf Coast are going through right now. Members from both parties should repudiate his comments." And how did the TV people cover it?? Update 4 -- CNN and MSNBC both replayed Barton's apology to BP at the top of the hour. Fox completely ignored it. Go figure. CNN also played Markey's response. I guess Barton's other masters at Fox didn't want to see their ...

Not........Good............... AT.....................ALL : Figures he might say that, since he believes in the "Heckuva Job" philosophy as well I guess : The managing director of one of the big companies of this world, with this type of judgment and foresight. No wonder why we are in the dire mess that we are in.

Heh : And yet, Chris Matthews is still on his "Blumenthal is a liar and dishonorable man" crusade. So funny looking at these fools still acting like fools.

Because when this go out yesterday, everyone was watching: Hopefully no little girl was crying. The Mr. Moulitsas weekly Saturday hate thread was awesome this week, including this gem : URGENT!! POST YOUR ADDRESS ASAP!! SIR: YOU ARE A COMMUNIST HOMO. PLEASE PUBLISH YOUR FULL ADDRESS SO THAT I CAN COME OVER TO YOUR HOUSE AND TAKE A SHIT IN YOUR MAILBOX. IF YOU REFUSE TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION (OR IF YOU LIVE TOO FAR AWAY FROM WICHITA), I WILL SEND THE DEUCE TO YOU VIA FEDEX. And: Parade lap You know something? Your victory parade here in May is a little freakin' early, buddy. Just wait until November when we'll give all you demoncrats a thorough thrasing you won't ever forget. Sestak?! A loser. Halter?! A likely butt pirate. That scumbum in Pennsylvania whose previous job was holding John Murtha's colostomy bag?! He's goin' down!! And this time not just to wipe up the spilled poop of that corrupt old man! And what are you all excited about what...

Brought to you by the New York Times . Mr. Black : Either the NYT just ran with oppo research they were fed without bothering to check, or they did their own snipitty snip snipping . Given recent history, I imagine they'll address the issue in 10 years or so. We'll be lucky for it to be even a decade if they do so. A lot of people, from myself and especially the likes of Tweety bird, the usually terrific Bill Press, Ron "Cheney Uncle Tom Laptog" Christie and a hell of a lot of others deserve to give a major apologize to Blumenthal. But that should all start with the Judy Miller rag. But I think their arrogance from the ACORN era will prevent them from doing so for another while. Journalism rolls in its grave yet again for another day in America.

it's what classy corporations that mess up the environmental and cause serious national security problems do of course. Real seriously problems that go deeper than creating The Gulf of BP. I'm just going to say that whatever I do wrong, I will not be responsible for doing it. I just won't be held accountable for my troubling actions since BP is more than allowed to say they aren't responsible for creating America's Black Sea.

Man, oh man , oh man : In a sane world, Bob Corker would never speak on a financial issue (or any other issue for that matter) again. This clown talks about not being in the politics of this, yet he voted against cloture one on Tuesday and once on yesterday . Oh, and by the way, we sure as hell don't live in a sane world.

Late 1:50 AM : There has been a 6.1 earthquake in The Philippines , will keep you updated on that in the morning. Updated 2 : As you probably heard by now, no signs of damage or causalities has been reported. Relief. Marijuana is now on the ballot in California for November. Oh man . Haha, The Orangeman said that a tax on tanning discriminates against white people . What a loser. On a serious note, here is an IGTNT memorial for this thread, as we remember the lives of Sgt. Joel D. Clarkson, Chief Petty Officer Adam Brown, and Spc. Robert M. Rieckhoff . God bless to their families and for just being brave and loving the nation. To Tevin.......God bless to you, and see you on the flip:

Sadly not surprising, but utterly disturbing and scary: Vandals have struck the Tuscon office of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), the Monroe County Democratic Committee headquarters in upstate New York, Rep. Louise Slaughter’s (D-NY) Niagara Falls office, the Knox County Democratic headquarters in Ohio, and the Sedgwick County Democratic Party headquarters in Wichita, KS. The local Rochester ABC affiliate now has more information on the upstate NY vandalism, including an assassination threat against the children of lawmakers who voted for health reform: No one was inside when the brick was hurled through the Democratic Patry Headquarters on University Avenue. Attached was a note quoting conservative Barry Goldwater: “Exremism [sic] in defense of liberty is no vice”. [...] [Rep. Louise] Slaughter has been at the center of the push for reform. Last Thursday she received a chilling recorded message at her campaign office. “Assassinate is the word they used…toward the children of la...

It takes a very, VERY special situation for anyone rational to link to a National Review article . The following is one of those situations. And making it even more special is the fact that it comes at the last paragraph. And the politics of the issue are pretty rough. “This has really reached an unhealthy stage,” Stupak says. “People are threatening ethics complaints on me. On the left, they’re really stepping it up. Every day, from Rachel Maddow to the Daily Kos, it keeps coming. Does it bother me? Sure. Does it change my position? No.” HAHAHAHAHAHA. Those damn mean old lefty hippies have done it again. Those hippies who help exposed a lying non-rent paying religious nutcase for the fool that he is. Why must they she full light on this fraud of an individual? Because when people like this think they can get away with being the center of attention and impose their childish, selfish, and irrational views, and figure they can be slick about it for their own benefits, they des...

They most have secret accounts over there . Oh yeah, speaking of Brown's stupidity, here is that entire interview : I guess the truck didn't tell him to say what he said.

It is beyound how hilarious Republican and conservative figures have reacted towards the Research 2000 poll commissioned and sponsored by the Daily Kos that was released on Tuesday. These idiots, already seeing the name Daily Kos, automatically are doing one of two things. Either they fail to realize that Research 2000, the non-partisan polling group, orchestrated the poll with Daily Kos putting its name behind it as they always do. Or simply as in the video above with O'Liely and Rove, they vehemently pretend like no other that Daily Kos was the one who conducted the poll, meaning that it was slighting tainted to fit their agenda. The pain of these results from this poll is too hard for them to bare, and they are also angry that one of the blogs that they wish would be abolished from the face of the Earth is showing how it is here to stay. It is indeed fun comedy to see how angry the arrogant, uncaring, and ignorant are at their own results being published right in their ...

REMEMBER !!! .

This commercial.... ...was the latest stupid piece of crap from this group , who also made this piece of BS. So obviously, I was going to come up with a perfect response to this stupid group and their childish commercials. Then, someone over at the Kos did it perfectly. That someone is an individual appropriately named the girl . The girl basically uttered what I exactly felt. Please read it if you feel the same.

Photo from Monsivais of the Associated Press The O'Jays must have been in his head. Or maybe not Jonathan Allen reports newly-amended financial disclosure forms find that Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) -- who heckled President Obama last night -- is heavily leveraged and his debts may even exceed his assets. The new filings reveal for the first time hundreds of thousands of dollars in previously unreported loans from federal credit unions and banks. A Wilson aide did not reply to e-mailed requests for information, and phone lines to Wilson's office were jammed. Meanwhile, Wilson's Democratic opponent in next year's election has pulled in over $300,000 in new campaign contributions since last night. In debt. Maybe someone should hold a "You Liar" rally for this man. And while we are at it, let's show high morale Joe in a great past moment. "Hatred of America." What a guy.
