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...

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...

His weekly hate mail, as always, is classic (viewer discretion os advised due to wild cursing and just wildness in general form nutcases, mostly conservative). Here is one highlight of the usually great post : TRUTH For someone who says he doesn't watch much cable news, President Barack Obama sounded pretty familiar with the standard talk show format of left vs. right when he was asked about it earlier this year. "It feels like WWF wrestling," Obama explained to NBC's Brian Williams in an interview. "You know, everybody's got their role to play." Correct you are asshole. MSNBC has the role of your fan club president selling your ass. FOX has the role of educating the people and they are winning Because the only people who watch MSNBC are tree hugging liberal faggots who have their heads up your ass. Again, for more nuttiness and hatefulness that you can tolerate, just go over there . Good times. More TWD Saturday to come.

But darnit, they have basically validated the DeMinted one. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News , World News , and News about the Economy

It's so crazy and hateful , that you have to love it. Including this one (reader discretion is advised) Ok White Boy Dude do you have anything better to do with your time than write blogs about being pulled over as it relates to the Gates incident? Why do you and other white liberals insist on keeping this story alive? What's your fucking problem other than a) feeling guilty because of the color of your skin and b) trying to further inflame a situation that is/will defuse on its own? Read the stories about the cop's background. He is not Mark Fuhrman. He is an honorable man who serves his community well, has been well regarded by his fellow officers (including, gasp, black officers!!!) and thanks to people like you will probably never have a normal life again. You are a poster child for why people mock uber libs for your over the top histrionics and inability to react objectively to incidents exactly like this (without a peace rally and candle lighting ceremony or a prot...

It's what they are all about at days end.

David Chapelle's food story......an absolute classic. Markos Moulitsas weekly hate mail post is always a classic. My God, You are an f'ing moron. We currently have in the White House the least qualified and worst president in my lifetime (I go back to Truman). He has had to beat out Jimmy Carter to earn that dubious distinction. Sarah Palin would be a breath of fresh air. You idiots are really scared of her because you know she is effective. Palin/ Jindal 2012! Yup, and that's one of the least irrational ones. Wait until you see the others. And Paul McCartney at Bailout Field last night. May you all have a great Saturday night....as I try to as well.

Please, let's do. I wish we could start a fun drive to get him some glasses. Kos' hatemail is highlighting the best he has received , so no new gems, but still, great stuff. This will be on Twitter later, but I will say it now so I won't forget it later: Skype is creepy as hell to me. Tomorrow, I'll explain how, in some improbable fashion, Obama has played this whole thing correctly in regards to the stimulus money. In my opinion only, of course. But that doesn't mean at all TWD is done for the day. Oh no it isn't. At all. There is more to come, including from James (hopefully) his prediction for UFC 100 tonight (because I sure as hell don't know what's going to happen or what is evening happening besides Lesnar being in the WWE before). James' threads are always real, informative, and some of the best reading you'll see in terms of sports on TRON hands down (and to me, in general). Love that dude. And did I mention how much I love this commerci...

Atrios , for today, is a hater : I beg to differ. And Kos' weekly hate mail is again, a classic. Including this lovely nugget he received: Dear Daily Communist Greetings komrad you leftist homeless-sexuals should call your welfare (smellfare) programs what they are namely a payoff to Obummer's drug dealer suppporters and donors you see when money gets redistributed from hard working Americans to drug addicted minority hobos it effectively becomes a bailout for the crack industry. More to come later, enjoy the little stuff below.

To me, he only did this because of the justified rising pressure on him from the gay community I'm sure this will quell rising LGBT anger with the administration... Reacting to a rising tide of anger from gay and lesbian supporters at a series of slights and deferred promises, President Obama will tomorrow extend some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees. The move, which begins to mirror the policy of many large corporations, will have an immediate effect for many workers, but it is a deeply reactive response to a core Democratic group whose concerns have been festering for six months. The presidential memorandum -- scheduled for signing tomorrow at 5:45 p.m., may in the short term, give Joe Biden something positive to say at a June 25 fundraiser that has seen prominent guests drop out, a host sharply attack the administration, and which is expected to be marked by protests. However, the Defense of Marriage Act prohibits the federal government from extending health...

Mr.Moulitsas gives everyone a hilarious laugh with this find on the Republican Senate and Republican Congressional site : 1020? Um, that's 989 years ago, and 990 next year. But for a party that lives in the past, maybe it wasn't a typo.

Remember last week ? Well, whether you did or not, here's this week's edition . It is pure comedy again.

Pure comedy.

Photo from cwilkiemeltonfoundation.org This would certainly confirm that all those concussions he suffered in his career are still affecting him, if this is really true?

Photo from the AP's John Bazemore Late start to the day for me, which has been the case thanks to school stuff as always. As we all know by now, the smear master, Saxby Chambliss, held his Senate seat with ease last night, thumping Jim Martin as turnout was terrible in Georgia last night. In today's Daily Kos Midday News Thread , the 43rd President is blaming the 41st one. Bush Jr. is now blaming his father for the nation's economic ills. Those guys crack me up when they talk about "personal responsibility". Obama announces Richardson as Commerce secretary , as long, long expected. Read this about the controversy over the salary of the new Secretary of State , Hilary Clinton. (Though it's not "OMG" news though.) This administration still won't label their pathetic job with the economy, a "recession." In sports, and I will talk more about this later, Antonio Pierce isn't out of the woods yet in regards to hiding the gun of Plaxci...

Yesterday, The Whole Delivery opened its Joe Lieberman Trial Series , and here's the continuation until the decision next week. For those who thought Barack Obama was fully ho-hum on this, think again: Mr.Moulitsas : Doesn't sound like Barack Obama is being that conciliatory to Joe Lieberman: Sen. Joe Lieberman has reached out to President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden to arrange a congratulatory phone call, a Democratic aide tells The Crypt. The effort has led to a recent conversation between Biden and Lieberman. So Lieberman called Obama to congratulate him (and suck up to try and save his committee chairmanship), and Obama hands him off to Biden. Ms.Maddow speaks her thoughts about the "trial", last night. The people of Connecticut are really unhappy, and angry, with Lieberman. Do you approve or disapprove of the job Joe Lieberman is doing as U.S. senator? Approve 36 (45) Disapprove 61 (43) If the 2012 election for U.S. Senate were held to...

The trial of Joe Lieberman has been discussed vehemently, all over the liberal online network. From the Daily Kos: Mr.Moulitsas on Evan Bayh saying Lieberman needs to say on the committee , after he has a "sincere apology" of some sort. M-squared believes Lieberman has too much ego to shown penitence. Of course, we all know Lieberman never will issue such an apology. He doesn't think he did anything wrong. His megalomania is such that it prevents him from every showing any humility or regret. So will Bayh still whip his fellow Democratic senators in favor of Lieberman if Lieberman refuses to offer that heartfelt public apology? He'd look foolish if he did so. Then again, Lieberman has never given a damn about making his allies look foolish. Bayh may end up being just the latest in a long line of people burned by Lieberman's insufferable sanctimony. Also from the Kos is Jed Lewison perspective on this, and it isn't at all warm to what Bayh said, even if it ma...

(Original Image from mchenrycountyblog.com ) From Mr.Moulitsas today: Arizona Polling : Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 10/28-30. Likely voters. MoE 4% (No trend lines) McCain (R) 48 Obama (D) 47 Early voters (17 percent of sample) McCain (R) 42 Obama (D) 54 It is so bad for the Arizona Senator that he has to do this. McCain forced to campaign in Arizona on Monday. I bet he wishes he could spend the evening in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Florida. Not on that, but spending time in your own state the day before the last date of voting. Geez Louise. The home state is already the straw showing how terrible McCain's chances are at this point. But factors in Georgia and North Dakota , traditional and usual Republican, Red State strongholds, also indicate ominous signs for the POW. Georgia McCain (R) 47 (49) Obama (D) 44 (43) Already voted McCain (R) 40 Obama (D) 55 North Dakota McCain (R) 47 (45) Obama (D) 46 (45) This has emboldened Obama to do this (link via Kos ): Obama's campaign, ca...

(Photo from Rob Bennett for The New York Times) Oh yes, this is great news indeed. First, this great diary from Stu hunter over at the Kos : In television, ratings are the bottom line, and Rachel Maddow has little to worry about these days. In the six weeks since Maddow took over the 9:00 p.m. hour on MSNBC, she's doubled the timeslot's audience. "I'm pinching myself," Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC, tells The New York Times. More, from the NY Times about Rachel's success . More important for her bosses at MSNBC is that “The Rachel Maddow Show,” her left-leaning news and commentary program, has averaged a higher rating among 25- to 54-year-olds than “Larry King Live” on CNN for 13 of the 25 nights she has been host. While the average total audience of her program remains slightly smaller than that of Mr. King’s, Ms. Maddow, 35, has made MSNBC competitive in that time slot for the first time in a decade. The channel at that hour has an average viewers...

(Photo from JedReport.com) Another integral part of the "rational online community" in America is a gentleman by the name of Jed Lewsion. Here's a quick bio from the Huffington Post about Jed: Jed Lewison covers politics and edits video for The Huffington Post. He's based in Las Vegas, NV, and was previously communications director for U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell and director of online marketing for RealNetworks. As you can see on "The Outstanding" site roll (on the right side of the page) that one of the links is "The JedReport," Lewison's site where he basically has all the major videos of the day, and in particular, the Presidential race for this year. This guy is unbelievable, and I'm trying to figure out how the hell he gets all these videos so fast? In fact, here's more about him, and his site . Maybe that will help me with answer (or an interview with him) : Although The Jed Report is relatively new, I've been active online ...
