The National Organization for Marriage definitely deserves ridicule. And ridicule it we did.

Boston Globe interview with Elizabeth Warren, chair of TARP Congressional Oversight Panel.

With only seventy-two hours or so before America gets teabagged by conservatives the teabagggers are getting all hard-nippled with excitement as their big day approaches. After Wednesday, NOTHING IN AMERICA WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN…

Obama rescued from unsubstantiated meme.

What do the Teabaggers hope to accomplish? Putz’s op-ed in today’s NY Post attempts to answer that question. Let’s take a look at the biggest borrowers-and-spenders over the past 40 years.

Glenn Reynolds, who has made himself the online face of the Teabagger extremists, certainly knows more than his “peeps” that there is huge right wing infrastructure behind the demonstrations. But he plays the good soldier in today’s NY Post:

Now that the movement looks likely to be big and successful, various established groups (mostly on the right, though a lefty counterpart will march this weekend) are getting involved.

When the Paulson Treasury was trying to figure out what to do about the financial crisis they saw coming, they turned to their BFFs, their contributors, the very people who caused the problem, for instructions.

Teabaggers are having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that “grassroots” demonstrations aren’t orchestrated by corporate lobbyists. Understandable — if you didn’t have any experience organizing a demonstration that didn’t have millions in free PR from Fox News and well-funded GOP fat cats providing a national infrastructure, you wouldn’t know the difference.

The Illinois governor’s budget proposal would scale back home visits to ill-equipped first-time mothers, who are given advice over 18 months that experts say is repaid many times over in reduced child abuse and better school preparation.

• Some people never learn.
• Come on now, “military victory“?
• Some health care advice for the POTUS.
• Uh-oh.
• What does “out” mean, General?
• Rick Warren punks out.
• Dismissing criticism of Obama’s lack of “bi-partisanship.” 
• Nothing like a good InstaSmackdown.
