Brooks has nailed it with uncharacteristic accuracy. Obama and the Democrats don’t define victory as achieving concrete objectives or positive change; they define it as merely passing legislation, no matter how half-assed and crappy it might be.

DING !

We saw it with the supplemental. We saw it with Waxman-Markey. We’re seeing it on public option.

If it walks like a Blue Dog and whips for the Blue Dogs, it must be a Blue Dog, even if it barks like a progressive.

Seattle’s shelter no longer euthanizes due to lack of space. Thank goodness.

My daughter who works for the SPCA told me today that because of Arnold’s budget cuts they will only be allowed to keep the animals 2 days instead of 4.
