I’ve got a nagging suspicion this is an attempt to resuscitate the Cadillac tax–or some sort of end to the health insurance tax break.

Vote now for the 2010 FDL Fire Dogs

Today Anthony Weiner moves past Raul Grijalva and challenges Eric Massa for the third spot as a 2010 FDL Fire Dog. With two days left to go, there are only 151 votes separating them.

And the third day totals for the FDL Fire Dogs are. . . .

19-term Congressman John Murtha (D-PA 12) has passed away. He was 77.

His condition was thought to be grave after complications following gall bladder surgery. He was expected to be in the hospital for several months.

Murtha was a chair of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee and ran for House Majority Leader in 2006. He was an early voice against the Iraq war in 2005, before many members of Congress were willing to do so.

After starbursting the Teabaggers, the Quitter came down to Texas where she appeared with the Secessionist at a book burning campaign rally on Sunday.

Information travels too fast these days to maintain that kind of charade when you’re actively working against against your own base. Rahm thought that you could fool all of the people this time, that in the end they could package a “goody bag” and Obama could sell it to his supporters and call it health care reform — even though he had campaigned against the very back room deal making with PhRMA and other stakeholders that formed the underpinnings of the health care bill. When insurance stocks soared, people understood. When the PhRMA deal leaked out, they got it.

There’s a serious problem with the 24-hour news cycle – even the most plugged-in operatives forget the past. The House put Mr. Ryan’s budget up to a vote LAST YEAR. They did make the GOP vote on it. In fact, the vote split their caucus.

Palin thought she could endorse Rand Paul and they’d all throw flowers at her feet. Instead they’re having a melt down over her speech trying to figure out how to keep the neocons out of future conventions.

Obama’s been out there giving kickass speeches, but how good is his actual policy? When it comes to food, not very good.

Crazy Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) gets exposed, for the second time in a week, as a raging hypocrite. And the press has no interest.

• I would say “others” mean “most.”
