That’s all it takes to get most Republicans to behave for a couple of days. Well, they’re back.

The right know they have shot themselves in the foot (so to speak) with all their gangland rhetoric of the last two years. What we’re witnessing is their somewhat spastic version of damage control.

At this point, the Repubs are the Democrats’ only real friend. If anyone can save the left from the death spiral of the Obamacrats, they can.

Merchants Gone Mad

Good morning, pups. It’s Brooks and Krugman today. Bobo has produced a thing called “Tree of Failure,” in which he lectures us that Great speeches alone won’t usher in a period of greater civility. The virtue arises out of an abiding knowledge of our own failure, sin, weakness and ignorance. If I want to hear a sermon I’ll go to church, where it won’t be preached by a water carrier for Republicans, Inc. Prof. Krugman, in “A Tale of Two Moralities,” says though President Obama spoke to our desire for reconciliation, the truth is that we are a deeply divided nation and are likely to remain so.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning. We’re back down in the deep freeze again, at 20°. so we’re having a reprise of last winter. I just hope that this summer won’t be as brutally hot as last summer was… Have a great day.

Why didn’t the left blogosphere pick up on the Popadich incident and amplify it? That’s a big deal and we may have been able to force the corporate media to address it. Now it’s old news. We have to look forward, doncha know.

Good morning, folks.

That’s one very scary video from Bob Filner’s election night in San Diego this past November. Apropos of nothing, the judge who will be hearing the Jared Loughner case works out of San Diego.

I could buy people’s comments that Jared’s killings on Saturday were just the work of a deranged man and it had nothing to do with the political rhetoric from the right if it weren’t for the fact that he was shooting at an advertised Democratic event and his first shot went to his Democratic congresswoman and he planned it.

Today is the day that the Republican National Committee shows that it can’t deal
with having a smart black man at the helm.
I hope Juan Williams has studied the pretzel position in yoga class.

Good morning all.

Bottomed out at -2.6 last night & up to a toasty 0.9 at the moment.

Heat wave!

About the video at the last link: please explain to me why the supporters of the TP haven’t
been indicted for material support of terrorism.

Coldest it’s been for quite awhile, but it’s been a cold winter. Also snowy.

Is this country deteriorating measurably on a daily basis, or is it just my imagination. (Rhetorical Q)

it’s getting to the point where i am actively not paying attention (Rhetorical A)

Me too.

Luckily, I’ve taken up cooking. Nice to have a diversion, esp one that appeals to something so basic.

As for myself, it’s knitting.

What WAS the name of that subversive group of women? Something like “The Ladies Knitting and Terrorist Society”. If anything knows, PLEASE tell me.

i hear ya about diversions – sounds like some warm food would be just the thing for your local climate – are you living in old forge? that’s really cold. here in Denver it’s going to be in the 50′s and everything is melting.

You mean Madame DeFarge?

morning, in these parts, to run for congress means supporting bloody insurrection, that’s how you get the funds and support;

‘Here, for example, is Representative Michael McCaul who appears to be calling on the crowd to shed the blood of the tyrannical Obama administration:

It’s about our founding fathers who in 1773 threw a little party called the Boston tea party. And fought against tyranny and oppressive taxes, does that sound familiar? We’re continuing that revolution right here in Austin, TX today. Thomas Jefferson once said that the tree of liberty will be fed with the blood of tyrants and patriots. You are the patriots.’

These folks assume their followers are deranged, and play to it – for votes.

I think that’s it. I’m going to google.

Is he your evil Congress creature?

Because Fox News is the master of appropriate and reality-based news content, right?

So what does it take for Fox to jump the shark and have even the slightest number of their viewers wake p to this nonsense and turn them off?

Actually, my own congresscritter is most famous for saying in the House that a sex traffic victim in the Marianas was just asking for it, yep, Ralph Hall.

Ruth talks about the blood of tyrants. Well, what about the blood of tyrants? those that kill our rivers, our lakes, our young men and women in uniform our hopes and our dreams?

The lunatic fringe right wing talks about the blood of tyrants because they are the tyrants….

Tyrants are their heroes, we talk about bringing about peace, truth and real honesty when it comes to making real progress…

so take your tyrants back to the 18th century, we choose to follow the NOW !!

Actually, I quoted from one of many campaigning right wing candidates, who took up the theme of patriotic bloodshed.

I take it you didn’t vote for him.

Worked in the opponent’s campaign. Even before he became a thuglican, Hall has been in it for the money. Even the Dallas Morning News refused to endorse him after, talking about taking Abramoff trips he’s taken, he said he wouldn’t do it differently if given the chance to do it all over again.

I don’t know what thinking person expects GOP-Fox-Teaparty Terror Corp. to grow a conscience. Why?

Expecting successful terrorists to change is kneeling to Fox Fans’ 24-7 terrorists who lavishly profit immune and utterly successful..while prescribing how Dem targets need to tastefully bury its dead victims.

Why would GOP Fox Teaparty Corp NOT EXPECT Dem terror target-supplicants to kneel before GOP FOX Teaparty masters of terror? Castrated shoe-shine GOP Barry Bush Obama exemplifies to the world how to bow to GOP Corp Terror-textbook. Barry is the model of fetch and kneel before his deadly master GOP Fox Teaparty of Terror.

It’s our job to:
- accumulate re-sale debt Fox Terror Corp’s Likud re-sale of debt to Bejing
-shut up
-die peacefully provided we can’t kneel properly
-silently bury Dem supplicants

Why do you think GOP facilitator Barry Bush Obama is still braathing?

The Dem fantasy/presumption of GOP Fox Teaparty’s ostensible conscience is a deadly successful fairytale. The power of Fox Terror depends on it. That debate ended 911 re. PNAC Billy Kristol and Dick Cheney’s 1999 PNAC charter statement and Sep 2001 GOP-NSA anthrax mailings pre-Patriot Act “anthrax lab “evidence lost” promptly by GOP-NSA-FBI.

Dem supplicants without memory are far far beneath the nonexistent conscience. Co-opted Dems purvey that “GOP conscience” fantasy.

So, according to E.J. Dionne this morning, Obushba subtly chastized the left for so inappropriately pointing fingers at the gunmen on the knoll.

The avowed purpose of the RW gunslingin’ rhetoric is intimidation of the weak and the timid. Seems to be working quite well.

Green Warrior, I’ve taken up family genealogy research, tried to ween myself off bad news politics. Vitriol is not exclusively the property of the ultra crazies.
