Now that a genuinely grassroots movement (not an astroturf creation of Dick Armey) has risen up against Wall Street, the right is lashing out.

Well one thing we learned this weekend is that Freedom of Speech and assembly is available for crazy racists in tri-corner hats, but not those who deign to criticize the multi-millionaires of Wall Street.

I guess there’s a difference between being nervous and being stunned like a trout

The far-right is flipping out over Paul Krugman’s remarks about 9/11 today.

Oh one less budget battle, huz-freaking-zuh!

Like a bunch of happy pigs rolling around in the mud, conservatives are really reveling in their anti-government fanaticism this week. After Marco Rubio (R-FL) explained how the Great Society and New Deal made the United States a nation of weaklings, Ron Paul (R-TX) declared that we don’t need FEMA and that things were like, way better in 1900. But amidst all this crazy, one particularly wingnutty remark stands out.

Did you ever think you’d be nostalgic for the Poppy Bush era, when candidates had acknowledged handlers, and were obvious puppets of their own hired hands? Watching Christine O’Donnell and Goodhair Perry get crazee for the fun of it does that for me. The world of videos going viral has taken over in our political sphere.

I am pleased that Michele Bachmann isn’t going to judge gay people. Presumably she’s also not going to execute them, but let’s get her to rule that out on camera, just to be safe.

This woman is cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs crazy, and the fact that she’s giving Willard a run for his money tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican Party.

Apparently, in the 930 days since Barack Obama became president, the United States has slipped into a dangerous agnosticism, if not outright atheism.
