You’ll note I’m a long term Kos follower, but I very rarely post (last time was 2012, I guess!).

I’ve been watching Apricot Pol Pot, waiting to see when his big mouth, and tiny brain and hands, will force people to turn a corner against him. Though not enough Republicans have come out about his false equivocations, I noticed Florida Governor Skeletor has even condemned White Supremacist sentiment. This, above all else, tells me that perhaps the corner has actually been turned. When that corrupt Tea Party maniac starts to support what should be a given, and we are all like, OMG that’s a surprise, you know that corners must have been turned.

Thoughts?

EDIT: What signs do you see telling you the same? The business council resigning en masse? The Republican guy on Crocx Spews who broke down live during an interview?

Just lost my job: now what?

Hi,

So, my annual contract did not get renewed. I have a mortgage, car payments, student debt. There's no way I can survive more than four months on my savings, retirement, etc. I stand to lose everything.

Outside of the initial shock, I'm looking for work, and I SHOULD land something, but I need to know how to avoid the worst case scenario. It's pretty scary.

I'm here in Florida. Ideas or advice is welcome.

I'm sorry, but I've had enough bullshit...we are all in this tizzy about President Olympia Snowe, the public option, our useless blood sucking wars, the fact that we have a 9/11 in uninsured healthcare deaths happen every 45 days or so...and OH ALAN GRAYSON HOW WONDERFUL...

The American Family Association, bastion of family values, sent out this ACTION ALERT (yes, I subscribe, and I bet a ton of other Kossacks do, too):

Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) continues its pattern of pushing pornographic-themed material into mainstream America. Abercrombie & Fitch has just begun offering their "New College" line of T-shirts.

Hi all,

We are looking at two years of a large majority in the Senate, right? Now, I'm not a wonk by any means at all...I just want to see things change in this country. Howard Dean brought me to this blog, Howard Dean is one of the great heroes of the 2008 turnaround...but what of 2010?

I don't think two years is very long and I want to know NOW what's gonna happen. Follow me below the fold for more silly conjecture.

My friends, John McCain is in trouble!! He won't look his adversary in the eye. His adversary has a bracelet, too. People aren't seeing that his adversary just doesn't get it. Most of all though, his runner-up Miss Alas...um...his Vice Presidential running mate, Sarah Palin, has been...um...less than pleasin' to his base. Let's go below the fold to see if we can help John out of this debacle!!
