The FEC just ruled that Stephen Colbert could go ahead and start his Super PAC.

From CBS:

Colbert, who plays a conservative TV pundit on "The Colbert Report," traveled to Washington to present his case for launching Colbert Super PAC, a type of political action committee that would allow him to raise unlimited amounts of money from corporations, unions and individuals to support or oppose candidates in the 2012 elections through independent expenditures such as TV ads.
"Colbert Super PAC will also pay usual and normal administrative expenses, including but not limited to luxury hotel stays, private jet travel and PAC mementos from Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus," Colbert's lawyers wrote to the commissioners.

"This is not just about the cash," the comedian said during Wednesday night's episode of "The Colbert Report." "I will also accept credit cards."

This should be interesting.

Gotta run out to the store to stock up on Doritos.

Is there a virus in an ad on the front page here?

Sorry to toss this off -- I know it's not diary material, but I figured this was the best way to make this visible quickly...

I think there might be some sort of virus contained in one of the ads on the front page here on Daily Kos. More below....

It has been an emotional time for us. We've suffered eight long years of what surely is the closest thing to The Dark Ages in most of our lifetimes. I'm convinced that we really are on the verge of one of the most important moments in our nation's history. We're about to do what most of us had thought impossible. Soon we will have a decent, brilliant, compassionate, supremely skillful man leading our country. A breath of fresh air, a warm, bright light after a very long, very cold, very dark night. I want this to happen so much, I feel like I'm almost ready to explode - I know many of you feel the same way.

There's a song you should listen to as this amazing day comes. Read on...

There is a word that the Democratic party appears to be utterly terrified of. It's a word that we all know fits the current occupant of the white house, but no leading Democrat seems to be caple of speaking The Word. I'm not afraid of The Word. Read More

Something about the new GOP Majority Leader David Dreier has always bothered me (no, not that - and no, not that either).

No, it was something else, something elusive and really creepy. For some reason, every time his mug appeared on the talking heads shows (which was once almost a daily occurrance), Dreier seemed - well, he just semed disturbingly familiar to me, for reasons I could never quite put my finger on.

Then, as I was watching TV today with all the coverage of The Bug Man's departure, it clicked...during a commercial.

Today my postal mailbox yielded yet another in the endless stream of solicitations from "Friends of Hillary."

Hillary's mailing starts off like so:

"Dear Friend,

Part of my job is being a good listener. Whether it's listening to my colleagues in the Senate, voters back home in New York, or Americans across the country as I work hard for the causes so important to us - like improving access to health care, strengthening the economy, protecting social security and our constitutional rights, and fighting for wiser national and homeland security policies - it's an important part of what I do"

Hillary goes on after the flip.... Read More

I just heard (sunday evening) that the Incompetent-In-Chief has ordered that all flags at US government buildings be lowered to half-mast in honor of Chief Justice Rehnquist's passing.

I have no problem with this symbolic act; it's traditional to do this (even though I won't be shedding any tears for this man, who has done so much to hurt this country).

What I do have a problem with is this...(after the fold)... Read More

Yet another sign of Amerika's rush towards militarism and fascism: Washington DC's historic RFK Stadium (named for Robert F. Kennedy), is to be renamed "Armed Forces Stadium".

Now home to the new DC baseball team, I guess they couldn't have anything named for a great Democrat mentioned so often in the media, and it must have really pissed off the wingnuts to have to go there.

So they've fixed that nagging problem. Read More
