“The fact that one town has three lanes dedicated to it, that kind of gets me sauced.’’

That was Governor Christie in early December.

Yeah, the residents of a city get access to a major Interstate highway? Wassup with dat?

But if the perks available to unworthy Ft. Lee residents get the guv riled up, what must he think of these other injustices?

As I've been reading the recent front-pagers on "Obamacare," I've been feeling increasingly uneasy. Here's the thing:

I'm sorry that the left has adopted the right's Obamacare moniker, which let us not forget is intended as a slur. Yeah, I know, something to be proud of and all that. And yet...

I sorta wish that Obama (and, following his lead, all of "us") had insisted on calling it "Romneycare," which in essence it is, patterned after the successful Massachusetts program inaugurated during Mitten's term as governor.

It would have been delicious to see it presented as a tribute to a worthy, but vanquished foe, a supreme gesture of good sportsmanship, giving credit where credit was due, rather than hogging all the glory for himself.

Not only would it have been a gracious bi-partisan gesture from a magnanimous President, but it would have the added benefit of driving the Republicans bat-shit crazy.

Just sayin'.

Osama Bin Laden is dead, long live Osama!

Don't think that the killing of Bin Laden in Pakistan is going to to put this boogeyman to rest, despite the congratulatory statements of some 2012 Republican candidates (only one of whom, Pawlenty, gave Obama any credit).

I predict the imminent eruption on the Right of a new movement of wackos who will inevitably come to be known as "Deathers".

Their arguments will go something like this:

* If Bin Laden is dead, why hasn't Obama released his long form body?

* Oh yeah, right. Buried at sea according to Islamic principles. That just proves that Obama is a Muslim.

* Until I see Michelle Malkin place her fingers in his wounds, I will not believe.

* Bin Laden can't be dead. It's a well known fact that he will only die when George Bush drives a wooden stake through his heart.

* What took Obama so long? Huh? Bush? Well, he had "other priorities." He wanted to make sure the rich would pay NO taxes before moving on to less pressing matters.

* Pay no attention to the footage on ABC News. Everyone knows how easy it is to fake this sort of think. Hell, we've been watching Fox for years!

** As a Muslim, Obama is only allowed to kill infidels like you and me.

I'm sure you can think of other arguments that will be raised. And that's why God created the comments thread.

The good nuns and the even better Jesuits taught me that when Satan really wanted to mess with your mind he'd appear in saintly garb. Enter Bill Donohue, head of the Catholic League and the kind of Irish Catholic who makes Irish Catholics like me try to pass themselves off as Hindus.

Donohue, in a brilliant display of religious hypocrisy, has ripped into bloggers hired by the John Edwards campaign.

In his "manic concession" speech, using a teeth-grinding metaphor that summoned unpleasant memories of his three-way dead heat for third place, Joe Lieberman said we were only at halftime in this "game."

Halftime, hell! It's only 30 seconds after kickoff. Read More

Well, so much for all that "independent Democrat" nonsense.

Joe Lieberman has formed a new political party, a party of one.

It's called the Lieberman for Lieberman Party of Liebermans Supporting Lieberman Par...ooops, I mean the Connecticut for Lieberman Party.

Why a new party? Because it lets piggy Joe climb a few pitiful lines up on the ballot. According to Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz, the maneuver will place Joe on the fifth line instead of the eighth or ninth.

Or as Joe would probably put it, "I'll be in a statistical dead heat for the fifth line."

Question for State Central: How can Joe remain a Democrat when he now has a party of his own?

It gets curioser and curioser. On the heels of the attack postcard cited by Councilman in a previous thread, comes this letter. It tries to look like a personal letter from Deidra Ierardi in New Britain, but the small print at the bottom reads "Paid for by Friends of Joe Lieberman." Ms. Ierardi is, apparently, a member of the New Britain BOE, although the letter never says so.

The letter is sloppily reproduced with ink smears. Full text, with emphasis added, is below the fold (with emphasis added). Read More

Back in December, Senate Dem Leader Harry Reid had this to say about Joe Lieberman: "I've spoken to Joe Lieberman and he knows he's out there alone. I mean, literally alone. Joe is a fine man, he has strong feelings, but he's just alone. Even Republicans don't agree with Joe."

Now he's letting Joe feel the love. Read and weep. Read More
