Rep. Paul Ryan's take on the Wisconsin governor's attempts to roll back union rights of state workers in Wisconsin.

Yes....unions= angry brown people who rape innocent blonde reporters (because in the words Debbie Shlussel, "That's Islam")

As if that's the most disgusting thing Ryan said...

States across the country are facing dire budget deficits.

Next week the federal budget will be released with a provision that will be a lifeline to struggling states. The only question is will republicans allow their states to drown in debt or will they come back to reality and take responibility?

INT: Reception area in a capitol hill Senator's office. While the receptionsit obliviously chats on the phone we see four men; professional, impeccably dressed in silk suits huddling in a corner of the office whispering furiously as they appear to be hashing out the final details to an impending showdown.

Suddenly, the receptionship speaks to the four men....

RECEPTIONIST: The senator will see you now..

So here I sit at my computer while being attacked by two four year olds. I tried to watch the Health Care Bill signing ceremony, but my daughter insisted I watch her dance instead. I am home because I once worked for a firm called "Lehman Brothers". I have been out of work for 11 months.

I am watching my friends kid because she had to fly to Alabama to find out if her brother was going to either die or lose his leg due to a staff infection that he never had checked out because...you guessed it...he has no insurance. He has a wife of course...and three children...but you know the drill...three kids, she quit her job to take care of the kids, gave up her insurance, etc etc.

This is reality.

You think that's hyperbole? You think I may be reading too much into his speech at the Republican Senate-House fundraising dinner? Well follow me beneath the fold to analyze his speech.

Apologies for the brief diary but I simply need to know what the answer would be from certain prominent Republicans who have vociferously publicly advocated for "enhanced interrogation techniques" to one simple question....

The Jack Bauer/ticking time-bomb/straw-man argument has actually arrived. But the question is; Will Republicans have the courage to call for the use of the techniques they swear will save American lives?........Will they have the courage to call for these techniques to be used on Scott Roeder?

I read your op-ed posted in the New York Times this morning. It has really created quite the stir. I must admit that at first I really saw through the media/ congressional spin and felt your pain, understood your disillusionment and agreed with your conclusions.

You see I too work in the investment banking world and have suffered accordingly. I worked for Lehman Brothers and felt betrayed, lied to and disrespected. When I read your editorial, I thought I saw someone who was actually speaking up for the people like me that were caught in the gears of this grand ponzi-esque scheme; people who work in other capacities supporting the business' you ran who don't make nearly a fraction of your salary, who had just as much to lose, just as many obligations; children, mortgages and 401k's as you. However, upon some deeper reflection, I have decided that you are very, very wrong.

If I could speak to you in person, my first comment to you would be, "Get off the cross, we need the wood".

PLEASE let me preface with my hope is that Obama will make it right for the LGBT community. I TOTALLY understand the rage and feeling of betrayal and am not sure how I would react. I was shocked, angry and felt betrayed myself but clearly to a lesser degree as I am not gay and this ridiculous proposition 8 crap is not a direct assault on my marriage.

Please bear with me..

On it's face the pick seems like pandering to the far-right but a closer analysis shows me otherwise...

Obama essentially stole the reigns from the evangelical christian conservative movement and chose their leader for them. HE CHOSE the new face of evangelism; Not Dobson, not Falwell-- but OBAMA chose a self "professed" evangelical moderate...

Some very positive news regarding the Bush Administration's 11th hour attempts to push through and finalize many of their disastrous energy and environmental regulations.

And whom do we have to thank for this good news?

President Smarty Pants 1.0, Bill Clinton (whose stock has rebounded significantly for me). He had the critical foresight to set up a loophole just in case something like this happened...

It is a known known who Jake Tapper is at heart. Someone in his position who writes political commentary and analysis daily will eventually and inevitably show who they really are; where their allegiances lie. It is true of both left and right. Mr. Tapper has shown his deep red leanings long before now, but Jesus!!!

Mr. Tapper has quite literally crossed the rubicon of decency and hyperbole. In a very sparsely worded "observation", a "Chopin-esque" display of wing-nuttery if you will (on election day no less), Mr. T shows he is a foo and I pity him...

In 2004 when Kerry was slightly up in the polls against Bush, right around this time, a couple of weeks out, pundits and MSM anchors could be heard asking ad nauseum:

"SO...... WILL there be an October surprise?" IF there IS an October surprise....WHAT on earth could it be???"

I remember hearing this for at least two weeks before election day. I remember because it was Driving. Me. NUTS.

Then suddenly..four days before the election...(cue ominous music)a Bin Laden tape emerges, it was played over and over again.. statements were made by each campaign..and suddennly there was a collective gasp around the nation and a hushed reverence and nationwide chill ran up the entire electorate's spine, and no one EVER AGAIN uttered the words "October Surprise"..

A couple of weeks ago, we all read about how Stuart Sheperd of Focus on the family was asking it's members to :"pray for rain"
on the night of Obama's nomination...

We all know how good ol' Stu back-tracked and said it was meant to be "mildly humorous".

Well, Stu? All of those earnest, moralistic, sincere Christians that were "joke-praying" apparently were heard...
