Matt Taibbi spells it out for all to see: Obama is in bed with the corporate fatcats who blew up the economy.

republicans seem so intent on 'winning' that they're willing to kill our economy.

I was going to take my kids to the inauguration, and proudly cheer Obama on... but that was before Rick Warren.

In lobbying hard and spending millions of dollars to defeat gay marriage in California, the Church of Latter Day Saints has gone too far.

When it comes to gay rights, Obama's victory is fraught with irony.

Anyone who says they're 'always proud of America' is a liar or a fool. But today, I am terribly proud.

Recently, I received a specious and nasty bit of work via email. It was entitled ‘History 101’ and was full of snarky Republican ‘facts’ that ‘proved’ that all liberals were (to paraphrase): mama’s boys, wimps etc. As a liberal who does martial arts and bow hunts, and can kick ass reasonably well, I took offense to this (though they do have a point: I love to watch the modern dance of the Paul Taylor Dance Company, and I’m fond of arugula). What capped it for me was the 5-year old psychology at the end: basically, if you agree that all liberals are pansy-boys, send it on to your chortling he-man friends. If you don’t agree, and are formulating a response – then you’re a liberal pansy-boy. Oh no! I can’t respond ‘cause my manliness will be called into doubt! What a brilliant tactical move.

Screw that. If you come in contact with ‘History 101’, you may want to respond with my version, or a version of your own. Mine is just as vitriolic and emotional as theirs is. I decided to can my normal ‘objective’ tone and go for the damn jugular.

Enjoy.
