Closing Bell: Romney In, Trump's Got a Sharpie.

It’s Monday. It’s the fifth anniversary of Romneycare. It’s…kind of a slow news day because, thankfully, Congress is out of session. Healthcare is sooo successful that Democrats in Missouri are breaking from the party and joining up with the law designed to challenge the Constitutionality of Obamacare. Mitt Romney announces the formation of his exploratory... Read more »

Nancy Pelosi And The Congressional Underpants Gnomes

Damn, I love this picture. Pay attention because I’m about to give you a lesson in how to turn temporary setbacks in to permanent political losses. You may not want this lesson, but I don’t care, because it explains why a political junkie like is practically wetting herself with joy at the thought that, despite... Read more »

Kathleen Sebelius: Gear Up Or Get Reeducated

  Every time I think this administration had grasped the modern vernacular, they say something that is so utterly tone deaf I can’t hope to believe it’s true except that it was probably said on national television. This time, though, Joe Biden isn’t accidentlaly referrring to every Dunkin Donuts employee as being from the Asian... Read more »

Rahm Emanuel: Sacrificial Lamb or the Pefect Breakup?

Rahm Emanuel is about to be shown the door of the West Wing and then asked politely that he not allow it to hit his rear end on the way out. The Obama Administration is savagely denying rumors that started in a British publication, that say Rahm is about to quit DC and return to... Read more »

Healthcare: Driving Me To Drink...Tea?

So I am currently deciding whether to go to the Tea Party that’s being held in Daley Plaza on Thursday. I’ve never been to one before. Well, if you don’t count the two times curiosity drove me to pop in on them and the one time I flaked out on speaking at a Tea Party... Read more »

Congress Strips Itself of Health Care (UPDATED)

This is what happens when you don’t read a bill carefully, or, alternatively, let Chuck Grassley hang out with the bill alone in a conference room. The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new...

Repeal Health Care? Errr...Probably Not.

In case you were wondering, Barbara Streisand has a column at Huffington Post. This week, she used it to complain that Republicans did what Republicans are want to do when they are the minority party and that is…be an annoyingly stalwart opposition to the President’s agenda. She goes on for about a thousand words, blissfully... Read more »

Stupak's Vote: A F@#$ing Valuable Thing

Say what you want about Bart Stupak – love him or hate him – the man knows how to work the system. First he convinces millions to support him by claiming to stand by his pro-life principles in the face of certain electoral doom, then he compromises his own commitments in the nick of time...

Pasty Is the New Frugal

The passage of the health care bill meant that Rep. John Boehner lost politically. But it seems he’s also lost personally. Indoor tanning salons will charge customers a 10 percent tax beginning in July in one of the changes Americans will see as a result of the U.S. health-care overhaul signed into law by President...

"Deem and Pass" Deemed Unworthy

Its not particularly hard to lose a messaging war against Republicans. I mean, you aren’t working against the kind of sophisticated public relations machine typically reserved for say, a Kardashian. You’re not even handling a hot potato. If it weren’t for the lucky strike of stumbling into a minority by nominating a candidate who, up... Read more »
