UPDATED: Mike Castle Joins With Democrats To Call For Larger Federal Role In Insurance Regulation
This is some kind of window dressing or ass covering. Obviously I have been duped by Mike Castle and his staff who are low life lying ass losers.
When I say Castle is a “grown up” I’m talking about stuff like this.

You have to love this new pope…
Rolling back the clock:
The St. Pius X Society is a traditionalist group whose 600 priests and 400,000 adherents represent the far right of the world’s one billion Catholics. It was founded in 1970 by a French archbishop, Marcel Lefebvre, in staunch opposition to the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council, also known as Vatican [...]
Yet another reason why they will fail horrifically
You’d think the money they are spending on lawyers would go to making their cars more fuel efficient….nahhhhh
and at the same time, they want to keep going with their lawsuits, which have already cost millions and millions of dollars.”
I’ve put in a call to the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents all the major automakers, [...]
A Real CBO Report on the Stimulus!
Just don’t tell these guys.
And, as Think Progress notes, even the so-called intellectuals in the conservative room don’t know that there is a real report. According to this, AEI denizen Phil Levy writes a blog post today proudly claiming to be one of the Bad Faith Economists that Krugman has called out recently. [...]
Hey look, Obama get’s it…
Wierd…
“‘This is where I get to be honest, and I hope I’m not out of school here,’ Obama said in a transcript published by JTA, a respected news service on Jewish issues. ‘I think there is a strain within the pro-Israel community that says unless you adopt an unwavering pro-Likud approach to Israel that you’re [...]
Hey look, Voter Fraud…and it’s a GOP guy doin it…

Star Struck Republicans
When I said that news of Obama’s meeting with the Congressional Republicans was going to start to filter out, I was not expecting this:
Republicans are star struck:
A GOP source to TIME’s Jay Newton-Small:
Nearly as many House Republicans sought to get their photos taken with Obama as questioned him about the stimulus during their meeting. [...]
Bank of America…cleverester bank ever
Feel free to listen to the audio of BofA here:
Three days after receiving $25 billion in federal bailout funds, Bank of America Corp. hosted a conference call with conservative activists and business officials to organize opposition to the U.S. labor community’s top legislative priority.

Adam Smith on Government
I think it is amusing (and not at the same time) that the previous administration and conservatives in general HAD latched on to Adam Smith’s Free Market views as the model for our country to thrive upon.

Mike Castle in the Spotlight Today
Reports of Mike Castle and the Rest of the House Republican Caucus’ meeting with President Obama to talk about the economic recovery plan will start to filter out soon.
I wonder if Mike will side with the corrupt to the core Radical Republicans who call the shots in the caucus, or if his apology was sincere [...]
Comment Rescue: El Somnambulo on HB1, Cook and Larson
The following is a public service announcement from El Somnambulo:
Speaking of fiscal notes and Sen. Cook, there is no doubt in the mind of the Beast Who Slumbers that it was Nancy Cook who sought a ‘killer fiscal note’ to derail HB 1.
