Terrell Owens rounding up support for Michael Vick on Twitter
I love this story. Clearly Owens wants someone playing the first six games more hated than Terrell Ownes.

Comment Rescue: What About Protack?
Geezer says Protack still thinks he’s elected-official material.
But is that true? Protack has progressed from postings that are merely strange to postings that are incomprehensible non sequiturs. He’s burned more bridges than the retreating Germans and the mainline Republicans would not lift a finger to help him win the post of dog [...]
Brilliant
We are going to make them own the Birthers or risk their wrath:
[Rep. Neil Abercrombie's] resolution’s main purpose will be to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood. And while commemorating that grand history, the resolution will of course mention how the state is Obama’s birthplace.
This gives Republicans a choice: Vote yes on the resolution, [...]
Matt Denn Wins Major Court Victory Over Insurance Co’s
Denn continues to impress:
After the legislature passed its medical fee schedule legislation there was a $14 million pot of savings suddenly created. Denn issued a ruling in December, 2008 that the savings had to be returned to worker’s comp policy holders. The Insurance companies threatened to sue, Denn said [...]
Polly Running Scared ?
Maria at DelawarePolitics reports that Polly Adams has said yes to Thursday’s Sussex League of Women Voter’s forum.
It is easy to get the impression that the SC Dems felt Polly could pull the “special election glide” into office without disclosing what she thinks about the issues. She still may be [...]
Caesar Rodney Institute an Honest Broker? We Report–You Decide
PART ONE:
The Caesar Rodney Institute, aided and abetted by the usual suspects like David Burris, has been working overtime to portray itself as some sort of non-partisan good government honest broker. Kinda like Common Cause or the League of Women Voters. Do the facts warrant this narrative? Let’s take a closer look.
In its mission statement, [...]
What Do The Blue Dogs Want?
Paul Krugman lays it out.
So what are the objections of the Blue Dogs?
Well, they talk a lot about fiscal responsibility, which basically boils down to worrying about the cost of those subsidies. And it’s tempting to stop right there, and cry foul. After all, where were those concerns about fiscal responsibility back in 2001, when [...]
How About It Republicans?
E.J. Dionne has a question for 2nd amendment-loving politicians: (h/t Washington Monthly)
I’ve been studying the deep thoughts of senators who regularly express their undying loyalty to the National Rifle Association, and I have decided that they should practice what they preach. They tell us that the best defense against crime is an armed citizenry and [...]
QFM
Question for Monday:
Should the Army be used to arrest US Citizens?
Why shouldn’t the Army be used to arrest US Citizens?
Tommywonk Explains Birther Nutbaggery to the Brits
Writing for The Guardian, Tom lays out the facts and caps his piece with this fine analysis:
The episode neatly encapsulates the dilemma of the Republican party. Castle could be the party’s best shot at taking a Senate seat next year – if he chooses to run. But he has drawn the [...]
Pssst….Republican Commenters, We get It. Honest we do.
Conservatives,
If you want to comment here, do me a favor and think about what you are about to type. There is no need to repeat basic GOP talking points. For example, don’t tell us that Bill Clinton got a blow job and that Clinton’s infidelity exculpates every Republican adulterer forever. [...]

Deep thought/QOTE
If Unions are the Devil and we railed against the UAW making (not true) $70 an hour, how come we aren’t railing against that other union that is protecting their workers by keeping demand high and supply low. Their workers are definitely making a few hundred thousand and up to a few million a year? [...]

First Uncle Thurm … Now Aunt Polly?
Jason and I have endorsed the Libertarian candidate Wendy Jones in this race for good reason. Because Polly Adams Mervine shows that the apple does not fall far from the tree. She and her husband are disgusting bigots and it is long past time that we rid our Democratic Party of such filth. We Democrats stand for equality for all, and it is quite clear that Polly Adams Mervine and her husband (whomever is the candidate here, since I can no longer tell) do not.

News Journal Belatedly Addresses The Birthers
Cross-posted at Daily Kos.
The News Journal has been pretty late in the game in discussing what happened in Georgetown with Mike Castle and the birthers, but they have an article in today’s paper about the incident. The thrust of the article is about the distorting effect of the YouTube age, but it does [...]

Read All About It in the Sunday Papers-Non You-Know-Who Edition
Since others are covering a certain landmark in the History of Narcissism today, the only narcissism running rampant here will be that of El Somnambulo, the Ne Plus Ultra (remember, kids, the universally-beloved ‘bulo is both multi-lingual and a master of cunning linguistics) of Masked Bloggers. As such, there is no lead story today, b/c [...]

Happy Sarah Palin Day!
Dear Sarah,
As you step down as Governor of Alaska and into punditry, I wanted to thank you for destroying John McCain’s chances of beating Barrack Obama. I will always love you for that. I hope you can keep “bringing the crazy” and make the entire Republican party radio-active to the [...]
