It’s time to be lied to
Tired of hearing the grim truth about their economic future, Americans demanded that the bald-faced lies resume immediately, particularly whenever politicians feel the need to divulge another terrifying problem with Wall Street, the housing market, or any one of a hundred other ticking time bombs everyone was better off not knowing about.
In addition, citizens are [...]

Deep Swine Flu Thought
1) Thank God Barack Obama is the President and not some idiot Republican.
2) As the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) takes steps to deal with this crisis, the DHHS cabinet secretary confirmation is being held up by Republican abortion ideologues.
Thanks Republicans!
A View From The Lofty Perch of Sanity
The Wilmington Delaware Riverfront was host to one of the four “TEA” Parties going on in the state. It was nothing more than a two and a half hour therapy session that had Republican speaker after Republican speaker yap and complain about spending, socialism and pork. One after another they proved they know [...]

Teabagging Day! Bet They Wish They Had Thought of Loose Tea
Now, it is also Tax Day, so make sure that you have completed your Taxes and sent them in before you get involved with any Teabagging activities. Somehow I don’t think that the IRS will take your Teabagging Events as a serious reason to not file. So here we go:
This is what these guys are [...]
President Obama’s Rather Remarkable Address
I’ve been trying to think of what to say about Barack Obama’s economic speech today and have decided not to say anything except to tell you all to read it. The whole thing. Even though it’s long. It is not inspiring, except for the fact that the President of the United States is speaking to [...]

Countdown — One More Day Until the World’s Biggest Teabagging
One more day until the big event — and one more day to ponder the sheer hypocrisy of these tea party events. One of the things I notice over the past week or ten days is how fast the folks trying to put this on are trying to re-spin the purpose of this thing. They [...]

Monday’s Open Thread
Today’s a traveling day for me, but if you’re looking for inspiration check out DV’s imagine if you changed one word post here, DelawareDem’s posts and insightful analysis here and here, ‘Bulo’s whale of a tale here as well as his thought provoking post about Lincoln, and Jason’s Republicans are the butt of the joke [...]

Sunday’s Open Thread
The Obamas get a dog and the newspapers write the obligatory “pet” articles.
Pastor Warren is too exhausted to talk. Hey, maybe miracles really do happen!
And it’s really a good thing we don’t have big problems or we wouldn’t have time to worry about important things.
Meanwhile, Dobson admits defeat in the culture wars.
Have at it!
Walking the Walk: Feds to Purchase Fuel-Efficient Cars from U. S. Companies
‘Bulo hates to link to the charlatans at CNBC, but that’s where he found this story.
Granted, it’s a small drop in the bucket, and granted, in some ways, it’s a symbolic gesture, but still this policy provides legitimate assistance to the auto companies, reduces gasoline consumption, and sets an example for people to buy fuel-efficient [...]
My Response II
Dave continues to deny that his rhetoric has downstream consequences. My response to his response is here in case anyone wants to comment, but would rather not have to deal with DelawarePolitics.
Dave,
You made a choice when you posted the on the “sovereignty” issue. You chose to be a part of a right-wing fear mongering [...]
“Dear Michelle: Your Garden Is Missing One Vital Component. Pesticides.”
Some things El Somnambulo cannot make up. Those poor benighted souls at the Mid America CropLife Association want everyone to know that veggies w/o pesticides are like…Claymont w/o metallic soot. Or something like that.
Their ‘ambassadors’ (that’s what they call themselves) have written, and are urging all ambassadors to write Michelle Obama to show her the [...]
Deep Media Strategy Thought
President Obama and every single Democrat who is ever on TV or quoted in the newspaper for the next 20 years should work this sentence into every interview, “We all know that the media has a very conservative bias.”
Keep keep saying that for 20 years day in and day out.
The evidence shows that empty headed [...]
Wanna Get Depressed?
Read the last 15 or so posts at Eschaton about the Obama administration’s new plan to throw ever more money in the money furnace.
They are short.
Krugman:
This plan will produce big gains for banks that didn’t actually need any help; it will, however, do little to reassure the public about banks that are [...]
Just when we thought he was gone…
So long as there is a man named George W. Bush, there will be Bushisms:
“I’m going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there’s an authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened.”
Freudian slip much, Mr. former President.
Proof Elections Matter: Obama to Improve Food Safety
In the Potemkin Village government of Dubya, there was, for all intents, no protection of the public’s food supply.
That will change, and change soon, according to this article in today’s Washington Post.
In his Saturday morning address:
President Obama announced new leadership and other changes today aimed at improving the safety of the U.S. food supply, declaring [...]
Obama’s Geithner Problem
Any regular reader of Eschaton can tell you that the only way we can get out of this economic mudslide it to pre-privatize the banks. Normal economic activity can not return unless the bad asset ticking time bombs are all defused.
They could also tell you that Geithner is dedicated to bullshitting around the margins [...]
Breaking: Mike Castle Slams Obama Speech
This morning Mike Castle slammed President Obama’s address to a joint session of congress saying that Obama has created a “mystical fund” to save banks.
The GOP loyalists stopped short of calling President Obama’s remarks the ravings of an economic “witch doctor” but it was clear that Castle has signed up to be a part [...]
Don’t Let ‘Em Play the ‘Class Warfare’ Card
Rethugs, many trained by Newt Gingrich, have mastered the art of Orwellian double-speak. ‘Death Tax’, ‘Reaganomics’, and the like. They have used these terms in large part to turn the tax code on its head through Kemp/Roth and the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy while misleading the public with verbal sleight-of-hand.
President Obama, starting tonight, [...]
The Goofs and Oddball’s Party
One Republican claims that we are running out of rich people in this country.
Another says that Justice Ginsberg is going to die in 9 months.
Still another says that President Obama is not an American citizen.
These are not empty headed wingnut talk show hosts like Rick Jensen. They are empty-headed Republican elected officials.
There is a [...]
Proof Elections Matter: Obama Dumps Bush LGBT Policy
Under Dubya, the US proudly joined the Vatican, aka the Holy See (…No Evil from Holocaust Deniers & Pedophile Priests), and the Islamic world in opposing the universal decriminalization of homosexuality.
Cowards that they are, Bush’s henchpersons cited ‘technical issues’ in voting against a non-binding UN Resolution.
Thanks to Obama, that opposition is no longer operative.
In a [...]
Day 21: Mike Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware
El Somnambulo is proud to present 1,577,219,319 reasons why Mike Castle has betrayed the public trust and has dishonored both his office and himself.
In his Rosemary Woods-like contortions to explain away his vote against President Obama’s economic stimulus package, Castle somehow never got around to explaining how Delaware and its citizens would benefit from the [...]
Debunking a Conservative Meme
The honorable John Feroce posted a picture today which he got from Glenn Beck. The picture shows a bookshelf with Obama-themed children’s books with a large sign above it saying “Religion”
It seemed bizarre to me, so I started doing some research. Apparently there are at least two versions of this picture on the Internet. One, [...]
