Al Gore has seized upon news of the Myanmar cyclone, claiming that this destructive storm was a consequence of global warming.
“And as we’re talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated,” […]

Mitt Romney’s sparkling performance at the 64th Annual Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner is no fluke.
Apparently, he also stole the show at a similarly humor-themed St. Patrick’s Day event in Boston a few years ago. The St. Patrick’s Day tradition includes the “craic” breakfast, where politicians and celebrities crack jokes about each other in a […]

New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer Linked to Prostitution Ring
BTW, shortly it broke the news of the scandal, the New York Times endorsed Spitzer for President.

her remarks make me wonder why she is wasting her gigantic brain as an actress. she needs to be employed in a thinking profession:
Oscar winner Marion Cotillard raised eyebrows around the world Saturday when it emerged that she doubted the official account of the 9/11 attacks.
“I think we’re lied to about a number of things,” […]

So says The Nation.
Compare the outpouring of affection and respect for John Edwards with the snark and abuse offered Kucinich when they each bowed out of the presidential race last month.
…on almost every issue that John Edwards battled hard on in 2007, helping move Obama and Clinton closer to the light, it’s indisputable that Dennis […]

Watching Ron Paul attempt to explain why he won’t debate his primary election opponent for his congressional seat.

Chris Matthews humiliates Obama’s supporter, then Hillary’s gal says that Clinton has “legislative accomplishments all across the world”, and then uber-liberal unbiased Keith Olbermann cross examines Matthews.

 
As to Olbermann’s point, off the top of my head I can think of a bunch of stuff that the Senate has done in the past seven years: […]

on the way home today, i stopped to grab some flowers for my special someone. i had to laugh at the scene. try to picture it: grocery store […]

It does not look good.
Although Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) himself opposes retroactive immunity, he struck a deal with the two committee chairmen to hold a vote first on the intelligence committee’s version, and then have a vote on Leahy’s version as an amendment. Civil liberty advocates say that move slants the debate in […]

reminds me of an old prank from the college days. my accomplices and i used to use “grandma voice.”

I concur.
Up until now, if you had been reading reddit and other social media sites fairly regularly you would have thought that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul was the second coming. He had a ton of online exposure, support, and young followers. We even wrote about the “Ron Paul effect” on numerous occasions. After being […]

And summarize a lot of my thoughts on the Paul/racism/Political Report kerfuffle.
Yet those new supporters, many of whom are first encountering libertarian ideas through the Ron Paul Revolution, deserve a far more frank explanation than the campaign has as yet provided of how their candidate’s name ended up atop so many ugly words. Ron Paul […]

Lisa Schiffren expresses what a lot of us feel re: Mike Huckabee.
What do you think God’s standard is on anchor babies and birthright citizenship? (Manger!) Does Huckabee’s God believe in borders? What is God’s monetary policy? Is Jesus a capitalist? How much economic disparity will he tolerate? Wouldn’t God want us all to have health […]
