The display of the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee has been a despicable display of ignorance met by overreach and partisan indulgence. It really can’t get any worse than targeting the brilliant firebrand and 20th century Thomas Jefferson, Thurgood Marshall. It seemed to escape Senators Session, Kyl, Grassley and Kornyn that Justice Marshall successfully argued Brown vs....
Governments Moving to Cut Spending, in Echo of... →
The world’s rich countries are now conducting a dangerous experiment. They are repeating an economic policy out of the 1930s — starting to cut spending and raise taxes before a recovery is assured — and hoping today’s situation is different enough to assure a different outcome.
In effect, policy makers are betting that the private sector can make up for the withdrawal of stimulus over the next...

Really crazy interview with future House Majority Leader John Boehner in some thing today. Crazy is to be expected with Orange Face McChucklecheeks, but it seems rare that these people (these people) are ever willing to put their views in print in this way. Key points:
Obama overreacted to the BP oil spill
He declined to list any benchmarks he has for measuring progress in Afghanistan

This is being referred to as a “gaffe”? Sounds more like a goof to me, guy. A goof.

More than 100 House Republicans belong to this group. Barton’s apology may not reflect the sentiments of all GOPers, but it seems to be completely consistent with what the majority of them are saying.
“This means that Boehner has now taken a position that is not that of Rush...”

In his opening remarks, Representative Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, apologized to Mr. Hayward….Mr. Barton called the president’s meeting with the oil company “a tragedy” and “a shakedown.”
….In his opening remarks, Representative John Sullivan….charged that the Obama administration is “focused on the politics of putting the oil and gas industry out of business.”

Merle Savage has a wheezy, guttural smoker’s cough. But the 71-year-old former Alaska resident and author of Silence in the Sound never smoked a day in her life. She did, however, spend four months as a general foreman during the Exxon Valdez oil spill recovery project in 1989. And she has a message for anyone working at the BP oil disaster sites: “You’ve got to use your common sense....

He called it a “$20 billion shakedown.”
Unreal. No taxpayer money for the jobless, but unlimited funds for corporations.
Yay Republicans.
