“The Civil War isn’t tragic.” So says Ta-Nehisi Coates. He also says: It’s really simple for me. One group of Americans attempted to raise a country on property in Negroes. Another group of Americans, many of them Negroes themselves, stopped them. As surely as we lack the ability to see tragedy in violently throwing off [...]
My reaction to the death of Osama bin Laden was recorded as a comment on the Facebook page of my niece. ”They say you should only speak good of the dead. Osama bin Laden is dead. Good.” Dailykos has reactions from 2012 GOP presidential hopefuls. The most statesmanlike of the bunch? Trump. “I want to [...]
John Stossel is a douchebag. This is a ‘debate’ between Ron Paul and a black guy who looks and acts like President Obama.

Krugman nails it. By the way, Heritage is always like this. Whenever there’s something the G.O.P. doesn’t like — say, environmental protection — Heritage can be counted on to produce a report, based on no economic model anyone else recognizes, claiming that this policy would cause huge job losses.

Wonkette says what needs to be said. Fat prick Chris Christie loves “mob humor,” which is why he suggested voters “take the bat” to 76-year-old New Jersey state Sen. Loretta Weinberg.
