One of the men pictured does not have his mouth open
What passes for Republican leadership these days is hurt and angry that Sen. Arlen Specter (D – Penn.) got out alive.
Michael Steele: “I hope Arlen Specter’s party change outrages you. …He told us all to go jump in the lake today,” Steele wrote in a [...]

I signed up for updates about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s political action committee — SarahPAC — when it was formed a few months ago. From time to time they’ve come begging for money, but today’s e-mail from info@sarahpac.com was just whack:
Greetings to our friends and supporters!
As you may know, Governor Palin has been facing continuous [...]

Harry, what’s John up to? It sounds crazy.
— Then-candidate Barack Obama, quoted in a new epilogue to Sen. Harry Reid’s autobiography, about Sen. John McCain’s decision to “suspend” his presidential campaign.

It’s getting a little frenzied out there, what with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the State Department making noises about travel bans to Mexico.

Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld demanded that [...]

In 2002, when Dick Cheney was putting together plans for another round of tax cuts for the wealthy, Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill tried to dissuade him, noting that in less than a year the administration had already turned the $400 billion Clinton surplus into a $158 billion deficit.
“I worry that we’re seeing a [...]

Public schools in St. Johns County, Florida have been infiltrated by Christianist radicals from the top of the organization down, leaving the community in an uproar and the school district in federal court.
The trouble started when several teachers at Webster Elementary School in St. Augustine decided this little ditty, “In God We Still Trust” by [...]
