No shit? Wow. Who could have ever seen that coming. Not Bill Kristol, or Jpod, or Jen Jen, or Dr Krauthammer, that’s for sure. But that’s okay: they get to “represent” conservative thought whether we’re in power or out, whether their counsel proves effective or not. Accountability? That’s just a word we throw around when we’re trying to lure bitterclingers in flyover country to buy them some subscriptions. And besides,

We TEA Party supporters didn’t “win” dick. Because we only win when the country and its citizenry win, and adding an additional $2.6 Trillion or so in debt with the promise of adding new government “revenue enhancement” legislation — all in exchange for distant reductions in the rate of spending on money we already don’t have — is not a win. Have we “changed the conversation” in Washington? Who cares.

In which protein wisdom responds to Maureen Dowd, whose aged bleached squeakhole is in quite a pucker. Writes Dowd, of the Tea Party types who just refuse to let alone the self-appointed elites so that they can rule us like God Nietzsche intended: They were like cannibals, eating their own party and leaders alive. They were like vampires, draining the country’s reputation, credit rating and compassion. They were like zombies,

Rep Mack to the insufferable, twee Piers Morgan, (who, as a sober, balanced journalist, asserted that Sarah Palin was an accomplice in the shooting of Gabby Giffords, and once compared Tea Party supporters to Nazis and fascists, confused, evidently, about who it is who calls for a civilian defense force, or who has nationalized student loans, healthcare, a couple car companies, and keeps Jeff Immelt on speed dial): “You’re making

I need to get the bend to 40-degrees for it to count, but for a first ever try it wasn’t too shabby, I don’t think. My technique was pretty terrible — I went back and watched a pro strongman do it correctly after I tried it on a whim — so I’ve got a lot of room for improvement there that I think will make a big difference. Plus, I

Love and Rockets, re-working the Temptations, embedded here post post-ironically by yours truly, who believes he’s making a statement of some sort.

You’re no longer a member of the Republican Party. And if feels fucking awesome.

We need more shovel ready jobs to get the folks back to work — which is why the government needs more revenue to create more shovel ready jobs. And the kinds of enormous cuts I just directed Congress to make — the biggest cuts in history! — cannot alone balance the budget or create a healthy economy. We need a balanced approach. Which includes fixing the loopholes in the tax

Not only did the Boehner/Obama/Reid/McConnell Secretly-Negotiated-Deal-To-Save-The-Country-From-Fiscal-Ruin, you know, save the country from fiscal ruin, but it also showed us all how serious, sober, realist establishment pragmatism works — that, when necessary, it is good and moral and righteous to break a pledge or promise, because if you are chained to your principles, you might not be able to do the hard work of preventing a catastrophic default! Remember that when

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com We simply can’t allow this nutjob to come to power as a national figure. I mean, Jesus: she actually seems to believe in some of the things she says. Not only that, but what if her closeted queer husband gets his hands on any of the male White House decorators? Pretty soon it’ll be nothing but wood paneling and mounted moose heads in the
