“Americans for Tax Reform’s Ryan Ellis Thinks Tea Party Activists Are ‘Freaking Retarded'”

— Which, I’m not sure if that’s a step up from suggesting Ted Cruz is a traitor or not. How much do you wanna bet this is the kind of guy who, if he’s willing to say this kind of thing on Twitter — while working for an organization whose most important figure is an apologist for Muslim extremism, and whose most important achievement has been getting politicians to sign

Orrin Hatch (who ran hard right) now thinks you odd teabaggers need to be “rehabilitated”

Hatch was always good on judicial nominations. But he now fancies himself an indispensable elder statesman whom the Senate can’t function properly without. In other words, a professional politician who we need to help filter out the “people” from the important position of governing. It’s one to have to grovel to these zealots every 6 years when they make up the base of the party and you require their support

“Obama had said I could keep my doctor. Now they’re doing away with my doctor. They kicked him out!” [Darleen Click]

ObamaCare’s gutting of Medicare Advantage marches on Elderly New Yorkers are in a panic after getting notices that insurance companies are booting their doctors from the Medicare Advantage program as a result of the shifting medical landscape under ObamaCare. That leaves patients with unenviable choices: keep the same insurance plan and find another doctor, pay out of pocket or look for another plan where their physician is a member. New

Happy 1 and 1/2 birthday, Tanner!

Here’s a birthday haiku written especially for you, dear son: Sure, you owe over A hundred grand. But not if the country folds! Happy birthday, buddy. Enjoy the cake, the Bowie Knife, and the kiddie crossbow!

The other day, I Tweeted out the following:

I’m paraphrasing here, but the gist is the same:  RUMOR: Bob Costas to argue at future Cowboys/Redskins games that any takeaway by the Cowboys is illegitimate and that ball needs be returned to its rightful owners. This of course was a joke.  Whereas this?  This isn’t. Which makes it a punchline all its own. (h/t Darleen, who asks if there is anything more humorless than a leftist?  And the answer

“Meanwhile, the DOJ’s War on School Vouchers Continues”

You see, it’s all about avoiding segregation, this fight against vouchers.  And it doesn’t matter whether minorities are trapped in failing schools:  what matters are the Crayola optics.  And maintaining the illusion of systemic racism. It’s enough to make me spit. These people — who lay claim to being “progressive” — care nothing about children, or even education per se.   They care about teacher’s unions and maintaining control over their

Colorado Governor Hickenlooper vows to pretend to listen to hicks outside Denver/Boulder

Which, shouldn’t that be good enough for these yokel dumbfucks? Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday vowed to listen more to the concerns of Weld County and other northern communities, but his attempt to offer an olive branch of sorts fell on a great deal of scorched earth. During a town-hall-style meeting with about 30 local and elected officials at the University of Northern Colorado, Hickenlooper said he would visit the

Obamacare: a graphic depiction

To schedule a death panel appointment, please remain on the line.  Who knows?  Maybe you’ll die in the mean time!

Democrats want delay that TEA Party extremists previously offered them

Only, I guess they wanted to shut down the government first, hassle some vets, close some parks, then let timid GOP establishment types run from the fight, disavow those “wacko birds” in their ranks who led it, and position themselves politically not as the Party that saved some Americans — at least temporarily — from the debacle that ObamaCare has already shown itself to be.  This, we were told, was

My second brief run-in with the Obamacare enrollment system

me:  “Hi.   You may not remember me, but I called the other day to try to get some information about the exchanges –” 800 number:  “– that wasn’t me.” me:  “Well, I understand you probably don’t remember — I mean, volumes have been high, and all the glitches have probably made your job very difficult — but I did call –” 800 number:  “– ‘glitches‘?  Sir, I’ll have you know
