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

Life here in the fallout shelter has been nothing but board games and Beefaroni warmed on the Hibachi — followed by nights trying not to fart too loudly on the cramped cot my wife and I’ve been sharing.

I’ve been having an email exchange with a representative from a group called Freedom Action, who sent out a press release supporting the Boehner plan (unconfirmed reports are beginning to trickle in that Boehner has the votes to get this thing passed). Here’s the text of the original press release: Washington, D.C., August 1, 2011 – Freedom Action supports enactment of the bi-partisan debt ceiling deal reached over the weekend.

From Precious Ezra Klein: Democrats are going to lose this one. The first stage of the emerging deal doesn’t include revenue, doesn’t include stimulus, and lets Republicans pocket a trillion dollars or more in cuts without offering anything to Democrats in return. Isn’t that fun? “Pocketing a trillion dollars” — again, as if these dollars — really 40 cents of which is borrowed — were not created by the sweat

In short, don’t do it. But here’s that same sentiment, dressed up in lots more words: It is a tremendous victory for free market activists that, for the first time in history, the debate over raising the debt limit became a debate over cutting spending. For that, we should be heartened that our efforts are truly making a difference. But we must continue to fight, because this deal is simply
