HBO’s Bill Maher:
“A search of the suspected Craigslist killer’s home today by investigators yielded some restraints, firearms, and duct tape – or what police like to call ‘Phil Spector’s earthquake kit.’”
“We have an extraordinary political opportunity here,” said the always-puffed-up MSNBC host Ed Schultz to his guest, Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, the most progressive guy in the Senate by a wide margin.
Schultz was pushing, as Sanders is, a single-payer national health plan, which would do away with the parasitic insurance companies. Big Ed says [...]
David Waldman of The Daily Kos has a great idea today — tell the Republic party to seat Al Franken in Minnesota or we keep Sen. Arlen “Party Switcher” Specter’s coveted committee seats. Waldman:
“Seat Al Franken and give him his committee assignments now, or we’ll block a new organizing resolution that would let you reassign [...]
Red-baiting (or Socialist-baiting) is so…1954…
Rep. Spencer “Whine, Whine, Whine” Bachus (R-Ala.) has stated that “some of the men and women I work with in Congress are socialists.”
Bachus says he has already counted 17 of them but that there may be more. The horror!
He hasn’t named any of them. If he did, maybe we [...]
The cops SAID it was trespassing, but you have to wonder…
Now, don’t get me wrong…Democratic Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey (a one-time welfare mom, from Petaluma, Ca.) is no weasel. In fact, she was my Congressperson for years and granted me interviews. I agree with most of her views. She means well.

“Bonds spent about 45 minutes in the Giants’ clubhouse before the game chatting with players and hanging in clubhouse manager Mike Murphy’s office with Willie Mays and Willie McCovey.
Lisa Nitta, his publicist, said Bonds actually met the [...]
I can just imagine the misspelled, venomous Comments my new Huffington Post story on right-wing talk radio’s worst-than-deplorable Michael “Weenie Boy” Savage are going to attact. I’ll try to run a few lowlights here in the next few days. Weenie and I go way back.
For sale at right-wing radio pit bull Michael Savage’s web site:
“I’d Rather Be Waterboarding.”
The poor widdle broadcast networks are having a hissy-fit because they have to give up May sweeps prime time (we’d hate to miss “According to Jim”) to run the President’s speech on his first 100 days Wednesday night. Poor babies…
My guess: Fox will probably dump the address on Fox News — so that Karl Rove [...]
NYTimes columnist/economist Paul Krugman, in his worthy piece today about skyrocketing salaries (yes, again) at the disgraced investment banks:
“One can argue that it’s necessary to rescue Wall Street to protect the economy as a whole — and in fact I agree. But given all that taxpayer money on the line, financial firms should be acting [...]
