Yes we can’t.

Typical Donohue bigotry — not mobilizing Ceiling Cat worshippers to join his boycott

AlanSF commented on the blog post No Separating Obama From the JOBS Act
As any stock hustler will tell you, you milk the suckers right up to the minute the first SEC filing is due, and then you lock up the office and flee the country. Now, the sucker-milking period will last an astounding five years.
What could possibly go wrong?

AlanSF commented on the blog post Coalition Successful at Getting Corporations to Drop ALEC
State Farm is a highest-level ALEC financial contributor, and its executives are active in key ALEC leadership positions. Ask your agent to be a good neighbor and stop State Farm from destroying our schools, our public services, and our livelihood.

Holy Cow! The whole “Maggie Gallagher” and NOM thing was a conceptual art performance piece by Roseanne Barr!

The current health care system is so bad, it will make Democrats pass single payer. Oh, wait…

we’re going to need a lot of new state workers to attend to protecting these fertilized eggs.
“State workers”? Don’t you mean “private contractors”?

AlanSF commented on the blog post Steny Hoyer’s Push to Ruin Everything
The Republican Party’s decent into full-on moronism has left considerable room for the Democratic Party to triangulate farther right, and it would be naive to expect them to do otherwise.

Now they can get back to focusing on their “Anal Probes if You Want to Collect Unemployment Compensation” bill.

Alas, the true Friedman Unit can never be multiplied, only supplanted, at its expiry, by another Friedman Unit.

AlanSF commented on the blog post GOP Debate: NBC’s Brian Williams Cowers in the Corner
Williams has always been pretty open about being a conservative fanboy. He wasn’t cowering at all — he was just trembling in the presence of so much manly conservitude.

AlanSF commented on the blog post The “Food Stamp Speaker” is Actually Newt Gingrich
It was President Bill Clinton who passed “welfare reform,” not Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Although the fact that Newt Gingrich and the DLC were in perfect accord on this policy should tell us something.

AlanSF commented on the blog post Mitt Romney and the Party of Loss
A good friend of mine was one of the first women admitted to Dartmouth, and from what I hear the resistance to admitting women was tremendous, as well as being particularly frat-boy nasty. It’s no coincidence that a great deal of modern “conservatism” came out of the Dartmouth of those years, including such giants of the conservative intelligentsia as Dinesh D’Souza and Laura Ingraham.

AlanSF commented on the blog post Progressive is the Most Positively Viewed Political Label in America
The Gallup Poll reveals, more than anything else, frighteningly uninformed voters. On a scale of 1-5, Gallup’s put the political center 1.1 points to the right of Barack Obama, and .2 of a point to the left of Ron Paul.

AlanSF commented on the blog post Condoleeza Rice Wants a Do-Over After Destroying Iraq
Of course she understood the basics of her job. Have you ever seen anyone in the Washington/Press establishment criticize her for being wrong and/or completely negligent about everything? Did she leave office with a sterling reputation and a lifetime sinecure? Do leading “Democrats” like Diane Feinstein and Hillary Clinton praise her to the skies?
Job done.

AlanSF commented on the diary post Obama Admin Gives Up Pretense of Competitive Market for ACA Health Insurance Exchanges by Scarecrow.
This change was, of course, designed to address the Republican complaint that states needed flexibility to tailor their insurance benefits, rather than forcing a one-size fits all policy on everyone. This is crucial — people in South Dakota demand not to be covered for cancer, while here in California, we like to pay for our [...]

I believe Lake’s point was that she understood what Obama was thinking — punch the hippies, win independent voters — but that he was wrong to think that was a winning formula.
