    Given the slimy gawker story leaked about her ( http://gawker.com/5674353/i-had-a-one+night-stand-with-christine-odonnell ) in the campaign muffinhead is probably a bad term

    Hey, not the same thing. This woman isn’t married to a man who contradicted a sitting Vice President’s key fictitious justification for an unjust war

    Excellent letter.

    Of course you realize with global warming, there is even less chance of the cold day in hell required for the Church to write this letter.

    2012-08-25 09:18:25View | Delete

    As Patriotic Americans, it’s time that we all contact his office (akin.org) and tell him to hang in tough. (636) 207-7986

    The Nation needs Honest Men who courageously articulate Republican Party beliefs and goals.

    Especially Women. We need a clarifying spokesman like Akin.

    msobel commented on the blog post Reid Not Backing Down on Romney Tax Return Issue

    2012-08-07 14:59:51View | Delete

    I think the real situation is there are a lot of higher ups in the know, in just for instance: the McCain campaign, the Mormon leadership, and Bain. I suspect that a lot of people in the Republican leadership and in Washington know also and that probably includes Harry Reid. I suspect that Reid is furious that it looks like Romney is going to get away with it. He also probably gets important people calling him complaining about how the asshole they all know is getting away with it. Reid decided to take one person complaining about it public.

    All this is supposition but consistent with the known facts.

    To quote a Republican friendly operative, It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

    msobel commented on the diary post The Chicago White Sox Sunday Defeat Sent Stock Market Tumbling: It Wasn’t the Debt Downgrade by Dean Baker.

    2011-08-11 12:24:05View | Delete

    On the Irony isn’t dead frontier, the stock market and treasury market showed that the Literal Market Fundamentalists are right, they know bullshit when they see it. In spite of Europe and the White Sox, the market held off crashing while there was theoretically a chance to avoid an all out bi-partisan embrace of Austerity. [...]

    I want to suggest a change of style for your writing. With respect.

    If you could either at the beginning or at the end provide a summary of your conclusions, it would make it easier to understand without wading through the quotes.

    In other words, you make a point and then prove it with quotes, perhaps, allowing a trusting reader to read the exec summary.

    Try taking this piece and repeat all the quote summaries at the top.

    Thanks, read you every day but some times I don’t have time for the details. Mercy Marcy

    Then there is the new Chase currency innovations

    You silly person.

    “Maybe now that we’ve established the principle that people should go to jail for lying like this, we can finally send a bankster to jail? ”

    What case law (which has passed review by the Roberts court) allows a TBTF Bankster to go to jail for a felony ?

    I thought I had already commented but I don’t read Keller, as a life long Times reader, reading him is real “enhanced interrogation”.

    Teabagging logic

    About 350,000 children born in the U.S. in 2009 had at least one undocumented parent, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group in Washington, D.C. About 8 percent of all children born in the U.S. from March 2009 to March 2010 had undocumented parents, according to the center.

    So hypothetical: Dope crazed (aren’t they all) alien rapes white blond cheerleader who is forced to carry resulting baby who is deported on birth ?

    But how will the Democrats motivate their base ? How about punching some hippies, recruiting Blue Dogs, cutting Social Security and cutting taxes for the rich some more ?

    You libruls apparently don’t believe in Equal Justice Under Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_justice_under_law). The GOP are obviously successfully doing to this young lady what they are trying to do to all the government workers (and the Senator’s marriage vows. )

    With her, it’s just compensated.

    2011-03-14 10:51:11View | Delete

    Why doesn’t on of the numerous Left Wing Koch Heads start a “grassroots” website called I don’t know, “American Labels” to push Sarah Palin as an independent from the Republican sellouts who should run her own campaign.

    Because
    1) we aren’t cynical enough
    2) there aren’t numerous Left Wing Koch Heads
