Mr Roberts writes a pretty good column as well. While I don’t agree with everything he says, he has some very interesting opinions. Thanks for the heads up about the interview. :)

Hats off to you for the early AM Ren and Stimpy reference. That made me smile. :) – It’s a shame about the eye-bleedingly bad President though…

sarayakat commented on the diary post In Blacklisting of Labor Reporter Mike Elk, the Huffington Post Turns Its Back on Genuine Progressive Journalism by Daniel Marans.
Have you seen the Huffpo lately? It’s mostly gossip and apologists at this point. As aacme said “hand-wringing liberalism”. Tabloid trash is what I call it. Sometimes I find myself missing 2006 when Dkos and HP were great places to go for news and insightful analysis…Truly, the rise of the Democratic party has coincided with [...]

The gunman “fired indiscriminately”, but managed to hit the congresswoman in the head? That doesn’t sound very indiscriminate to me.

sarayakat commented on the blog post Senate Rules Reform Package Taking Shape
If I’m understanding this correctly the filibuster was used to kill or delay good legislation coming up from the House for years. Why weaken it now just when the Repugniks have recaptured the House? This might have been a good idea 2 years ago, but it seems like it will only smooth the way for regressive legislation if done now. Is there something I’m misinterpreting here?

How did we come to this, and how do people not understand that what today they do to him, tomorrow they will do to us?

sarayakat commented on the blog post Democrats Set Date for Senate Rules Reform
I like how Senate Ds push filibuster reform after loosing the House which can now play the role the Senate used to play (killing Progressive legislation) should the reform carry. Maybe they’ll succeed just in time to lose the Senate to Rs at which point they can say “oh sorry, we’re powerless now that the filibuster is no longer an option”. Call me cynical…

sarayakat commented on the diary post Moody’s Blues: How to Kill any Economic Recovery by Scarecrow.
I beg to differ. If you read these statements closely there is no dissonance – “The extension of the current tax rates is for a temporary period of two years and we think that if that’s all there is to it — it does not have ratings implications,” / “the package could add $900 billion [...]

sarayakat commented on the diary post Obama and Boehner ≠ Clinton and Gingrich by Chuckie Corra.
This is what I wanted to say, but couldn’t without too many expletives. Thank you fredcdobbs. To the OP – While you have neatly managed to avoid the phrase “they need to move to the right”, that’s what your entire article is urging. I never though I’d find this kind of milquetoast nonsense on FDL. [...]

This.
I consoled my Repug acquaintances in ’09 that we had just elected a moderate Republican. Turns out we elected a Liberal bashing pinhead.
