Silly Silly Japan

Hostile to immigration! What a wacky country filled with strange customs.

Always Looking Out For The Little Guy

I actually have no opinion about Gene Sperling so just chalk this post up to general cynicism, but I have noticed that anecdotes suggesting 'he's really a liberal!' seem to pop up when people are floated for key economic positions.

Silly Europeans

What with their high unemployment and stuff.

Congressional sources tell me that Reid has reached a deal with Republicans on filibuster reform. Basically, in exchange for removing the supermajority requirement for legislative votes, 6 Democrats have agreed to switch parties and vote for McConnell for Majority Leader.

QOTD

[W]e're every bit on the path to -- to start generating jobs.

I don't think the politics of HCR simple or that it's slam dunk good bill, but ultimately Dems should figure out that no matter what they own the bill and they should start defending it. Or trying to improve it.

Sunday Bobbleheads

Face the Nation has Michele Bachman, Issa, Wasserman Schulz, Weiner, and some new Republican House member.

Meet the Press has Attorney General Lindsey Graham and Senate Majority Leader Toomey.

This Week has Goolsbee and that actor that used to be on Facts of Life.

Document the atrocities!

Puke Funnel

What does McCain see when he looks in the mirror?




Two Tier

What's a little default between friends.

That Time Again

Lunch Thread

enjoy.

Deep Thought

Can't find the video of Chris Christie yelling at snow.

Happy New Year

It seems either the Mummers or people who intend to watch them this year have discovered the vuvuzela. #abittooclosetotheparaderoute
