The Kansas City Star’s Steve Kraske, BizzyBlog’s Tom Blumer, and BizzyBlog Commenter Joe C. are all dumb as boxes of rocks. They read the following quotes and come to the conclusion that Barack Obama is not going to run for a second term in 2012:

“You know, if – if I feel like I’ve made the very best decisions for the American people and three years from now I look at it and, you know, my poll numbers are in the tank and because we’ve gone through these wrenching changes, you know, politically, I’m in a tough [...]

After Tim published the last video from the all-night Palin book signing camp-out in Dublin Ohio, people began to ask us if we had more footage. But of course!

When we originally went out to see what was happening at the Border’s bookstore in suburban Columbus Ohio where people were camping out to be the first in line for a Sarah Palin book signing event, we had no idea what we’d be in for. It’s always this way. What was apparent right away was that these people were literally dug in for the long haul on their support [...]

Would this be considered a lateral move?

Suzanne Sena, former primetime/late night news anchor on Fox News Channel, is back in front of the camera, this time anchoring for ONN: Onion News Network.

Seemed appropriate given the past couple of days:

Thanks to all who sent notes of support or commented them. Really appreciated. Great to have some new fans too! Stay tuned…

Update: You ask. We answer. For those wondering if Republicans are fucked up, thanks for searching and stopping by. Your answer is below.

Hanging around the Palin idiots as much as Eric and I did yesterday really gets you down.? It’s hard to believe there are this many people in America this ignorant, and so proud to be so.? Exhibit A is their utterly predictable reaction when someone tells them, straight up, “You voted for George W. Bush twice, you fucked up our country, you can’t have it back.”

There are no two single acts in the average American’s [...]

You could probably have figured this out by now.? The more liberal economist is saying the stimulus was not big enough and another infusion will be needed to get the economy fully on track.? The more conservative economist is saying the stimulus has been a disaster and is not working, proving that big government is bad.

The snipping is all well and good.? Those less likely to inject politics into the mix admit the stimulus is working to, um, stimulate the economy despite it’s failings:

But with roughly a quarter of the stimulus money out the door after nine [...]

FFS. Probably one of the biggest political junkies of all time and someone who tried (and failed) to pass health care reform won’t attend a free clinic because Keith Olbermann made it too political?

Oh for good god damned sakes you have got to be kidding me. Earth to Bill Clinton: This shit has been political from day one. Don’t go all weak kneed on us now. You’re doing nobody any favors by making lame attempts to be above the fray. Get in the game or go the hell back to Arkansas and drive your AstroTurf? lined El Dorado [...]

Just saw this ad on Craig’s List looking for “Conservative Political Volunteers for anti-Obamacare event”.

Their plan somehow revolves around handing out lemons in plastic bags…

Good luck with that guys. Your only hope with this plan is to have someone come up with a clever, sex-related name for your lemony movement. Is Lemon-Baller some kind of sex act? If not, it definitely should be.

But to find the real humor in the Craig’s List politics category you need to scroll up a few posts to the responses the Lemon-Ballers received.

This one is my favorite. It [...]

USA Today has a neat interactive graph that let’s you compare Presidential approval ratings. I found this comparison of Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan pretty interesting:

Another worth plugging in to the comparison meter is Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

All your graph are belong to us. Boo Hoo. Ouch.

Boy, I love me some irony.? What the hell else did they expect given her history of quitting on her home state of Alaska so that she could travel around in a custom bus taking dollars from unsuspecting sycophants?

Seriously. Palin’s little book tour appears to be like honey to stupid bees.

Anybody who has been paying attention should not be surprised by this, but Reagan conservatism has consistently resulted in an increase in debt relative to GDP, while Democrats have consistently reduced debt relative to GDP.

Post-Eisenhower, conservatism has been pretty broken, and despite their caterwauling about “smaller government” and “fiscal responsibility”, they have consistently done the opposite.
