Just more manufactured outrage from us on the left:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Nashville man says he and his 10-year-old daughter were victims of road rage Thursday afternoon, all because of a political bumper sticker on his car.
Mark Duren told News 2 the incident happened around 4:30p.m., while he was driving on Blair Boulevard, not far from Belmont University.
He said Harry Weisiger gave him the bird and rammed into his vehicle, after noticing an Obama-Biden sticker on his car bumper.
Duren had just picked up his 10-year-old daughter from school and had her in the car with [...]
Full Story... →Here’s a clue. If you are running for statewide office and you are going to be in charge of all our money, you probably should be as transparent as a previously unbroken window in a Democratic Party Headquarters. It’s very simple.
Transparency = Freedom, Democracy, and the American Way
Apparently Republican Josh Mandel and his staffer and current legislative aid Joel Riter are un-American fascists who don’t understand this concept and don’t like the glare of transparency peeking in on their right wing lovefest.
Chris Johnson at the Cincinnatti Beacon has the goods. A video (below) in [...]
Full Story... →Today, I propose that all candidates for county council support public hearings, under oath, regarding the drafting of the new county charter.? Only at the Independent.
Full Story... →Mike Vanderboegh, a 57-year-old former “militiaman” from Alabama, who called on teabaggers and wingnuts to “Break their windows.? Break them NOW” has a very interesting way of supporting himself according to WaPo:
Vanderboegh said he once worked as a warehouse manager but now lives on government disability checks. He said he receives $1,300 a month because of his congestive heart failure, diabetes and hypertension.
I’ll hang up and listen.
Full Story... →Again. More examples of manufactured outrage from the left.
No wait…
Damn. I’m going to have to rename this posting series! It just so happens that this is a press conference in which Eric Cantor (R-Va) claims that Dems are really to blame for inciting violence and that his office was shot at! It’s reckless to use incidents for political purposes so why don’t you listen to me while I use a recent incident at my campaign office for political purposes! LOL
Sounds bad, right? Nah:
In an interview with TPM, a Richmond Police Department spokesman said the bullet [...]
Full Story... →David Frum is learning how rigid the right is when it comes to criticisms from within. Maybe he didn’t realize how high the bar for ideological purity was when he penned his “Waterloo“, but he just found out:
Dear Arthur,
This will memorialize our conversation at lunch today. Effective immediately, my position as a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute is terminated. I appreciate the consideration that delays my emptying of my office until after my return from travel next week. Premises will be vacated no later than April 9.
I have had many fruitful years at [...]
Full Story... →Rachel just noted that Chapter 1 of the Obama presidency’s legislative history is over, and Chapter 2 begins today.? Agreed.? In Chapter 1, Rachel noted that the Republican strategy was…well….what we know it was. Crazed, hysterical, paranoid fantastical, apocalyptic cries of “NO!”? Agreed.? Guest Chris Hayes then argued that it’s now impossible for Republicans to do business with the president without enraging a Fox News base that now believes the world is about to end, and in response would pull them back.? Hayes then said he bets the Republicans will listen to that base.
Rachel then said that Chapter 2 [...]

Just got word that a mob of teabaggers from this band of loonies is outside Jennifer Brunner’s office shouting “Stalin”, and apparently, according to this picture, having their children carry posters of Stalin.
Full Story... →The Governor of Michigan gently reminds him who he’s legally obligated to represent in courts of law.
This, of course, has me thinking: could Governor Strickland ask AG Rich Corday to intervene on behalf of Ohio and argue that it is constitutional?
After all, if some States are suing in federal courts outside their jurisdiction to argue that the bill is unconstitutional, can’t States who disagree be heard as well by filing amicus briefs?
Just a thought…
