Well, frumps, you might have missed it if you blinked but the Capitol hosted yet another Tea Party on Tuesday. Numbers are decidedly down – could be the holiday season, the perma-recession or a scarcity of free bus rides provided by Fat PACs – Tea Party bloggers pegged the number at “a couple thousand;” other [...]

The Party’s Over
Well, frumps, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later: Glenn Beck is feeling his oats and is going all political activist on us. Maybe it was the success of his 912 Project’s Million-or-so Wingnut March on Washington, or maybe it was the warm fuzzy rush when Candidate Doug Hoffman cited [...]

In a rare show of bipartisanship, GOP members of the House helped their liberal counterparts to declaw the Patriot Act by attending Michelle Bachmanns “Super Bowl of Freedom” rather than doing their job (which, on Thursday, involved voting on one of the Republicans’ pet issues – National Security).
Three sections of the Bush legacy Patriot Act [...]

Well, frumps, it’s probably best that President Obama’s Nobel Prize announcement came on a Friday. It means that we’ve gotten through knee-jerk reactions, Twittermania and conservative blog bashing.

Thank you, Glenn Beck, for proving to us, this past weekend, that we really have nothing to fear but fear itself. After six months of planning, organizing and publicizing the 912 Project, even with the help of Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks troops, actual turnout for the 912 March on D.C. on a balmy September weekend, has [...]

Well, frumps, the big day has finally arrived. What “big day” you ask? Well it’s September 12th, of course, the day that Glenn Beck invented, back in March, in a weepy fit of tea-baggy nostalgia for the good old days of terror and chaos immediately after the 9/11 attacks. Although many of us can only [...]

Well, frumps, I have a confession to make. I’ve been withholding information of a very sensitive but critical nature. I don’t like to be one to set off needless alarums or to cry wolf at a time when we have more than enough bad news on our plates. That said, though, September 12 is fast [...]
