The Supreme Judicial Court today rejected the efforts of those who wanted to force the health care amendment onto the ballot despite the legislature's refusal to vote on it (thereby killing it). The Court acknowledged that the … [Read more...]
Democrat Bill Foster wins Denny Hastert’s seat
This is really pretty cool. In an amazing upset, the Democrats have won the special election for the House seat of former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL), a district that has long been in Republican hands and voted 55%-44% for President Bush … [Read more...]
Just overheard on “A Prairie Home Companion” — the joke show
So President Bush walks into a Burger King. KID BEHIND THE COUNTER: Can I help you? PRESIDENT BUSH: Hmm ... let's see, it's tough to decide, but I'm the decider ... I'm gonna have two whoppers. KID: OK, how about "you're an … [Read more...]
Dems are split right down the middle, but the vast majority want a unity ticket (with poll!)
Interesting results from a new Newsweek poll. In light of Hillary Clinton's three-state surge last week, she's once again in a dead heat with Barack Obama. The poll shows Obama ahead 45%-44%, which is a tie. Nor is there … [Read more...]

As for the "why," I think a big part of the answer is Tina Fey and the other no-longer-striking writers at Saturday Night Live. The one-two-three punch of faux debate/"Bitch is the new Black"/faux debate #2 was not only excellent … [Read more...]
And the winner of the “stupidest comment of the night” award goes to [drum roll …]
David Axelrod: On losing Ohio, he said it doesn't matter if the campaign didn't win since a Democrat will win Ohio regardless -- due to the economic situation there. Dude, that makes no sense at all. Plus, after 2000 and 2004, a … [Read more...]
