About that hostage taking with tax cuts and Medicare

I'm not sure yet about Ryan, but Grover Norquist and Rush? They just wanna see the muthafukka burn.

And the fact that Ryan and McConnell and Boehner and the rest of the Republicans have let those two unelected moneybags take over the policy directives of their party is the crime of the century.

Details at The Atlantic:

It's like I'm in Callista Gingrich's HEAD, man!

Because back on May the SECOND I did a Fake Callista post where I said all Newt's thank you's to her came in a Robin's Egg Blue Box.

And now it turns out Newt has a half-a-mil used-up credit line at Tiffany's?

In all honesty, it could be stuff not for her, or crystal stemware for entertaining Heritage Foundation fellows and big pharma donors. Or it could be payoffs for the College of Cardinals, many of whom I'm sure, squeal with delight every time they see that tell-tale ribbon.

Whatever.

Ever Wonder what Blue Gal's Dining Room Table Looks Like?

Driftglass says it looks like a bad accident on the Spoonpuppet Expressway. :D

Like everything around here, it's a work in progress. (8 yo is making puppets for school based on Cinder Edna, a very funny book that is BG recommended for kids of all ages. A rough synopsis is here.)

And yes, it is not possible to make wooden spoon puppets without some yarn from mommy's stash. Also, glitter glue is essential.

Question of the Day: @maddow take note

We know FOR A FACT that Vice President Cheney made 7.75 million dollars in Halliburton stock options during ONE YEAR as Vice President. What are David Gregory's holdings? David Brooks? How much of its own stock does GE hold, and how much does GE make when corporate welfare benefits their war machinery business?

And why is this spending off the table?

A repost from last March.

...And it's paid for with the blood of five thousand US soldiers and many more Iraqi civilians.

Anyone who gives her a seat on their television show is twisting the knife on all that is decent and honorable about America.




The idea that her father's war profits...
pay for cosmetic surgery...
to make her look more telegenic...
so she can promote and defend the murder of innocents and the torture of any...
in order to "keep me safe"?

Liz Cheney, and the networks who give her a stage, make Jesus himself vomit.

Fox and Friends cover the story

Via Sandy Underpants at The Aristocrats, addressing FOX and Friends: "Why is Ronald Reagan not getting more credit for the killing of Osama? He did invent helicopters and gun powder and shoes. He put the whole operation in motion."
