Mitt Romney is campaigning in Alabama and Mississippi. Mitt actually told a crowd in Mississippi “I am learning to say ‘y'all’ and I like grits and things.” I hope your staff briefed you about the grits, Mitt. You can put butter on them. You can put cheese on them. But don’t put truffles, pate, or arugula on them. “Yes, I’ll have the grits with foie gras and balsamico, some braised squab, and a side of Tuscan greens... y’all.”
There’s more good news on the economy—this month’s jobs report looks excellent. I know, I said that last month. And the month before that. If it sounds like I’m repeating myself, that’s because the good news on the economy is repeating itself. Payrolls have now grown by more than 200,000 for three months in a row. Of course, you knew that from the fact that the Republicans have spent the last three months talking about things like contraception.
Sarah Palin has accused President Obama of “bringing us back to the days before the Civil War.” Really! That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard in weeks—and we’re in the middle of a Republican Primary! Palin thinks President Obama needs to learn that “Here in America we are equal and we all have equal opportunities, not based on the color of your skin.” Sarah, President Obama doesn’t have to learn that. He embodies that. Sarah Palin is a paid political commentator on Fox News. She gets money for giving her opinion. That would be like paying Betty White to help you move a piano.
And Pat Robertson has come out for legalizing marijuana. For the record, marijuana is the only thing Pat Robertson thinks should be legal. Is it possible that Pat Roberstson is a closet stoner? It would explain a lot of the stuff he says. Pat, you gotta get some mellower buds—that stuff you’re smoking is making you paranoid. I haven’t been stoned for ages, but I was never so wasted that I thought a hurricane was punishment for homosexuality.
Listen to me Monday through Friday from 6 PM to 8 PM on WWRL AM 1600.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has advanced a so-called comprehensive immigration plan. And, as usual, Democrats conceded to Republican demands in the name of compromise. Over the last five days, the Judiciary Committee members considered over...
I must admit, I've never been to Oklahoma. I have family friends from there, but it's one part of the Great Plains I've managed to avoid in my life. Yet that didn't stop me from feeling quite a bit of empathy with those folks in...
For over a week, Republicans have refused to focus on anything but so-called scandal. And, it turns out, that's exactly the way they want it. On Thursday, the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, sent a letter to...
A new CNN poll shows Obama's favorability rating at 53 percent. That's up from 51 percent in April, and up from the 51.1 percent from the poll that really counted last November. Like before the scandals, 45 percent of people disapprove of the...
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have made their point – they hate Obamacare. And, just in case anyone didn't get the message the first 36 times they made that point, they're about to waste even more taxpayer...
It turns out the IRS was investigating conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status. Duh! And the TSA has been looking at people seeking to get on airplanes. None of the conservative organizations that the IRS was "targeting" were...
The Associated Press has accused the Justice Department of "massive and unprecedented intrusion." That's according to one of the AP's top executives, after learning that the government secretly acquired two months of the news...
It seems that the Republicans won't stop until their attacks over Benghazi are as vicious as the attack in Benghazi. The Republicans would have you believe that the Obama administration altered the talking points on Benghazi out of political...
According to the U.S. Supreme Court, Monsanto has the right to control our food supply. In a unanimous ruling released this morning, the nine Justices sided with the agricultural giant, and held that an Indiana farmer violated Monsanto's...
Yesterday, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives postponed all floor votes so they could hold their ninth hearing about Benghazi. Instead of working on any number of pressing issues effecting Americans, Republicans spent nine...
