Displaying 691 To 720 Of 1,300 Comments Hitchens skewers Palin as mouth-piece of anti-semite. Huh. Look at the date. She had only just been introduced. That was early in the Palin saga, before she started talking about “Real America”, before her creepyness was clear. He sure slams the hell out of her in this latest column. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 8:36 pm The New Face of the Senate Health Care Bill I have no real hope for the Public Option. Which was a compromise of a compromise of a compromise. Fact is. We never had 60 votes in the Senate to close debate on a bill that included it. Bummer. But if we don’t pass a bill before the next election, we lose seats in the Senate. If we do, we gain. Then traitors like Leiberman can go out in the row boat. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 8, 2009 @ 6:26 pm Exactly. It is a very common ploy to vote for cloture and to vote against the bill or confirmation. Like DiFi did on Alito. That way she got to tell everybody who cared that she was on their side. God, I hate DiFi. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 10:08 pm Debatable. I was following it very closely. It would have required Obama taking the lead, but he did not feel ready to risk it. Weren’t you at Huff at the time? » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 9:55 pm WT Woodson. Hey, drop me a line at kevenyeay@yahoo.com. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 9:52 pm I don’t give a good goddam if they vote for the bill. We need 50 to pass the bill, and we got that without trouble. The Traitor Leiberman is not going to vote for cloture, unless the bill is utterly emasculated. Nelson is insisting on the abortion restrictions. Lincoln? Your guess is as good as mine. We need 60 for cloture. I am in no way sure we get it. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 9:45 pm Heh. Fairfax county to San Fernando Valley for me! » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 9:05 pm I’d like to see the Senate no longer seat two senators per state regardless of population. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 8:42 pm I regret getting you all fired up. I don’t know that we have 60 votes to close debate. We might have trouble getting more than 55 to close debate for a bill including the public option. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 8:39 pm You are very generous. I don’t see why immunizing telcos was necessary to reinstate the warrants. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 8:05 pm A huge frustration is that the “Dems” you refer to are not a single organism. The Rethugs have shrunk sufficiently to achieve a level of party discipline reminiscent of a European party. The Rethug Senate Caucus represents 1/3rd of America, by population. The Dems represent 2/3rds. But of those “Dems” are people who are anything but liberal, or progressive. They look moderate in comparison to the cretins on the other side of the isle. Painfully, we only have about 55 votes for the Public Option. You ask, will Obama sign it? Does a bear shit in the woods? Obviously he will sign for whatever passes. Hell, he voted to immunize the Telecos. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 7:24 pm Who the hell am I to complain? You have standing authortity to find me good photos. That is Reitman? » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 9:41 pm Turan has it all figured out. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 8:10 pm Rashomon: Twelve views of President Obama’s visit to Capitol Hill I find it tough to give up troll slapping entirely, I need the release. Besides, where else do we find new members for this site, except at that intellectually bankrupt hole, where everybody is bitching about moderation and srubbing. Ahem. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 7, 2009 @ 1:55 am I was having a swell time listening to Mitchel complain about the Dems meeting on the bill. Boo hoo hoo. It is not bi-partisan. Boo hoo hoo. Any less bi-partisan than DeMint predicting that this would be Obama’s Waterloo? » Posted By KevenSeven On December 6, 2009 @ 10:39 pm The evil distraction of Cap And Trade Which would be easiest and most effectively administered? » Posted By KevenSeven On December 6, 2009 @ 11:06 pm Krugman is a smart guy. I wish Obama had heeded his advice on the stimulus bill…. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 6, 2009 @ 10:44 pm What of it? The Rethugs can and will again hold the WH. Obviously. And they will put coal execs in charge of cap and trade. Short of eliminating elections, what do you propose? » Posted By KevenSeven On December 6, 2009 @ 10:36 pm It is not as if a particular structure of regulations needs to be coined and then never adjusted. Obviously the corporations will try and succeed in gaming the system. It is the responsibility of Congress to stay ahead of the game. That and to give the agencies regulating the power to adjust. We can only accept the fact that at times the Rethugs will have both the WH and Congress. Like while the last Admin’s Justice Dept utterly politicized the Civil Rights Division. There will be periods when the forces of progress are in repose. Happily, that is not the current epoch. So let’s get the best form of C&P that we can, in place, and stay on our toes as the carbon industries try to flank the regulations. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 6, 2009 @ 8:04 pm A happy turn of events for this greyhound Man, what a complete freaking bummer. The dog is lucky to have you, but then again, there are plenty of humans in the world worse off than that dog. I might have guessed that greyhound racers were creeps. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 6, 2009 @ 11:23 pm If you want a comprehensive definition of fascism, look to Umberto Eco. You’re going to need to re-write the first amendment to the Constitution, I’m thinking, if you want any of this to change. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 5, 2009 @ 11:11 pm I’d love to see a line graph or two showing the number of members, comments and posts from inauguration to today. I’m a very visual guy. And I’ll be damned if I can figure out how to add an image. I just can’t make heads or tails of it. Not sufficiently tactile for me. Still, it is a real kick to see the membership grow like this. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 6, 2009 @ 8:11 pm He’s a geek. That is a carnival performer whose specialty is to bite the heads off chickens. It’s a living, of sorts. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 4, 2009 @ 9:19 pm It’s time for Liberals and Democrats to join the Teabaggers I’ve met the teabaggers. They are deranged hate mongering racist assholes. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 4, 2009 @ 7:01 pm How many times did Sarah451 say she was happy to be speaking in “real America”? Fuck her. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 4, 2009 @ 7:00 pm Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! » Posted By KevenSeven On December 4, 2009 @ 10:45 am How much of that was people being deceived by brokers looking to make a commission? What, the brokers had no responsibility for selling loans to people without incomes? Frenchy is right about a lot of things. Not this. Now fan me, or else. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 4, 2009 @ 9:44 am Andrew Sullivan Officially Leaving the Right Perhaps he should know better, but he is certainly not going to fess up to it. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 3, 2009 @ 10:12 pm David Brooks is dirt. Utter dirt. He lies like a rug, and had his tongue right up Cheney’s bunghole. » Posted By KevenSeven On December 3, 2009 @ 9:49 pm You can find him speaking on various news talk shows if you search his name in youtube. He is a brilliant thinker. Bit odd as a gay conservative, but what can you say about Brits??? » Posted By KevenSeven On December 3, 2009 @ 7:56 pmComments Posted By KevenSeven
