Tinkle-on economics has only ever worked for the very wealthiest Americans. Yet another study shows that to be the case. It's not surprise that, as the article points out, Republicans did their best to kill the report. After all, as has been repeated ad naseum in this campaign, the Republicans will not be held to a pesky standard of using facts ( Read more... )

First, my apologies to the shade of Freddy Mercury.

Fundamentalists try to claim that Akin's claims about "legitimate rape" don't represent the the Republican party, though the party leadership put that moron on the House Committee on Science.

It seems there's a Gingrich campaign robocall that shows he's still the slimiest in a sleazy group. He tries to put the fear of old Jews into the race by claiming Romney denied kosher food to Holocaust survivors. Of course, the article points out the the facts: He vetoed a bill that would have spent extra money to keep kosher kitchens in old folks ( Read more... )
