I was checking some videos on the Huffington Post when I came across this- Rachael Maddow Reponds to Lou Dobbs...The headline on this clip is a bit misleading. Not that it doesn't cover her reaction to Dobbs (& I'm also pretty sure a woman lacks the required anatomy "tea-bagging" queen) but it's only the intro in the video.

I think this is a very good sign of the coming years:

One of Obama's First Acts as President is to put Bush's 11th hour regulartions on hold "pending review"I wish the article listed some of the regulations or at least gave a time frame but I think it's safe to assume it covers all the really recent ones, like the Shrub's most recent attempt to ( Read more... )

So there's an interesting headline in my daily e-mail from the New York Times- "U.S. Considers New Covert Push Within Pakistan". Exactly how "covert" is something when it's a national headline?

First off. The House failed to over-ride the shrub's veto on S-CHIP. I hope the Republicans realize that they've shot themselves in the foot on this one- if the Dems have any brains at all (and they do have some), they'll hammer them on the campaign trail. And they should ( Read more... )
