Chris Wallace is a complete fucking tool.
In the process of making mountains out of molehills on Sunday by trying to insinuate that the VA is trying to kill vets, Chris Wallace tried to make a federal case out of the use of an end-of-life planning manual used by the VA. h/t Crooks and Liars

Time again to call bullshit on John McCain.
This morning, this AP headline came across my radar:

McCain: Obama must drop health care public option
WASHINGTON – Sen. John McCain says President Barack Obama will have to drop proposals for a government-run health insurance option if he hopes to reach congressional agreement on health-care reform.
… The Arizona Republican [...]

Every single shirt drooling, mouth breathing, tea bagger jumping up at town hall meetings to obstruct health care reform should be forced to watch Betsy MacCaughey try to defend the raft of lies being peddled to obstruct meaningful reform of health care in the U.S.
Part I … (beginning of the train wreck)

Part II (extended) … [...]

I’m getting tired of listening to the idiots carping about nationalized health care. They are, by and large, complete fucking idiots.
The question posed at Arlen Specter’s town hall was obscene—yet representative of so many in the tea party crowd who want to derail the discussion on health care reform.

The World Health Organization (WHO) today announced that they will stop using the term “swine flu” to refer to the current influenza outbreak, in favor of the more technical term, influenza-A (H1N1). This was primarily in response to the Egyptian government—a government so profoundly stupid that there are no words in any language to properly [...]

It’s odd to hear all of the recent references to people “going Galt.” It’s odd because the idea of Galt and Rand’s philosophy are infantile at best.
If someone wants to “go Galt” then let them. It’s a case of “I’m mad, so I’m taking my toys and going home.” As I’ve heard others note, “graveyards [...]

I’ll be honest. More often than not, when I watch Jon Stewart, I’m in it for his news recap and kind of pass over the guest interviews.
But the brewing flap that’s been developing the last few days between Jon Stewart and CNBC has been interesting. Thus, Stewart’s interview of Jim Cramer last night would be [...]

For those who aren’t aware of how the whole housing crisis came to be, here’s a basic primer on what happened.
There’s a house at 123 Main St. It has a value. For the sake of our conversation, that value is $250,000.
You want to buy that house. But of course, you don’t have $250,000 cash on [...]

Checking headlines over at Yahoo! News and came across this:

Doctors remove benign lesion from Bush’s forehead
WASHINGTON – President Bush underwent treatment for a benign lesion over the weekend, leaving a noticeable scab on his forehead as he went about his business on Tuesday.

I have to ask … was it his brain? He wasn’t using it [...]
