Ezra Klein, on the tepid reaction to the President’s energy policy:
This brings up one of the toughest questions in punditry: What is the right thing for the president to do on an issue that’s 1) morally urgent and 2) absolutely dead on arrival in Congress?
He forgets one thing:
3) and which his political opposition will be allowed to argue both sides of?

A day after TPM posted the video we obtained of Duffy talking about his salary at a Polk County town hall meeting earlier this year, the Polk County GOP contacted the video provider we used to host the video, Blip.tv, and demanded the video be taken down.

Obama's Libya Speech →
Conservatives who want him to broaden the war (why not Iran?) were probably unconvinced by his point about intervening only to prevent a directly impending massacre. Liberals and libertarians who dislike the idea of dropping bombs — without Congressional approval, no less — on a nation that poses no threat to us (and without a clear exit strategy) were almost certainly not...

Unpopular opinion: I won't donate money to Japan.
filigree:
My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by the disaster, and I hope strongly for a quick recovery for everyone in the affected regions.
That said, the Japanese government is not particularly wanting help, it’s unclear how useful donations are, and the country might not need help in general.
I understand the impulse of wanting to do something to help when confronted with...

FOXnews VP Bill Sammon was caught on tape making a rather unfortunate admission on a conservative cruise:
At that time, I have to admit, that I went on TV on Fox News and publicly engaged in what I guess was some rather mischievous speculation about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism, a premise that privately I found rather far-fetched.

You know, keeps everybody happy around here.)

That's a pretty compelling analysis you pulled out of your askhole there Mr. Comstock. Do you have a PhD?

Libyan War Now Costs Over $600 Million →

With the United States economy tanking and vital programs being cut for lack of money on both the federal and state levels, President Barack Obama has already spent over $600 million in just six days in the Libyan war. The U.S. is now actively fighting the war on the side of the rebels — an intervention in a civil war that has been embraced by liberals like Nancy Pelosi.
