So Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s visiting Iowa this week, and while he absolutely positively 100% has no presidential ambitions (according to him), I’m left wondering when he’s actually going to spend time here in Wisconsin. After all, it’s not as if Walker’s done a bang-up job governing Wisconsin. Perhaps Gov. Walker should spend more time [...] All these past months I have been on a tirade against the Keystone XL pipeline partly because the dang thing would run thousands of miles across the country…risking any number of fragile local eco-systems…with the resulting fuels exported around the world from the gulf refineries…with only a small group of Americans actually benefiting…with the major [...]

Duh Rep. Bachmann, isn’t [...] Yeah, not so much… The cover-up story relies on the premise that Obama administration officials pushed the idea of spontaneity in order to obscure the fact that they had missed warnings of planned terrorist attack. It’s plausible that someone was pushing that story for parochial reasons in these email exchanges. Perhaps the CIA put that [...] Since the recession, the federal deficit has been topping One Trillion Dollars every year. But just three months ago the Congressional Budget Office predicted that the 2013 deficit would be around $845 billion…well that was then, this is now and the CBO is now projecting the 2013 deficit at $642 billion…just 4% of the gross [...] As first reported by The Florida Nation, Pablo Pantoja, the now-former State Director of Florida Hispanic Outreach for the Republican National Committee, recently announced via email he is leaving the Republican Party because of the GOP’s “culture of intolerance.” Here’s an excerpt from Pantoja’s email.
