Mitt’s Lies are Actionable
For a long time Mitt romney has said he left Bain Capital to run the 2002 Olympics in 1999. He has done so, in part to protect him from allegations that Bain profited from bankrupting companies and from outsourcing jobs. After all, both of those actions plays against the Romney…
Vote with Integrity
My son Jack pooped his pants twice today. Each time while cleaning it up I mused about how much easier and more sanitary it was than it is cleaning up the mess that Walker gave us. My son has more integrity in his poops than Walker can ever dream of. …
Yes, Scott Walker Stonewalled, According to Indicted Walker Crony Tim Russell
The news today is from the courtroom, where the judge in the John Doe squeezed the information out of Tim Russell’s lawyer. I’m going to get in trouble for copying this, but I’ll do it almost in its entirety nonetheless. From Esquire: Lon Robinson sat down at the defendant’s table…

Most Shaming? Republican? Neo-Nazi? Militia Member? Who Knows?
As far as I can tell, Jason Todd Ready, who yesterday killed a few family members and then, presumably, himself, seemed proud of his affiliations with Neo-Nazis and illegal militias. Was he as equally proud of his affiliation with the Republican Party? Gosh, who knows? It is all so open…
