Yesterday, the NAACP threw (emphasis added):"Late this afternoon the NAACP passed a resolution calling on all people -- including tea party leaders -- to condemn racism within the tea party movement. "We feel it's very important that we educate our membership about the tea parties," said Anita...

Newton's First Law states: An object's inertia causes it to continue moving the way it is moving unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force to change its motion. In the simplest of terms, this means an object (like a passive-aggressive GOP body politik) will always continue moving at its current speed (slowly or not at all as the party of "no"), and in its current direction (down into the muck) until some...

Graham's comments earlier and that alone was a cup of cold water to the face. The Republicans have held the White House for 20 of the past 30 years. Many think Bill Clinton was more pro-business than most Democrats, so if you include him you...

We can't afford to extend unemployment benefits, but:"...an examination of the American tax code indicates that oil production is among the most heavily subsidized businesses, with tax breaks available at virtually every stage of the exploration and extraction process."Take, for instance, two of the major players in the Gulf oil spill--Transocean and BP:"When the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform set off the worst oil spill at sea in American history, it was flying the flag of...

Free marketers and Libertarians always decry any government involvement in business, bemoaning "interference", "government takeovers", "socialism", and "tyranny" whenever the administration or Congress enacts legislation or regulation to stabilize markets or make them more fair.  Their prescription for all ails is tax cutting and unrestrained free trade where the "market" will self regulate and benefit all who can afford to play.  They advocate wholesale elimination of the EPA, Department of Education, Department of Health, dismantling...
