Not so much. If you look closely, I think that might be Phil Gramm and the GOP.

Free Fall

post from Talking Points Memo on 28 January 2009 11:42:00 PM. © Talking Points Memo

The Times has a story in tomorrow's paper gaming out where the administration seems to be going on a comprehensive bank rescue plan. The gist seems to be that we're heading toward some version of the 'bad bank' plan; but they're moving cautiously so as[...]

Armey (R-TX) ... (David Kurtz/Talking Points Memo)

David Kurtz / Talking Points Memo:
WHAT A GUY — Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX) revealed more of himself than anyone cared to see, at the expense of Salon's Joan Walsh, this evening on “Hardball.” In a debate with Walsh over tax policy, Armey let loose with this chauvinistic gem: “I am so damn glad …

Late Night: No Time , 1973 and Mars

post from TalkLeft on 28 January 2009 11:22:00 PM. © TalkLeft

video details and more

"Life on Mars" is back tonight, one of the few cop shows I like, probably because it involves time travel back to 1973, the music is good and Michael Imperioli from the Sopranos and Harvey Keitl are in it. Watching New York in 1973 is fun. Throughout tonight's episode they are playing the Guess Who's "No Time." (ABC needs to turn their default audio to "off" or people will stop clicking on their site. Little is worse than assaulting us with unasked for audio just because we click on a site.)

"No Time" is perfect for this week since I've been in court all week and have had no time to blog.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.

Hollow victory: Republicans deliver slap in the face to Barack Obama — President Barack Obama got the $825 (or $1.2 trillion over a decade) stimulus package through the House of Representatives but the 244 to 188 vote is a hollow victory indeed. Without a single Republican voting for the bill …

Bloggers' Role In Obama's Bottom-Up Presidency

What is our role in an Obama administration? If some diarists criticize or question Obama, some commenters will urge we remain silent and give Obama some breathing space because he is a very intelligent man. However, that is NOT what President Obama[...]
