We Serve It, Even When It's Hard To Swallow
On last night’s The Daily Show, Jon Stewart handily dismantled the Republican budget proposal put forth by Paul Ryan (R-WI), after first taking a shot at the media’s ridiculous infatuation with the Congressman. “The President’s speech follows the release of the Republican deficit plan, authored by Wisconsin dreamboat…I mean Congressman Paul Ryan, the hunk budget [...]
Appearing on last night’s The Colbert Report, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) called for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from any hearing on repealing health care, due to Thomas’s wife Ginny, who earned $700,000 over the course of five years from The Heritage Foundation, which is actively working to overturn the new health [...]
Filibusters aren’t like Hollywood imagined them for us. Senators don’t have to hold the floor and continuously speak anymore. Instead, they can clog up the system with a simple order, and force the Senate to cough up a 60-vote majority just to continue with business. No longer is it a bodily sacrifice to stall the [...]

It is also just gearing up to make some major changes in our technology, research, education, transportation, and development, with the hopes [...]
For the callous, indecent antics of insurance companies, that have left nearly 1 in 4 residents of California without health insurance. That is nearly 8.2 million people who will have to pay exorbitant medical bills out of pocket, leading many of them to forego care altogether, which leads to a great spreading of diseases, and [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to show you the face of hate, bigotry and ignorance. Meet the Teabaggers, members of the self-professed social conservative grassroots movement goose-stepping their way across America. We’ve ridiculed their choice of Sarah Palin as an official messenger, while we scoffed at their racist views espoused during their inaugural convention, [...]
White House adviser David Axelrod made the rounds on the Sunday talk-show circuit, driving home the immediate benefits to passage of health care reform legislation, while reminding nervous Democrats that passage of this monumental social legislation, along with the immediate benefits, will help to defeat the obstructionist Republicans in the November midterm elections.
