"Levi tries to visit [the couple's son] Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible. She tells him he can't take the baby to our house because she doesn't want him around 'white trash'!"

So where is she keeping the baby, since it's obvious she can't keep it at home?

I know, I know. Too easy, too cheap, at a target that doesn't deserve it. But still, somebody had to say it, right?

Isn't this the kind of thing that Ann Coulter has railed against recently--single momhood? When can we expect to see her anti-Palin column coming out?

Remember The Milk. iTalk. myLite. What's On? Lose It! Public Radio. New York Times. Facebook.

These are the apps I use everyday. I would have preferred ListPro to RTM, but guess what? No app for ListPro. Sure, I download the occasional free app, and give it a try, but I actually work for a living, and you'll note that most of the apps I have above are to allow me to use the iPhone to forward the goals of my life and my day.

One more thing: I'm hardly an Apple fanboy. This is the first true Apple device I've owned. Before this, I had an AT&T (really HTC) Tilt, with the latest iteration of Windows Mobile 6 on it.

What a piece of junk, comparably. I've used MS software and OSs for 20 years now. They don't have a clue how to make a phone OS. The iPhone not only changed my phone use, it put me into another generation altogether of mobile device use.

Since 1980, our party has been steadfast and principled in believing in the dignity and worth of every human life. We have supported a Constitutional amendment to protect life and the party has taken the position that no one individual has the supreme right to own another person in totality including the right to take that life.

Now, if only the GOP had actually been in control of the government sometime in the last 27 years, they might have been able to do something about it. I mean, it would take people in all three branches of the government--if only they'd had those people, had a president while having a Congress and a Supreme Court in their pocket, they would have moved ahead with this issue.

And, of course, given this stance, their anti-war and anti-capital punishment positions are well known, too.

Those war-making Democrats! If only they hadn't been in power continuously in the last 27 years! If only...if only....

If only hypocrisy would kill you early--then we'd never face a GOP opponent.

Heck, he could have said "Argentina."

And let's clarify one thing: to be "beyond the pale" means to be outside the fort (the "pale" being the sharpened trunks that made up the fort) out there amidst screaming barbarians, i.e., not civilized.

What's cute is how the Salon resident right-wingers can't distinguish between two things.

One of these things is not like the other....No, that's wrong! cries E-man or sonofloud. They're both things, so they're exactly alike!

Must go over big at the Republican Men's Saturday Afternoon Beer Bash, especially after a couple of beers so that their critical thinking faculties are completely trashed, rather than just mostly.

The repetition of talking points and the reflexive hatred of Obama reminds me of Limbaugh: "Now, when they say you that you don't think for yourself, here's what you tell them...."

A loyal opposition does not run specials on civil war.

A loyal opposition does not suggest that assassination is a viable option.

A loyal opposition does not tell us that they wish the President to fail.

The Republicans are not a loyal opposition. The last administration should be investigated for war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as violation of US law.

If found guilty, they should be sent to Gitmo to serve their sentences....

A loyal opposition wants America and her president to succeed.

Franken was the funny one.

Republicans want their constituents to be sick and stupid?

Some jokes just write themselves....

The expansion, out of thin air, of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet by $1.2 trillion dollars

Okay. This (and the similar comments I've heard--the Fed's "turning on the printing press," they just "do it with a few strokes of the computer keyboard") seems to suggest that there's some other source for the rest of our money. Like, it's backed by gold! or, you can turn it in for aluminum cans at your Fed Reserve Bank!

But it's my understanding that this is not the case--that all our money is created out of thin air--that money is trust, today, not "backed" by anything.

I understand the danger of "too much money chasing too few goods," although right now the danger is "not enough money chasing too many goods," i.e., deflation, and, worse, the slowing of the economy. But this, and the other reports, makes it sounds as if there's something unusual about the magicking up of money by the Fed--when it's SOP.

It's always been my understanding that smart rich people not only didn't pay 90%, they've usually paid less than the rate that the middle class pays--because they're able to afford accountants who know the tax code and can avoid tax rates that in effect were set high for show.

Hence the AMT. Or so I understand.

Bachmann was clearly driving at something; what that something was, however, is not entirely clear. Perhaps she's taking an extreme conservative/libertarian stance, going the "original intent" one better, to argue that if it ain't in the Constitution explicitly, it ain't in the government's power. Clearly there's a RuPaul (Ron Paul) appeal in the currency question (we're moving down the road to One World!).

I did expect her to come out with "Are you now or have you ever been..."
