Hello, you've reached The Center. Please join us at our new location, left of center.

Where the hell is the center, anyway? In an era where politics, and politicians, are more polarized than they have ever been, all these elected officials are running around try to appeal to some few (And mostly mythical) "independant" voters, to show what great appeal they have "across the aisle". And I'll bet most voters (including myself) don't give a rats ass what those "across the aisle" want to do.

While the right finds itself and its message increasingly irrelevant to voters, and the Democrats wallowing around in the center, we need a third party on the left to further marginalize the Republicans, show the Democrats for what they are, and move the center over to where the American people are.

"I pledge to be of service to Barak Obama under god",

That would have been a different story.

I was thinking the same thing. I mean, these numbers probably don't reflect the value of the various perks they receive, including healthcare of a quality that us commoners could never afford.

... the median salary of the American worker. Just to show what a generous guy I am, I'd even give them 10% on top of that. Using this randomly selected study:

That would be about 40K a year.

It's not just for priests anymore!

The DCCC website is not raising the money to support a censure of Wilson. They using his outburst to raise money to beat his ass (And other republicans)next election cycle, and support Health care/insurance reform.

But it's cool to use the rotting corpse of Mary Jo to diminish the many accomplishments of this great man.

Just so we're clear.

is right, and therefore wins.

If you got your information from news sources? Any of those left?

So now the discussion is about crowd size...You know what they say about the size of your crowd, dontcha?

Weirdly, they start the article as if they are actually going to discuss the issues:

On Sept. 12, a large crowd gathered in Washington to protest ... what?

But then seem not to care to pursue it further, probably because that might mean exposing how ridiculous these people are. So the go on to discuss crowd size and...Stalemate again.

Their estimate should reasonably be considered an official (and comparatively unbiased) one.

Both the police and fire departments are government funded socialist commie agencies that are under the control of Black America and report directly to Hitler. They can not be trusted.

We decide

What to report.

I think that she doesn't know the difference between "simple" and "simple-minded". But she is correct, in opposite world.

And she can see China from her house.

"The Dairy of Anne Frank"?

With knockers like those, it seems apt. For the Larry Flynt version.

Most Americans want the public option.

And at Sig.

Because people who exercise their constitutional rights are just like sex offenders.

Is that a piece of candy that you are hiding behind your back?

Says Favorite Child,

MaaayyyBeee

Says Mother,

Very well, you may have the piece of candy, but do not tell your brothers and sisters, for then they will all want a piece of candy. But show kindness to your brothers and sisters, so they will not know you deception.

Says Favorite Child,

Mother, I love you above all others, but alas, my brothers and sisters have seen my candy, for I held that candy above my head and said "Nyahh Nyahh", and they want candy also.

Says Mother,

Oy Veh

More people want a public option.

More people want everyone to be covered.

But they are still skeptical of Obama's plan?

That just says that the right wing noise machine is working.

Terrorist Obamacommies are the new red menace running dogs of a socialist freedom hating axis of evil.

Reality:

Reality is keeping a safe distance from Keep America Safe

So, if someone has a whole lot of money, they must have a whole lot of free speech, right? Do you have something against free speech? I mean, can we have too much free speech? I don't think so.

And there comes a point at which someone can have so much free speech, and I mean, so much they just can't hold it all inside, that they just have to share it with the rest of us. So that we may be the grateful beneficiaries of their abundance of free speech. Those people can either go into our government, where their extensive experience with monitized free speech can be best used in the allocation and distribution of all those free speech dollars. Or they can go to Town Hall meetings, so as to educate the citizenry to the greatness of their speech.

Either way, you, as citizens, can be assured that your dollars, or spare change, as the case may be, guarantee your right to free speech, and as such, the government is here to help you make the most of those dollars.

Call Goldman Sachs today for details.

Palin can embarrass herself just fine without Oprah's help.

Republicans will find a way to lie about it in 5 words or less.

I get the feeling that the complaint about Brooks' journalism is that he didn't consult the right experts

Instead of "getting a feeling" try "reading".

The point is, we don't know what experts he consulted.

but it is an opinion piece not a piece of factual journalism.

I would refer you to the title of Glenn post, which was taken verbatim from Brooks' article.

Especially after I heard (this morning?) that Clinton is touting the idea that Israels refusal to stop building settlements is "Progress".

Handing an olive branch to the Palestinians, Netanyahu promised that next year, the Israeli army would only kill "A small fraction" of the Palestinian kids that it killed this year.
