Weirdo Republican House Rep. Chris Lee of New York’s 26th District was actually trying to hook up with ladies on the Internet, which is so not the way the GOP rolls, so he has already resigned in shame, the end. Honestly, that’s the end to this dumb, quick, embarrassing story. He really can spend more [...]
Haha, what? The Los Angeles Times reports: The Republican-led House failed to pass an extension of expiring sections of the Patriot Act on Tuesday, an unexpected setback for GOP leaders that shows the difficulty they face in controlling their majority and its “tea party”-inspired members. Time is short: Key provisions of the terrorist surveillance law [...]
House Republicans are making a good start on not doing much of anything for the next couple years by their reading the Constitution. How could a Teabagger oppose such a thing? Oh, right. And oh, right, our president was born on the other side of the globe in Kenya, not on the other side of [...]
This is going to be a fun couple of years: “Blue Shield of California [is] seeking cumulative hikes of as much as 59% for tens of thousands of customers March 1,” the Los Angeles Times reports tonight. And the emotionally unstable alcoholic chain-smoker now running the House of Representatives wants to make sure this is [...]
For the past hundred years or so, political people in Washington and Southern California have looked forward to nothing more than the whimsical/weird Christmas Card sent out by Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez. Why? Because it showed a bit of whimsy/weirdness, which means it was utterly unique in the dead-soul forced-smile world of U.S. politics. Well, we [...]
Yes, the government of the United States of America does have to rub down your child’s genitals before he or she boards an airplane, because American toddlers are constantly being moved by their religious and political convictions to blow up large modes of transportation. But what about John Boehner? Nah, he’s fine. We don’t need [...]
What’s up, cancer man? You ready to bring dignity or whatever back to the House of Representatives, where you’ve been for two entire decades? Let’s do a mop-up liveblog and think about chasing the American Dream, with a gun.
Remember when Chris Matthews was harassing Michele Bachmann on his liberal MSNBC show, calling her a hypnotized zombie and everything, and then her eyes got even bigger and she started mocking him for the “tingle down my leg” thing, and then remember how you wanted to die, because all of American life is so trashy [...]
At her debate, Christine O’Donnell couldn’t come up with the name of a recent Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed, so why not ask this question of the dumb Republican candidate in your race, everyone? That’s what Congressman John Adler did against his opponent, former Philadelphia Eagles tackle Jon Runyan. Hey, at least this [...]
C-SPAN has a video up of Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) on the House floor giving a speech about the evils of domestic violence. That would be a pretty normal thing for them to do! But his grandson is sitting behind him the whole time, falling asleep and thus undermining Poe’s details about how scary domestic [...]
Hey here is something about that thing everyone is pretending to be very excited about today: Rep. John Conyers was just cold being an asshole to Stephen Colbert, the television comic who was invited to testify on this agriculture issue specifically because it would get some attention for a “dry” subject (the field slavery of [...]
House Republicans apparently get chills in their spines when they see Mike Pence, because they just know he will run for and become President of the United States very soon. So it came as no surprise that he won that straw poll last week, and for that reason it should come as no surprise that [...]
