Bits and pieces for a slow Friday night....

It's always toasty warm and FUN over at my friend John's Crooks and Liars where I found the link to this bit of nonsense.

Here's a taste.

Marie Antoinette Pelosi?
Looks like the Republicans in the House aren't planning to play nice-nice with the Democrats after all. The emerging House Republican plan on how to address the new Democratic majority is turning toward an aggressive effort to portray Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi and her team as out of touch and liberal.

"Come January, we'll take her head off every day," said a top GOP aide involved in the planning. "It will be a pure war of ideas over the next two years."

Fine, you guys go right the fuck ahead.
Insult women, be devisive, argue against raising the minimum wage and reducing the taxes on college loans.

GO RIGHT AHEAD.

I saw this guy on C-Span not too long ago, and I was very impressed.
I plan to read the book as soon as I can.
Sunday December 17th he will be at Firedoglake to live discuss his book,
Whistling Past Dixie: How Democrats Can Win Without the South by Thomas F. Schaller .

Now off to go harrass the dogs....
