Happy blogiversary!

Five years ago today this blog was born. It didn't always suck as much as it does now, so that gives me hope that it will suck less in the future.

Enthusiasm gap bridged

Not that I wasn't going to vote, but the chance to vote against a jerk like Carl Paladino will make it all the more satisfying.

Quote of the Day

"Vast forests have already been sacrificed to the public debate about the Tea Party: what it is, what it means, where it's going. But after lengthy study of the phenomenon, I've concluded that the whole miserable narrative boils down to one stark fact: They're full of shit. All of them." -- Matt Taibbi on the anti-government, yet government fed, Tea Party hypocrites.

Stop digging

I will vote a straight Democratic ticket come November. Hell, I may even do it enthusiastically. But, the condescension coming from the president and his people towards the left needs to stop.

Quote of the Day

"Oh, good times. I’m so glad Democrats insist on using gloves with the extra padding while Republicans are adding spikes to their brass knuckles." -- Balloon Juice commenter Zifnab in response to the latest threats of never-ending investigations if the GOP regains control of Congress.

South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint warned Monday evening that he would block all legislation that has not been cleared by his office in the final days of the pre-election session.

Maybe Obama should just name DeMint his chief-of-staff and cut out the middle man.
