I consider myself a fiscal conservative. Moderately conservative, but to the right, nevertheless. Having said that, I have yet to hear a convincing argument that the ACA is worth all of this. And the shudown is one thing. If Congress refuses to increase the debt limit in a few months, they're really going to fuck things up. I am all for shrinking the debt, but failing to increase the debt limit DOES NOT accomplish this. The only way to do that is for both parties to negotiate a damn budget! All failing to increase the debt limit will do is force us to not pay our bills on debt already a

Oh man, Lammy living in a house with guns. The mind reels. "Just put it in the microwave, thank me later."

I don't have brunch often; but when I do, it's a beautiful day.

You live in Texas, so I'll assume that you know more about her than the color of her shoes and her stance on abortion when you label her a lightweight. I don't even recall the woman's name right now, so I don't know nothin'.

I now keep imagining Obama saying, "I wonder if the FedEx guy knows he's my dealer."

So damn true.

What time should I be over?

Mice!

Which would you rather be, a Christian in Cairo or Islamabad, or a Muslim in Birmingham or Knoxville? Also, after catching up on Cruz's filibuster, I agree a bit more with KevinG.

I left some parts of her comments in that I would maintain are absolutely true. I know -- off the top of my head -- that Christians have been targeted in Egypt and Pakistan. The attack in Kenya was directed specifically at non-Muslims (probably mostly Christian). I don't defend Cruz's filibuster. But there sure is an interesting comparison in the media attention he got versus what the woman in Texas got. Still, Palin's an idiot. But you know the stuff about blind squirrels and whatnot.

Yes.

Palin needs to go away. Threats to shoot up Republican congresspeople who vote differently from her wishes are far from cute.

I went on a huge Replacement binge tonight including lots of youtube vids from RiotFest Chicago. Sometimes I think they're the only band I need.

I'd hate to see Gardy go, but he deserves a shot with a team filled with talent.

The only problem with this is gerrymandering. Most of the House is safe just because of their party affiliation. Going after Obamacare will be good in the eyes of their constituency.

I hesitate to get involved in the gun control debate, especially since this post has really nothing to do with the tragic attack in Washington yesterday. I mentioned long ago that when an entire country makes severe limits on gun ownership, it saves lives. Period. The U.K., Japan, etc. make this crystal clear. Here's the thing... There's a serious situation at a place I frequent. A former employee has been making veiled threats. Not directly of violence, but he is clearly unhinged and violence is now within the realm of possibility. While I would not personally want a gun for protec

A couple of colleagues and I play music in the halls of my 7-8 grade middle school on Friday. I have a few Wilco tunes, mostly commercial classic rock. Another one plays some of the more modern stuff. Today was her playlist and a kid said, "Good, no weird music, stuff we can understand." Then I realized what I play is, to these kids, what Sinatra was like to me.

I got an email invite to volunteer for this which I am going to do and get in for free! Woot!

George Zimmerman something something.

Let's debate ideas, not people. I could cite someone, like Christie or McCain or lots of other people, but I don't understand the point. It's the ideas that are important. Just read Atticus's post. It's much more on point than mine.

RCP is, like Drudge Report, a clearinghouse. I think they tend to give more prominent attention to conservative povs, but they publish liberal pieces as well.

There are lots of idiots on the right. There are plenty on the left. Your line of logic seems to suggest that if one (or ten or thousand) conservatives are loons, they're all loons. Just so you know, I don't hold your loony rantings against the whole left wing. If you're seriously interested in some mainstream conservative thought -- which I doubt -- you can start here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ They post opinion pieces from lots of media, some left, but mostly leaning right.
