Twisting arms, trading votes — unless 60 Senators vote YES this week, the first overhaul of our outdated financial laws since the Great Depression could go down in defeat. We didn’t get everything we wanted in the final negotiations – we lost the auto dealer loophole by just one vote. But we got a lot: […]

  Having just finishing Jonathan Alter’s "The Promise", these comments from Clinton almost knocked me of the chair.  If i had to bet today, i’m not sure i would put a lot of money on president Obama having another term – either because he’ll just say ‘the hell with it’ (Or Michelle will…, or simply […]

Senator McCain true to form does what Republicans have been doing for years, if there is no data to back your assertion simply create the data and assert it. Unfortunately the average American listening to a Senator would justifiably assume a renowned Senator would not outright lie. It is for this reason that lies like […]

  Recessions are common; depressions are rare. As far as I can tell, there were only two eras in economic history that were widely described as “depressions” at the time: the years of deflation and instability that followed the Panic of 1873 and the years of mass unemployment that followed the financial crisis of 1929-31.

The reality is the system is abused much more by corporate […]

  Apparently this is officially the week the world discovers reporters have opinions, too. Hot on the heels of Dave Weigel’s resignation from WaPo over some leaked emails in which he expressed his dislike over certain aspects of the conservative movement comes this video of reporters getting caught on a hot mic making fun of […]

  A loving family should not have to go through legal nightmares just to be "officially" together. If we spent more time ensuring that functional families are able to stay together as opposed to designing a prototype family that likely never existed, society would be better for it. If gay priest and evangelists are incapable […]

  Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh famously said he hoped President Obama would “fail” in January, 2009. Almost a year later, when Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital with chest pains, Washington Post reporter David Weigel had a wish of his own. “I hope he fails,” Weigel cracked to fellow liberal reporters on the “Journolist” […]
