On this day in 1933, another smooth-talking Ivy League hopemonger won the White House during a terrible depression. He was also a minority in a way, in that he had no legs. Meet Franklin D. Roosevelt! You may have heard of him! MORE »

Hey, Barack Obama, we have rules in this country. Rules like, You cannot go around quoting the “I Have A Dream” speech, or the Declaration of Independence, or that weird/wrong thing FDR used to say (”The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”) to try to soothe the desperately poor and angry people who were this close to “seizing the means of production.” And that’s why Hillary’s campaign is sending everybody these shocking YouTubes proving that another black person has also trotted out a couple of patriotic chestnuts as proof that campaign speeches really do change the world.

It turns out that Hillary Clinton is not the only member of her family to speak with the dead. One artist has captured in paint definite proof of two living Democratic ex-presidents in sinister commune with the long deceased. What sort of liberal witchcraft is this coven engaged in? And what does it mean that Bill seems to “have all the chips,” while FDR “deals the cards”? MORE »

These Paultards will never learn that we are warring with them and they should not send e-mails! After the jump, a classic Paultard comment we received today. (Redstate is posting it too. As well as some other shit about like, Barry Goldwater, we assume). MORE »

Redstate has accepted our alliance in the War Against Paultards. They wish to be Churchill instead of “that socialist FDR.” This is good! It means they can take the bombing for the first little while, and eventually we’ll step in.

The Redstate commenters are posting videos of like, Ronald Reagan. It’s funny. What do we do now?

* Heard on the Hill: “On Friday afternoon, Capitol Police put out an all-points bulletin indicating that ‘multiple individuals were harassing or being too forward with Sen. [Barack] Obama (D-Ill.)’ inside the Hart Senate Office Building.” … The first 100 hours were neither first nor 100 hours… Senate still lazy, not working 5 day weeks. [Roll Call]

* Yeas and Nays: FDR’s car auctioned, fetches less than a NAZI CAR… Moby was here. He dislikes DC, which should cheer up Washingtonians. Also, Alexandra Pelosi calls him “Baby Mo.” [Examiner]
* Washington Whispers: New DCCC head is trying to be BFF with DNC head Howard Dean… Michael Chertoff picked Beta over VHS. [USN&WR]

The congressman from Illinois is making powerful friends wherever he goes. During a Monday night Daily Show appearance, the DCCC wizard was doing the usual “Bush sucks” routine and made a reference to FDR. MORE »

Good morning Washington and welcome back to work. Here to help ease the transition from your debauched three-day weekend excitement is Target’s own Franklin Delano Roosevelt action figure:

Kids — can you spot the 200 things terribly, terribly wrong with this picture? And concept? MORE »

We missed this, amid all the gruesome hurricane coverage. Our president celebrated the 60th anniversary of the cessation of hostilities in World War II in the classiest fashion imaginable, by likening himself to FDR. Speaking to recruits at a Coranado, Calif. naval base Bush laid it all out plainly: MORE »
