The Massachusetts Senate race between Democrat and Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren and Republican Senator Scott Brown kind of did the opposite of heat up Monday, with both the candidate and incumbent saying very lovely, faux-humble things about how they hope to compete on the basis of their own ideas (money) rather than the ideas (money) [...]
Hey, everyone remember that weird attack ad Karl Rove’s sweatshop of joyless video editor-slaves at Crossroads GPS slapped together a few weeks ago accusing Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren of hating “job creation” because she, um, sympathized with the concerns of the unemployed and Occupy Wall Street? Yeah, so: how well has this strategy worked [...]
How do you prove you hate “job creation” in America? According to a new GOP commercial attacking Elizabeth Warren, you do this by expressing sympathy and support for the jobless Americans taking part in the Occupy protests nationwide. The ad was created by Karl Rove’s anus Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, some wingnut consulting firm that [...]
Taxes! They are necessary! Which is exactly the sort of thing a socialist Harvard law professor like Elizabeth Warren would say, for socialism, but the kids on the Internet are going wild over this video of newly-minted Massachusetts Senate candidate Warren explaining why it is evil for greedy millionaires to complain about taxes that support public [...]
Massachusetts has discovered a new place to try to hunt down its wanted criminals: the Rhode Island state legislature! It seems kind of obvious in retrospect, only because the Ocean State is kind of a sad, drug-addled dump from what we hear. Rep.

A heroic staffer for Massachusetts model-senator Scott Brown recently saved this nice little cat from a harsh, lonely existence on the wild streets of Washington and brought her to Brown’s office. The feline polled well with Team Brown and subsequently acquired a new name: the distinctive “Lucky, a.k.a. ‘Longshot’” — as well as a new [...]
America’s new Ted Kennedy, Senator Scott Brown, just can’t stop himself from enraging the tri-corner Internet lamers who rallied nationwide to help him defeat some Democrat lady who didn’t even really try to win. Brown’s latest treachery was voting to stop Republicans from preventing passage of the middle-of-the-road Financial Regulation bill. HOW COULD HE DO [...]
Teabagger groups have not said anything yet about that ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act last week! Some feel hating the gays on this would distract from the Teabaggers’ real issue, paranoid schizophrenia “fiscal matters.” “Privately, though, many said they back the decision because it emphasizes the legal philosophy of states’ rights.” That Taxachusetts [...]
Your right-wing types often go on and on and on about “keeping the gummint out of my hair” and “state rights,” and take as their proof text the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, which basically says that the Feds can’t do anything but fight wars and mint gold coins and maybe build interstate highways, and [...]
