@AnatolyKarlin @dolboed @markgaleotti @echomskru 'Suvorov' critique on the wrong issue. Given Jan. expulsion & activity rate, it's working. 
@DrLeoStrauss @WWEnd I heard it is lacking in Gene Rodenberry wit. 
@DrLeoStrauss @WWEnd Though I'm a sucker - the millions spent to get to the "I'm a Doctor not a torpedo mechanic" line was well spent. - RT @BLCKDGRD: @DrLeoStrauss @WWEnd Saw it last night, seems a lot of millions $ spent on pyrotechnics to get to reverse radiation bromance …

Homeowners Thrown Under The Bus – What’s In Your Wallet?
Team Obama heralds today’s settlement among 5 banks, the feds and 49 states. $25 billion “to help hard working Americans”. Were that it so. Under terms of the settlement, the five lenders won’t have to pay out the bulk of the $25 billion. Some $17 billion represents credits applied toward targets lenders have to modify [...]
The Spy State
Arresting protesters. Infiltration of dissident groups. Surveillance. A new report details the pervasive abuses. Large scale social opposition is largely absent. An apparent inchoate cultural reverence for authority suggests a healthy civil society necessary to sustain democratic institutions remains problematic.
What Mike Deaver And Sarah Palin Might Have In Common
At moments — that is how the talking head circles preface comments on Palin’s sit down with Gibson. At moments she was on her game, upbeat, on point. Even repeating her theme song on the ‘bridge to nowhere’. Other moments? We are told she stumbled. Why, she could not even name the new President of [...]
A Hot Summer Night
It was the summer of 1984. Morning in America and all that. Driving across America in a convertible with no real agenda for once. Just a vacation. With me a now ultra famous ‘Republican pollster’ frequently discussed even in our modest comments section here. We were somewhere near Iowa or perhaps Missouri. The stars were [...]
@Comment
Great concept and production values.
One wonders how the Beard now feels in his absurd-from-day-one ‘The Situation Room’. A dated, Bransom-like schmaltzy parody of posing. Trapped like a fly in generic root beer residue.
George Lakoff’s advice articles for Dems on HUFFpo are hilariously tedious – He should have just hung it up after pointing out the obvious – issues have to framed so simple people will respond and not feel insulted. Now is trying to co-opt the whole culture of life vs. death meme.
Not much different that actual cable

Bibi has greater room for error than Newt:

Speaking of Newt – Greenwald brings up this context – Yeah, we never really figured out why the liberamedia seems to cut GOP slack on this stuff compared to Spitzer or Clinton. We have some vague theories, but can never really figure it out.

Newt’s intellectual insecurity is showing again – not his name-checking “Yale” in his recent comments re Clinton. Giving it a negative spin.
The Yale slip a classic poker tell. It’ll be fun watching him self destruct. One hopes it happens a moment when the collateral damage will be the most spectacular.
Yes on Cali’s prop 19.
