WTF? TMI Dept.

Don't you think Andre Agassi's legacy would have been better served if he'd just kept his mouth shut and continued about his business as tennis royalty?

Why crush so many dreams?

UPDATE: Rare pic of Agassi at the conclusion of the 60 Minutes interview.

Wingnut TeaDouchebaggery

Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King skipped his son's wedding in order to vote "No" on the House health care reform bill. What a lovely man.

As ever: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Compassionate Conservatism

Once again we turn to the Appraisers Free Forum [more appropriately called the Appraisers Free-fire Zone] for a nuanced take on Nidal Malik Hasan and the recent shootings at Ft. Hood. Hasan, you will remember, counseled shell-shocked soldiers after they returned from Iraq and Afghanistan...

It's almost worse thinking about them being subjected to the Muzzie's "treatment" once they got back state-side trying to cope with PTSD.

Whoever let this scumbag continue on because they were toeing the PC line at Walter Reed ought to be strung up along with that Muslim shit bird. At least that asshole gets to think about how a woman brought his jihad to an end with a quick four shots.

"The Muzzie"? How nice.

Boxer says Dems can KO Stupak Amendment

My senator, Barbara Boxer, says the pro-choicers in the Senate have enough juice to keep the Bart Stupak Coathanger Amendment out of the Senate healt care reform bill...

"If someone wants to offer this very radical amendment, which would really tear apart [a decades-long] compromise, then I think at that point they would need to have 60 votes to do it," Boxer said. "And I believe in our Senate we can hold it."

"It is a much more pro-choice Senate than it has been in a long time," she added. "And it is much more pro-choice than the House."

Let's hope she's right.

Obama at the Ft. Hood Memorial

From the President's prepared remarks...

We need not look to the past for greatness, because it is before our very eyes.

This generation of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen have volunteered in a time of certain danger. They are part of the finest fighting force that the world has ever known. They have served tour after tour of duty in distant, different and difficult places. They have stood watch in blinding deserts and on snowy mountains. They have extended the opportunity of self-government to peoples that have suffered tyranny and war. They are man and woman; white, black, and brown; of all faiths and stations - all Americans, serving together to protect our people, while giving others half a world away the chance to lead a better life.

How will they spin that into hating the troops?

Here in California there's going to be a circus-like Republican primary as Carly Fiorina and Chuck Devore battle it out for the right to get trounced by Barbara Boxer.

California, Unter Alles

California voters remain steadfast in their resolve to break the state economy.
