Canadians even wins when they lose!


The American hockey team beat the Canadian hockey team during the Olympics. I love how this Canadian gets the last laugh.

RNC Chairman Michael Steele apparently doesn't get out much

STEELE: This whole dog and pony show that we're about to witness today is something that should have taken place a year ago, when the administration first came in last February and laid out its agenda for health care. This is how you should have started it - bipartisan, public forum, CSPAN, your cameras rolling to capture this and to capture, most importantly, what the American people want. And right now, they want us to start over, and I think we should.
TODD: Chairman Steele, in fairness to them, I mean, it was a year ago that they actually had a summit.
GUTHRIE: On March 5th.
TODD: And it wasn't just the legislative leaders. They brought in folks from the industry as well. And that one was televised. So...does that one not count? I'm just curious.
STEELE: Well, apparently it didn't. Because we don't have health care.

The 4 phases of the Republican plan


This was inspired by Jeb Bush's call for Republicans to have "intellectual curiosity."

Let's listen to the most unpopular industry in America. Americans be damned.

I just read where the public option is much more popular than the Senate bill. So what does Obama do? he pushes the Senate version. Only in our broken “democracy” could the opinion of a handful of lobbyists representing one of the most unpopular industries in America have more sway than the opinion of roughly 65% of Americans. The American people have spoken loud and clear about what they want from health care reform, and it is a public option.

What's wrong with these pictures?

The first photo enraged the right while the second one encouraged them.

TOM! Where are you?


I received an email from my old Blog Buddy, Tom in Texas. I've been looking for his Blog for some time now and can't seem to find it.

Tom, if you see this, send a link.

I think I'll move to Minnesota so Al Franken will be my Senator

Al Franken is doing a bang-up job in my opinion. If all the congress critters were like him we'd live in a virtual utopia. In this video he takes Grandpa McCain to task (without ever mentioning him) for holding up Becker's nomination without submitting one question to him.
