I know, I’m late to the party on this one, but I have to get my piece in on Sen. John Ensign’s (R-Nevada) resignation amid his admission of an extra-marital affair. I only have 2 things to say about it. First, I don’t begrudge my fellow liberals the glee of reveling in Ensign’s pontification-at-length on [...]

Update: Here’s some video of what Ziegler had to say at the event: HuffPo has a write-up, and some video, from yesterday’s “Fire David Letterman” rally.

Update: Just got off of the conference call with Director of the Office of Personnel Management John Berry. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a question in, but I can say that the press, as a whole, are very unimpressed with this move. I expect there will be a lot of negative press on this. The tone [...]

In an interview on CNBC yesterday, the President made an Earth-shattering observation about Fox News’ coverage of him: Think Progress ably points out the inherent contradiction in John Harwood’s question, versus his assertion that CNBC has been slapping Obama around for awhile. As soon as I saw this, I knew there would be some kind [...]

I plan to go into much greater detail on the State of the LGBTQ Union later in the week, but a thought crystallized in me last night when I saw a tweet from one of my favorite tweeps: GayRainArmy Is Obama so out of touch that he thinks “private assurances” to LGBT “leaders” is going [...]

I had a really long and complex (and surprisingly coherent) post written up about the Iran elections. And then WordPress ate it. (Yes, WordPress ate my homework. No, it’s not funny, I was working on that for hours.) It’s late and I’m pissed off and on a computer that switches to French keyboard configurations without [...]
