See, I Told You So Comes Back Around to Bite Rush Limbaugh Appropriately, the title of Rush Limbaugh's book, See, I Told You So, is exactly the proper phrase to describe the exactly predicted response Limbaugh would make.

Let the Spin Begin. Lamar Alexander Kicks it Off How the Republican hate mongers will put the blame for the Arizona shootings on everyone but themselves and make it, as usual, the best thing that has ever happened for Republicans.

BS and circuses, and the end of empires The Republicans are offering bullshit and circuses instead of bread and circuses to distract the people from their failure to govern.

Want to know why the Democrats lost? Here are two headlines that tell you why We've been pointing out the obvious fact that the Republicans live in a delusional, fantasy world that they've made up to suit themselves. They're not the only ones. Obama is still living in his own delusional, fantasy world.

Obama's 2012 campaign for re-election started on November 3, and he's already lost it The people I've talked to who voted for Obama in 2008 and didn't vote in the 2010 election say that they can't see much difference between a sleazy Democratic politician and a sleazy Republican politician. Maybe they're right.

Mistaking the symptom for the disease Cristine O'Donnell, Sharon Angle, Michele Bachmann are just three examples of the pustules on the posterior of our country. These pustulant eruptions are only the symptoms of a disease affecting most of the population.

The worst is yet to come; foreclosure fraud is the banksters' least problem There's an overlooked requirement of contract law that is the real problem for the banksters, and they don't appear to be aware of it. If the requirements of contract law were met it would make every original mortgage note that a bank sold to another bank invalid, unenforceable and uncollectable immediately upon sale.

Getting a Congress that represents us Consider the question: Can someone who makes $174,000 a year be representative of you? Even if they're not, can they be a representative for you? The answer is no, but there's a way to get representatives of and for us in Congress.

There are no liberals An article here on OEN by Rob Kall points out the White House elite's disdain for what they call the "professional left." We are mistaken to let the White House, the conservatives or the Republicans define us.

Lessons not learned: Shirley, Andrew is not the one who fired you Several people have proposed that there are lessons to be learned from the Breitbart Fraud Affair perpetrated on Shirley Sherrod. The most important lesson to be learned, falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, is not among them.

It's my Party and I'll lie if I want to That's the Republican Party doing the talking, there. In a decision by a Republican judge appointed by Republican George Bush, the judge has sanctioned lying as perfectly acceptable behavior.

The Heart of Hypocrisy, Tarrant County, Texas Tarrant County, Texas is number three on the list of the nation's counties that get the most federal money. From listening to the Republicans who run it, it's number one on the hypocrisy list.

John Boehner, the Man with the Plan The December 11 Washington Post has an article by John Boehner titled, "A better plan for jobs." I defy anyone, Boehner included, to read through the article and find anything that even remotely resembles a plan. It's just another re-hash of failed Republican ideology.

We gave Bush hell for it, now it's Obama's turn In all fairness, when Obama does the same thing for which we called George Bush a war criminal, how can we not apply the same standard to Obama?

The Rise of the Barbarians Someone was asked what would they tell Obama is the greatest threat to the United States. The answer was the Afghanistan war and terrorism. Neither one is even close. Obama is standing right in the middle of the greatest threat to the United States, looking at it every day. That threat is the cult of Republicanism.
