CHECK-IT-OUT: Glenn Beck has been caught soo many times ranting on and on about "facts" that are provably untrue! We found this Keith Olbermann You Tube video from last month and just had to share it! Keith's lead-up to "The Worst Person in the Worrrrrld" in this clip is fun to watch too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdwB3I20dCU OLBERMANN EXPOSES GLENN BECK AS AN IDIOT
Glenn Beck Judge not, least ye be judged. Amen.
Anybody remember the Republican’s endless, probing Congressional investigations of our last Democratic President in the 1990s? Let’s refresh our memories. The nation was held hostage to Republican partisan witch-hunts, from the Monica Lewinsky peep-show inquisitions --- leading to presidential impeachment --- to the total harassment by Congress when they took 140 hours of testimony (under oath) ...
The Congressional Budget Office has just sent a new letter that states that the health care law could "reduce their projected budget deficit by $30 billion over the next 10 years.” The CBO also states that repealing health care reform --- an idea Republicans are not only suggesting they'd do, but are actually running for office on! --- would increase the deficit by around $455 billion.

RECESS APPOINTMENTS: President Obama has just made four recess appointments, following his end-run around the Senate’s obstructionism last month when he installed Dr. Donald Berwick as the head of the agency that runs Medicare and Medicade. Republican Senators have set all time records for foot-dragging this administration's appointees. At times, when Obama's appointees finally get Senate action ...
So, are the Tea Partiers actually aware of their hyprocrisy --- or just schizophrenic!
"TRASH THE CONSTITUTION," SAYS THE RIGHT! We just couldn't let the Cordoba House controversy go without comment. So, here goes our (hopefully) short rant: THE RIGHT LOVES our Constitution and the spirit of our founding fathers so much that they are screaming for the destruction of both.
