Nikki Haley Calls Reporter 'Little Girl,' Draws Criticism

I don't need her; I've already got one of those.



What I need is public servants who will do what's necessary to stop the GOP-Tea Party from dismantlin­g the last century of middle-cla­ss security and community.



It's been just a few months, but she's now a confirmed, classic political mess, and the GOP needs to clean it up.

Obama Jobs Plan: $447 Billion, More Than Half In Tax Cuts, To Be Paid For By Super Committee

Exactly. They go to war and give themselves a major tax break, meaning that when the war bill comes due - the middle-cla­ss pays for it with benefit cuts. Nice crime, dudes... done out in the open because they know we always pretend it isn't happening - "they can't be really trying to kill us off, are they?" Uh, yes, because they don't need us anymore... their customers are overseas; their workers are overseas.

Payroll Tax Cut: GOP Resistant To Extending Obama Policy

Ok, no. I obviously just assumed what it would say... I hope you'll forgive me, but I was pretty close, eh?

Payroll Tax Cut: GOP Resistant To Extending Obama Policy

...absolut­ely unbelievab­le arrogant hypocrisy.



The GOP threatened and moaned and groaned to get their precious tax cuts for the rich passed - and then extended - but they now are against extending a tax cut for working class Americans. If you wanna know what class warfare is - this is it.



Where's my bat? This feels like a special moment. I mean, aren't we supposed to declare war once we discover who the enemy is? I say yes.

The Falling Man - Tom Junod - 9/11 Suicide Photograph - Esquire

"Dozens, scores, maybe hundreds of people died by leaping from a burning building, and we have somehow taken it upon ourselves to deem their deaths unworthy of witness -- because we have somehow deemed the act of witness, in this one regard, unworthy of us..."

"One of the most famous photographs in human history became an unmarked grave, and the man buried inside its frame -- the Falling Man -- became the Unknown Soldier in a war whose end we have not yet seen. Richard Drew's photograph is all we know of him, and yet all we know of him becomes a measure of what we know of ourselves. The picture is his cenotaph, and like the monuments dedicated to the memory of unknown soldiers everywhere, it asks that we look at it, and make one simple acknowledgment.

That we have known who the Falling Man is all along."

Phil Gingrey Faces Anger At Town Hall Meeting -- 'The Best You Can Isn't Good Enough'

The reason we are in a economic catastroph­e has nothing to do with any of those things, but the GOP doesn't care because they're repainting the financial crises to create confusion, and to sow fear; all in order to plant their hyped-up conservati­ve nonsense deeper into the national psyche. Listening to Gingrey's words, it's clear they certainly got to him - I doubt that he even understand­s the issues. But he doesn't need to - he just needs campaign cash, and there's plenty of that for coin-opera­ted politician­s who'll do the bidding of the deep-dish, far right.
