• Nancy Pelosi Doesn't Care About Your Human Football Sports

  This wicked, evil lady-thing who goes by the Earth name of "Nancy Pelosi," but is actually known as Empress Bugeyes from the 5th dimension planet Stalintopia, does not understand the earthly pleasure of football. Because she does not posses human emotion she will never experience the thrill of rooting for teams vaguely connected to your alma matter or general geographic vicinity (besides even if she could, the 49ers don't provide much of a thrill). So she cannot fathom why any one would dare

• Congressmen Bore the Hell out of Us on YouTube, Vote Spaghetti Cat in '10!

  It's not that people don't want to watch Mario Diaz-Balart videos on YouTube. This video of him experiencing some sort of Sarah Palin-induced seizuregasm at a John McCain rally has more than 35,000 views (although over half of those were from me). It's just that people don't want to watch Mario Diaz-Balart-approved Mario Diaz-Balart videos on YouTube. Today, Congress officially unleashed on the world HouseHub and SenateHub as a quick way to find viral video propaganda from your favorite congr

• Florida Congressman Wants to Move Gitmo to Alcatraz

  Now that it's official -- Obama is closing the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- and we've all given ourselves a hearty slap on the back, the tough questions are really starting to rear their ugly heads: What do we do with the 245 guys left in Gitmo? Especially the truly dangerous ones, who we won't be sending to Europe or their home countries?Leave it to a Florida politician to come up with the bat-shit craziest idea yet. Rep. C.W. Bill Young, a Republican from Pinellas County, proposed ye

• Manny and His Marry Band of Mayors Get Snubbed by Obama

  Mayor Manny Diaz is in D.C. exercising his duties as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and hoped to get some face time with another president. You know, that President Obama one. Flanked by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and others, Diaz is running around our nation's capital in support of the proposed stimulus package, and the mayors went to the White House yesterday. They met with top aides such as Valerie Jarrett and Cecelia Muñoz, but according to Politico were hoping to m

• Bill Clinton Makes Second Fund Raiser Appearance For Meek

  Kendrick Meek has one thing no one else in the 2010 Senate fray have - a big fan in former President Bill Clinton. After appearing at a fundraiser for Meek in late January, Clinton made his second pitch for Meek this morning in Jacksonville. With another close ally in Nancy Pelosi, and a veteran of the Obama campaign is Meek's clinching of the Democratic nomination pretty much a done deal at this point? Well, it's much to early to know for sure, but despite the fact that we love good political d

• Obama Decides to Keep Grotesque Parody of Justice For Gitmo Detainees

  When I visited Guantanamo Bay a few months ago, I caught what looked like the last act in the long, sordid miscarriage of justice President Bush called the military tribunal system. Hope you weren't looking for a fair trial, boys.There were so many outrageous problems with Bush's plan for trying suspected terrorists, it's hard to know where to start.  The evidence, which is so mismanaged that whole case files have been lost in the Pentagon?

• Club for Growth Calls Crist a Closet Communist

  Club for Growth, a fiscally conservative group that helped push Sen. Arlen Specter into the Democratic Party with the threat of a primary challenge, sure does not like Gov. Charlie Crist. Now that ol' Arlen is gone from the party, Crist might be the group's number one GOP target. This month, Club for Growth has distributed a lot of press releases blasting our silver-haired gov. Apparently being a group that prefers hyperbole over considered discourse, Club for Growth has gone and nominated

• Kendrick Meek Opposes Using Federal Funds to Pay for Abortions

  Rep. Kendrick Meek has joined a small group of house Democrats asking that any health-care reforms not lead to federal funding of abortion, according to the Washington Post. The possibility of taxpayer money being used to pay for abortions is becoming a hot-button issue in the health-care reform debate -- one that Republicans might use to completely derail the purpose. Meek joined four other centrist Democrats who sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying they are "increasingly conc

• Miami City Commission Urges Obama To Repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell

  via Jilly McJillerson's FlickrIn an unanimous vote yesterday, the City of Miami Comission passed a resolution condemning the military's anti-gay "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Introduced by Joe Sanchez, the resolution cited the dismissal of translators, inability to meet recruiting levels, and the blatant discrimination. The measure even went as far as to call some of the effects of D.A.D.T. "insidious." If signed by Mayor Manny Diaz, which is pretty likely, a letter will be

• RPOF Chair: Pelosi Will Force You To Get an Abortion

  ​I think everyone can agree we need to reform health care in this country one way or another (if you don't you're either greedy or not paying attention), and since the Democrats are currently in control they're the ones taking a shot at it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majoirty Leader Steny Hoyer put their heads together and wrote out an opinion piece for USA Today in which they decided things like "hanging in effigy one Democratic member of Congress in Maryland and protesters hold

• Obama Addresses Congressional Hispanic Caucus Gala; Sings Happy Birthday to Marc Anthony

  via CHCI​President Obama addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala last night where he touted the number of hispanics he's appointed to high level positions, his nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, and stressed that the problems that face Hispanics are the problems that face America as a whole. An excerpt from his speech (full remarks available here):  Now, we face enormous challenges as a nation. Many of those challenges are felt far more acutely by Latinos. But our ab
