*updated below* So much for keep calm and carry on, what Joe Scarborough proclaims to be his motto. It was the weirdest one-on-one back and forth with a high profile talking head imaginable. It makes high school look mature. It began with a Joe Scarborough blast of venom and didn’t let up until he’d finished [...]

The Weekend Pres. Obama Gave Women Their Own Social Security
But the reality of life here is that Mr. Gulbranson and many of his neighbors continue to take as much help from the government as they can get. When pressed to choose between paying more and taking less, many people interviewed here hemmed and hawed and said they could not decide. Some were reduced to [...]
Joe Scarborough Compares Obama Contraceptive Mandate to Federal Govt. Mandating Southern Baptist Female Deacons
“… I think women should be deacons as well as men. …But if the federal government, if the Justice Department offers a mandate ordering Southern Baptists to make women deacons, I would be the first to say get the hell out of our business.” – Joe Scarborough (9 February) That quote tells you all you [...]
Only Option for Republicans on Obama’s Free Contraceptive Mandate is to Stress Government Overreach
“There really isn’t a constitutional issue involved in this.” – David Boies, on “The Last Word,” with Lawrence O’Donnnell (leading U.S. constitutional attorney) There is no constitutional issue on the contraceptive coverage mandate, as David Boies explained last night. Republicans have two choices, only one of which could work. Right now they’re all doubling down [...]
Women Want Their Birth Control
“The Peggy Noonan piece left some things out. … But I have to say, the article appears to be very misleading.” – Mika Brzezinski, “Morning Joe” (7 Feburary) This started yesterday on “Morning Joe,” with Brzezinski reading part of an over the top declarative Peggy Noonan op-ed and getting very exercised about it before she [...]
Al Sharpton Schools Morning Joe
The Catholic League, according to CBS, is “poised to go to war with Obama over mandatory birth control payments.” A better stenographer the Catholic League could not have than CBS, with the threat meant to put a political scare into Obama. But this isn’t 1980 and the Catholic League is facing a new generation in [...]
Michael Hastings on Obama and the Military

Republicans in a Panic Over Gingrich Nomination
“… I am not supporting Newt. I am not going to vote Newt. I will not support him in any way. .. He is not a nice human being. … He de-humanizes anybody who gets in his way. … The Republicans I talk to say he cannot win the nomination at any cost. He will [...]
MSNBC Needs Ann Coulter as a Permanent Contributor
Ms. Coulter pronounced it Democratic, not Democrat, so what’s the problem? Adults watch “Morning Joe,” not children. “Sesame Street” it is not. So the audience can handle the likes of Ann Coulter, otherwise why book the bombastic right wing bandleader? There’s also the reality that no one articulates right wing primary voters’ plight better than [...]

Obama Wins the Week
Republicans made Pres. Obama look very good this week. They just cannot get their act together and the one they’ve taken on the road for tryouts has been a flop. As weak as Pres. Obama is today, with large majorities believing he doesn’t know what he’s doing on the economy. The Republicans are absolutely inept [...]
