Right now DUmmieland is chock full of disappointment in The One as you can see in the very title of this THREAD, "Obama's promise of a new beginning now hollow." And the main reason for this disillusionment centers on health care. Yeah, there will probably be some sort of meaningless health care bill with a feel good theme such as RESOLVED: Adequate health care is a good thing. It would have just as much actual effect...

For the past few years, liberal activists have gathered in Washington each spring for the Take Back America conference, where speaker after speaker -- Obama sometimes among them -- would give rollicking denunciations of the Bush administration before packed rooms of partisans. But now that Obama has actually taken back America, the activists at this year's gathering feel a bit like the dog that finally caught up with the car. Organizers changed the name from Take Back America to America's Future Now, but that didn't prevent a sharp decline in participation. At...

The company said that it wanted to take a more "low-carbon" approach with the goats reducing the company's contribution to air and noise pollution. The cost of hiring the 200-some goats is about the same price as mowing, but the goats were "a lot cuter to watch." PETA responded to a TechCrunch call about the goats saying that though they have no problem with letting goats do what they do, they do have concerns...

I'm not here to argue about those positions. But the Berrigans at least were effective. That was because they were willing to give up everything they had, including their freedom, for their causes.

New York Times “economist” Paul Krugman spent his Monday column about the “tea parties” calling Republicans insignificant and “embarrassing to watch.” He strains what little credibility he has left (among NY Times subscribers, since he’s long past having any with rational people), by trying to tie Tom DeLay’s disbelief in evolution to the genesis (pun intended) of the Tea Parties....

A hundred years from now, historians and social scientists will look back on our own crazed obsession with guns and wonder why the madness lasted so long.

It’s interesting how the view from abroad can shift and remake perceptions of homegrown celebrities, the ones who are part of the gross domestic product. American women already admired Michelle Obama before she left for London—her popularity rating had risen 18 points, to 72 percent, since September—but the TV coverage in the last two days has dialed her up dramatically to another level.

That's the likelihood; here's the certainty: You've never listened to Rush Limbaugh. Oh no, you haven't. Whenever I interrupt a liberal's anti-Limbaugh rant to point out that the ranter has never actually listened to the man, he always says the same thing: "I've heard him!" On further questioning, it always turns out that by "heard him," he means he's heard the selected excerpts spoon-fed him by the distortion-mongers of the mainstream media.

While these are valid points, the tables have turned; conservatism is now the dissenting view. Sadly, these guys won, and won big. They should be happy, right?

For weeks, there have been rumors in the military and intelligence world that Obama was having difficulty finding a new CIA director because no one who was qualified wanted to work with Eric Holder, Obama’s choice for Attorney General.
