The Racing Form 0
Above the Law’s Joe Patrick touts the odds on potential nominees to the Supreme Court.
In related news, Yastreblyansky catches a Republican in yet another lie, this one more blatant than most.
Aside:
Have I mentioned in these electrons the utter loathing I have for the disprespectful cutesy-poo pseudo-insider-esque expressions “SCOTUS” and “POTUS,” those vile affectations of lazy minds?
The Voter Fraud Fraud 0
Peter St. Onge describes the travails of one victim of the Republican gut-out-the-vote movement. It defies summary or excerpt.
Chris-Crossed 0
Mike Kelly considers Chris Christie’s State of the State quite revealing–not about New Jersey, but about Christie. A snippet:
Some people return, carrying old burdens and wounded memories. Others return to revel in some measure of glory.
Still others return with a re-invented narrative – a view of their past that is not even remotely grounded in reality and, of course, a view of their future that seems equally misguided.
This is Chris Christie.

How Stuff Works, the Art of the Con Dept. 0
Donald Trump is a pitchman, a Billy Mays in politics. Given a chance, he would try to sell a Popiel Pocket Fisherman to a fly caster.

“Carly Fiborina” 0
Dick Polman tries to inventory the many lies of Carly.
None Dare Call It Terrorism 0
Alfred Doblin points out that, in fact, it is.
I guess Adam Lanza, who shot 26 people inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in 2012, was just a man with a weapon. Slaughtering 26 people — 20 were children — was not an act of terrorism because, according to GOP presidential wannabes, a crazed man with a gun killing more than a half-dozen people in a school is not a terrorist. Or James Holmes killing 12 and injuring 70 additional people inside a movie theater in 2012 is not a terrorist.
Read the rest.
The Trump Cycle 0
Jack Ohman spots a pattern:
1. He lies again.
2. He questions the motives of the people who caught him in the lie.
3. He repeats the lie; then he goes up two points in the polls.

“Voodoo Zombie Economics”
0
The Laffable Curve has become another lie that will not die. From John Young:
Sure, tax cuts generate economic activity (as does spending), but never enough to make up for the lost revenue needed to pay for all the government that even so-called small-government types say they need.
Follow the link for evidence that the lie, gibbering and moaning all the while, still shambles its way through the Republican debates.
