Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
This GOP URL thing could turn out to be teh awesome, as some of you have pointed out:
With Allah as my witness, the animated Michael Steele was saying “Notice something different?” as I took that screen grab.
This is why we can’t have nice things. Damned liberals.

Posting this one for posterity:
Saw this on twitter:
So I gave it a shot:
It never, ever, ever changes with these guys, does it? Heckuva job, guys.
*** Update ***
It appears to be working now with tragic results.
Today has sucked. I hope this makes it suck less:
We always seem to adopt dogs that have a little too much personality. Our first dog was a beautiful black dog that doted on us almost as much as we doted on her. After she was gone, it took a lot of time before we were ready to welcome another dog. But when we did, our new dog became an instant and important member of the family.
This is Sunshine or as we affectionately call her, Crazy White Dog.
Sunny was rescued from Arkansas by the Camano Island Animal Rescue north of Seattle, WA. We found her through Petfinder.com (http://www.petfinder.com/index.html) a great resource for finding pets! We thought we were adopting a golden
retriever mix but 2 weeks after adopting her the yellow part of her
coat disappeared and we got Crazy White Dog(TM)Note: Camano Island Animal Rescue found Sunny while adopting 2 other dogs from Arkansas. A trucker’s network that transports dogs for adoption gave Sunny a ride to the Pacific Northwest (where it is not quite sunny).
When you look at Sunny, people often think, “what a beautiful and
happy face”. That is how she pulls you in. Behind the good looks is a lot of crazy. There is a lovely path worn through the grass from her insistence on running in only one trail in the yard. She grumbles and complains through all her tricks. She spins like the Tasmanian devil after a bath, while throwing herself on the rugs to dry off. She sleeps in the shower after storms. She will only go to the bathroom in our yard, which is not so great for weeklong vacations.Her favorite thing to do is run full speed at the sliding door to show her great desire to come inside. She sometimes scratches at the screen door for added effect. As soon as we open the door, she sprints away. It never gets old.
But she loves every person and animal she meets. She tells you a
story when you come home. She grabs your arms and makes sure you pay attention to what she is telling you. She entertains us with crazy runs through the house. And the whole family loves every strange and wonderful part of her.
This is your open thread.
I used that twitter thing to mention this, but if you missed Hardball tonight, you missed a gem when Chris Matthews credited Luke Russert with digging up the Lieberman video from three months ago in which he supported the medicare buy-in.
That, of course, was the product of Greg Sargent’s labors, and not Luke Russert. In fairness to Luke, he actually credited Sargent.
Also, new tag.
I think this Matt Welch piece provides the definitive example of what glibertariansim really means:
“I got mine, screw everyone else.”
These guys are just quaking in their boots:
President Obama’s meeting with prominent members of the financial services industry will be missing three key members: Goldman Sachs Chairman Lloyd Blankfein (left), Morgan Stanley Chairman John Mack and Citigroup Chairman Dick Parsons.
All three had been expected to attend the meeting but will miss it “due to inclement weather,” according to the White House.
The three planned to participate instead via conference call.
Apparently there were no flights on Sunday or any available five star hotels in DC for them to stay last night. I’m sure if we call them fat cats a couple more time while Ben Nelson and company water down the House’s regulation bill, they will really get the message.
Maybe John is wrong and we shouldn’t defend Ezra Klein. Even a former editor of the liberal New Republic thinks Ezra is being too partisan (no link for Lane):
My colleague Chuck Lane accuses me of a “venomous smear” against Joe Lieberman today, which is fair enough. He’s hardly the first to see it that way. What is surprising is that Lane, well, agrees with my venomous smear. “I understand that [Lieberman] seems to bear a grudge against the Democratic liberals who tried to unseat him in 2006 because of his vote for the war in Iraq,” writes Lane, “and that he might be engaged in a little pay back right now.”
Lane is on the Kaplan editorial board.
It’s probably time to start an Ezra Klein Kaplan death watch.
