First the "Birthers," now the "Deathers." Seriously.

Deep thought: Will Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich) now offer a bill that Sergeant Crowley needs to offer an apology to Lucia Whalen?

McCotter wants there to be checks and balances in the Gate-gate affair, and wants the President to apologize to Crowley.  He scolded the President for not having his fact-ducks in a row before he castigated Officer Crowley and maligned the Cambridge...

Some commenters at the site wonder if it is a spoof; I think not, as Pat and Sister Bay have said almost all of the same things on the air.  I had to cut and paste it, I was unable to...

A new USA Today/Gallup poll (post resignation presser-by-the-lake) shows a whopping 71% of Republicans polled say they would vote for Palin in 2012!  Also scary, 51% of Independents polled say they would not vote for her.  For President!  Even now! ...
