On Wednesday former US House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner describes his party's presidential candidate Ted Cruz as "Lucifer in the flesh", saying; However the Satanic Temple objects to the comparison, a spokesperson said: Some Republicans agreed, Cruz is notoriously unpopular...

Strange news from the New York Times: dogs and cats living together? Red Sox and Yankees fans being civil to one another? No, even weirder: A bipartisan compromise? A permanent fix for the so-called "doc fix"? Of course, nothing is ever quite so simple though. Thanks Harry Reid! Why do you...

Remember the incessant calls from John Boehner about how "we're broke"? http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/12/11/boehner-longer-the-white-house-slow-walks-this-process-the-closer-we-are-to-going-over-fiscal-cliff/ Apparently, that was so last week, because now presidential hopeful and serial...

Perhaps I'm overstating things in the title of this thread. However, the effect of the government shutdown on biomedical research is horrendous, as noted here. Here's and example from the site (bolding added): Unlike most other government medical researchers, this scientist has been allowed to...

Last week in an interview with George Stephanopolous, President Obama stated that "we don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt". Republicans immediately jumped on him for saying that, with the official GOP twitter account linking to a transcript of the interview and saying...

Apparently John Boehner is saying that Grover Norquist is "some random person". By extension, the speaker of the house goes around signing pledges from random people. This is the leadership of the Tea Republican party. They must be so proud. Daredelvis

So, even after all the hypocritical outrage over a government loan guarantee for Solyndra, John Boehner wants a $2 billion loan guarantee (four times larger than the one for Solyndra) for a company in his district. So, apparently government loan guarantees are necessary to create or save jobs...

Liberal blogger Mike Stark was on this story last September but now it's breaking in the mainstream press. (Yeah, I know it's the National Inquirer but the New York Times is working on it too.) Not just one but two (count 'um, two!) babes, neither of whom is his wife. The Tan Man sure knows...

Rangel and Waters should have their day in court, like they want and the Constitution promises! Give 'em the chance to clear their names before the election! They deserve it, and the right to a speedy trial to boot! What a guy, looking out for their interests like that.
