Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Republicans are declaring war on quality craft beer, and that is why I am supporting Russ Feingold in a recall election against Walker, and you should too.

Barack Obama is in Korea lecturing Americans to suck it up and embrace the catfood at the same time Biden was left to represent the WH at the Arlington National Cemetery ceremony to honor America’s Veterans; all so Obama could sell out American labor via a Korean free trade agreement. Dumbest politics ever.

Turns out “If al-qaida is calling” really meant a tragic game show of “Dialing for Detainees” and taking crank calls from batty old landladies. Based on this atrocious “evidence” human beings were detained without due process, beaten and abused. Right here in the “Homeland”. The new definition of “security”.

Oversigh hearing with Eric Holder

Vice President Joe Biden is set to make an appearance in his home state of Delaware today to make an announcement that Fisker Automotive will be purchasing, retooling and opening up operations in a shuttered former General Motors facility in Wilmington.

The Steelworkers just uninvited Arlen Specter from a speaking gig and replaced him with Joe Sestak.

Ian has a great piece up at FDL on the financial sector’s problems, their genesis, and the Obama Administration’s conventional wisdom, status quo, manner of dealing with them. He describes the fallacy of viewing it as a “black swan” event. That is a very rare, random and unpredictable event. We should be similarly concerned about short sidedness with American industry and manufacturing, which are the real foundation of the American economy.

As the Republicans in Congress, most notably the Senate fixate on emasculating the stimulus package, stripping it and the country of hope, I want to return to another recent example of the un-American activities and bent of this group of legislative geniuses. I refer to this same group’s actions and illogic in relation to willingness to kill or cripple American Auto manufacturing under the false guise it is not as good or efficient as foreign makers. Recent news from Toyota puts the lie to another Republican claim.

They’re calling the successful rescue yesterday of 155 passengers aboard a US Airways jet a miracle. And that miracle was brought to you by union men and women.

The business lobbyists who used to run the White House are complaining about the treatment they’re now getting. I know that will make you sob for them.
