Sad. Sounds Like College Level Class...

Rep. Jim Splaine — Thu, 17 May 2012 01:20:10 GMT

..."Political Confusion" 501, or "How To Be Anti-Democracy" 601. Either way, there would be a lot of "A" students among the Republicans, unless they had to read assignments or write term papers.

More national ridicule...

Dead people still alive

Media Matters reports that the dead people who voted in N.C. turned out to be alive. Typical of O'Keefe!

I got this from the AFL-CIO

"It started when O'Brien-a first-term speaker and hardcore tea party member-tacked a bill allowing employers to call union decertifications onto an unrelated bill over the objections of both Republican and Democratic legislators. That bill passed the House 195-137-not a veto-proof margin.
The atmosphere got uglier when O'Brien unexpectedly decided to take up a voter ID bill. After O'Brien attempted to silence a number of lawmakers who wished to testify against the bill, Republican Rep. Steve Vaillancourt shouted, "Sieg Heil," and saluted the chamber.
O'Brien then threw him out of the House chamber and appointed an apology committee to force Vaillancourt to apologize."

NHPR didn't mention it at all. We are ill served by all of our media.

This is a well-deserved and timely endorsement.

I'm with you, Dean. I think momentum is picking up and there will be more labor support for Jackie in the near future.

Public-sector unions must see the $400 million writing on the wall. If they refuse to reward those who are politically courageous enough to refuse the pledge and who will fight for all working families, the system becomes self-reinforcing.

Bill, if you wrote this

it's kinda creepy how much you refer to yourself in third person. Dare I suggest editing your press releases for a more intimate feel?

Otherwise, thank you for your service, congrats on the gubernatorial run, and welcome to BH.

Three Latin words:

Throw this in their faces

Chaz Proulx — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:06:03 GMT

This should stick to the heels of Smith, Frank, Ovide Granite Grok, and all the other sewer brains who gathered to pay homage to O'Keefe.

What a creepy kid.
