• The "Nah Nah Nah Can't Hear You!" Argument

  The conservative movement meltdown is going into overdrive, if Peter Wehner's op-ed in the Washington Post today is any indication. With most Republican candidates explicitly running on a platform promising a revival of Reagan conservatism and berating the supposed "socialism"...

• The Hate Machine & The Lynch Mob

  I was on Fox News yesterday (sorry, I don't have the clip, but if anyone does, please post it) and National Review's Rich Lowry - a reliable cog in the Right Wing Hate Machine - did his best to try...

• More Proof the GOP Is Retreating In the Tax Wars

  A while back I wrote a post about how the conservative movement is in shambles in the Rocky Mountain West. Then, a few weeks ago, I wrote a newspaper column on how the long lines at the chronically underfunded/understaffed Division...

• Angry Conservatives Cry When Progressives Punch Back

  T-minus 37 days until my book deadline - but I couldn't help but take a quick second to point this out today. It's just too funny, really. The conservative movement is built on rage and anger - from Sean Hannity's...

• The Single Most Offensive Economic Article I've Read. Ever.

  This article by Michael Lewis might be the single most offensive article on economic issues I've read. Ever.* Lewis is a writer for Establishment megaphones like the New York Times magazine and Slate - and his article is a good...

• Stop the Presses! Governor Meets With State Employees!

  Really, this has to be the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a long time. Apparently, Republicans believe there is something scandalous about a governor meeting with state employees and unions to - gasp! - discuss wages, working conditions and...

• CAUGHT ON TAPE: GOP Advocates Letting Homes Burn Down In Face of Wildfires

  You want to see the real-world problems with right-wing extremism? Here's a good example of it from Big Sky Country. With Montana facing major wildfires, senior Montana Republican lawmaker John Sinrud - who heads the state House's appropriations committee -...

• On TV, Tucker Carlson Admits to Committing a Hate Crime; MSNBC Anchors Laugh

  So what happens when a right-wing pundit like Tucker Carlson goes on television and admits to physically assaulting someone and committing a hate crime because someone supposedly "bothered" him? Why, Tucker's fellow MSNBC anchors laugh, of course. I kid you...

• As Montana Faces Fire Emergency, State GOP Embarrasses Itself...Again

• Weakening Regulators Who Protect America From Dangerous Imports

  Those rabid radical socialists* over at Businessweek are at it once again, filling the world with their anticapitalist manifestos. This one is about the Consumer Products Safety Commission, which has been crippled by budget cuts and chronic underfunding. Here are...

• After All, Stopped Watches Are Right Twice A Day

  Is today officially Freaky Friday? Because either I'm still rubbing sand out of my eyes and not seeing straight, or I actually agree with the two Davids (Brooks and Harsanyi) and with the archconservative Club for Growth....

• GOP Rep. Lamborn Admonishes Troops for Supposedly Not Yet "Wanting" to Win

  Apparently, Congressman Doug Lamborn thinks the Iraq War is akin to the Little Miss Sunshine contest. According to today's Colorado Springs Gazette, he had the audacity to tell U.S. troops serving in Iraq that "If we want to win this...

• Memo to GOP: "This Ship Will Self-Destruct In 20 Seconds - This Is Your Last Chance to Push the Cancellation Button"

  Lately here in Colorado, the public has been treated to a rather comprehensive seminar on why conservative politicians have now been thrown out of a state government formerly dominated by Republicans, and more broadly, about why the national GOP is...

• GOP Mismanaged Tax Dollars? What Will We Tell the Children?

• Conservatives' Newest Bridge to Nowhere

  In the wake of the Minnesota bridge disaster, conservatives like Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi are frantically trying to avoid a debate over taxes and budget priorities. Locally here in Denver, the motivation is obvious: They are likely gearing up...

• Liberals "Believe Bloggers Should Be Running Our Military"

  That's according to the Denver Post's David Harsanyi. If Darth Vader/Dick Cheney were here in Colorado this week, he might tell Harsanyi: "Impressive...most impressive." Click here to see the full interchange between Harsanyi and me...How lucky we should feel to...

• Luke vs. Darth: One State’s Battle Epitomizes America’s Epic Struggle

  For the last four months, I have been quietly reporting on the Montana legislature for my upcoming book in 2008. My book is not about the Montana legislature in specific, but instead uses the legislature as one of many examples...

• So It Has Come to This

  I don't want to generalize or psychologize, but there's an awful lot of male writers on the internet who, in real life, aren't exactly the picture of stereotypical macho toughness. That's, of course, fine. I certainly fall into that category...
