Bachmann, wtf.

When will we face the fact that no one will ever cost us more jobs than Wall Street did in 2008-2010, no one will ever kill more Americans than the 45,000 who die every year for lack of insurance. Our enemy is corporate greed and those pretend that such greed is patriotism.

I am watching what is happening to the young people in this country and it breaks my heart

Copyright lobbyist: "Child pornography is great. Politicians do not understand file sharing, but they understand child pornography, and they want to filter that to score points with the public. Once we get them to filter child pornography, we can get them to extend the block to file sharing."

John Boehner just said no to cutting spending by 4 trillion dollars. That deal was 83% in cuts to poor and middle class and 17% in taxes that included only closing loopholes in existing tax law. That is insane.

USA WINS

USA SCORES IN STOPPAGE TIME

French TV car hits Tour de France rider Flecha and knocks rider Hoogerland through a barbwire fence. [vid]

I don't like soccer. And I've never really followed women's sports. So God knows why I watched the Women's World Cup, USA v Brazil today. But I witnessed something special, what a great comeback for the USA!

Well the ref just gave Brazil the game against the US.
