"Morning Joe" Goes From Covering News To Becoming The News- Updated
Submitted by Phoebe Loosinhouse on Fri, 06/30/2017 - 9:10amNo, I'm not referring to the infamous Trump Tweet yesterday about Mika bleeding from a face lift, and the resultant uproar, I'm referring to what their response to that tweet on "Morning Joe" this morning revealed - that they had been told by "three people at the top of the White House" to either apologize to Donald Trump for their unflattering coverage or face the consequences of a National Enquirer expose.

On The Whole, I Think Things Are Going Rather Well
Submitted by Phoebe Loosinhouse on Tue, 06/27/2017 - 9:39amI confess to being blindsided by the wholesale exuberance with which the Republicans have embraced killing off wide swaths of the undeserving electorate, unencumbered by even ritualistic expressions of regret for the carnage they hope to legislate with their healthcare “reform”.

Bob Swern Paints Himself With Honey And Lies Down On Daily Kos Ant Hill
Submitted by Phoebe Loosinhouse on Thu, 04/27/2017 - 11:17amMay I doff my hat in admiration to one who so often wades in regardless of shark fins, who marches into the lions den, and who rips off his sunglasses to expose the whites of eyes to his adversaries?
