GOP loves the rule of law...when it suits them OR Bobby Jindal tries to make people remember him

I hear it a lot about "it's the law" when Joe Arpaio is rounding up landscapers in Phoenix (even while he's breaking the law himself in other ways like arresting journalists who dare print stories about him and harrassing lawmakers that oppose him, or illegally spending money he doesn't have in his budget, but I digress).


So, Mr Jindal here believes he's above the law?



Jindal going to ignore the law?

Remember when Bobby was the next big thing...right up until his disasterous response to Obama's first State of the Union. Seems so long ago.

When Mitt loved Individual Mandates

A friend said that today's decision will be trouble for Obama in November, but I'm not so sure.

I don't think it's going to be so bad for Obama, heard a recent poll that said after the health care act is thrown out (and everyone expected it to be) 68% of Americans wanted Congress/Government to do something to fix health care.




Insurance doesn't work unless the people who don't use it buy it, that's why Romney implemented the mandate in Massachusetts that was the foundation for Obama's plan. Sick people are going to be treated regardless, Obama's plan makes people responsible for funding that care, those who hate the mandate are ok with taxpayers funding all of that completely. (although they claim it's an affront to "liberty" while supporting indefinite detention of US citizens, strip searches for an overdue library book and warrantless wiretapping)

Smashing Pumpkin's "Oceania" first listen review

After the first listen (Thank you Spotify) this is one of my favorite Pumpkins albums since the days of Gish or Siamese Dream as it feels like the Pumpkins of old in lots of places.  The first song sounds like it came from Gish with Jimmy Chamberlin on the kit.  

If you remember my comments about the latest Shins CD you'll know when I fall in love with a band I prefer they keep on that course.  I don't need Black Sabbath doing a "free form Jazz Exploration" and I don't need the Rolling Stones to make a disco album (oh, that did happen), so I do like this "return to form" for Mr. Corgan.


 Another take...Pumpkins Review

Times are a changin

Apparently the GOP is outraged by this, but it wasn’t so long ago that the supposed “pro-family” GOP brought government to a complete standstill while it demanded that that illegal immigrant Elian Gonzalez continue to be separated from his father and remain in the USA. Times have changed.
