Funny how a meme I saw mentioned in the comments thread at a liberal blog pops up on the Christian Science Monitor. When the Muppet fits… The GOP’s constant kneejerk rejection of economic ideas simply for the sake of Saying No has as much to do with our current malaise as anything being done wrong in the White House. The newly-minted fiscal conservatives on the Republican side of the aisle, many of whom are themselves responsible for the $3 trillion and counting Iraq War, are like the old men who heckle the Muppet Show from the balcony. Via GOP: The…

After letting my snarky inner twelve-year-old blog on Saturday, it seemed like it was time to make note of something worth repeating, and repeating again.

We need to recall our own national character – the better one, not the one that sent Japanese-American families to internment camps, but the one that ensured freedom of religion, and cordial relations between people of different faiths.

It bugged me that the national honor so much in need…
