Yeah! That's the ticket!

Norbizness suggests that everyone's favorite bogus political party outsiders form their own party. The outsiders in question being John "I'm a team player, I really am! Vote for me!" McCain and Joe "The Dem it's okay for wingnuts to like" Lieberman.

It's about high time that we had a viable third party to supplement the tired-ass binary system we've got going now. Thank God several prominent Senators are applying for this splinter from the Republican Party, if only they could settle on a name: Extremely Silly, Raving Loony, Church of the Most Exalted and Infallible President Bush.


Alas, Raving Loony Party name was taken years ago by the late, great Screaming Lord Sutch. Actually, it is known as the Official Monster Raving Loony Party. Maybe Extremely Silly or Bush Sycophant Party would be good names. Mary Matalin could be a party secretary, as shilling for Bush seems to be the one thing she's exceptionally good at--that and trading on the fact that she's a Republican married to a Clintonista.

Anyway, back to our so-called "mavericks." They're mavericks only in the sense that they reject the majority opinion regarding Situation FUBAR. Alas, the majority opinion on Situation FUBAR is rooted in common sense, and not Fox News. See how hard it is to be a maverick in today's political climate?

Tell us something we don't already know

The MTA is clueless. Man, if you need a place to vent or learn the full story behind mass transit horror stories, check out Gothamist.

Then there's also the fact that the MTA was urging people not to take the subways and opt for a bus instead, only for buses to be (A) few and far between and (B) crowded as anything. They forgot to mention "(C) fucking slow." Don't the people at the MTA feel really stupid when they say shit like this? MTA CEO Lee Sander said, "We really are sorry about the inconvenience that New Yorkers had to deal with. In terms of how it happened, we had three inches of rain in an hour. The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in

We're the ones we've been waiting for, and all that

Via Blue Wave News , Van Jones' speech at the Campus Progress National Conference, which rang true to this cautiously optimistic liberal. More from Mr. Jones, via HuffPo: We are trying to build a pro-democracy movement in a country that, at least for eight years, was run by [inaudible] authoritarians. And it is not going to be easy. But I tell you, the most important thing I can say is... We feed the fearmongers. We feed the politics of division, by giving it so much attention and letting it fill up the space in our mind. We have to feed the hope. This country is an extraordinary -- I get choked up -- this is an incredible, beautiful country... That little idiot box off in the corner trying to depress you and make you feel like this is a horrible country and everybody believes evil things about the president... it is just not true. Cut it off, just cut it off and walk down the street and talk to real people in this country. They are sophisticated. They are wise. They don't kno
