There were so many good options this week. I had already begun to expose Mitt Romney’s bizarre claim that the deficit is the cause of the economic downturn when The New Republic beat me to it. I encourage everyone to read their piece because it’s pretty dead on. So I went with my second choice,...
TGIF Links: This was very nearly the dumbest thing I heard this week — jackhole conservatives pretending that California’s debt is just like Greece even though even though a bare amount of research reveals that the problem in California is an out of control conservative movement taking advantage of a ballot measure process to...

For the future please please please send me any articles like this that show up in your inbox because I enjoy researching and writing retorts...
Hump day links: If you’ve ever seen a conservative blame Obama for the economy, it may be an effective campaign attack, but you need to be prepared to explain this to set the story straight.
