“People become consumed with envy, however, when they think they can’t get rich,” Carlson opined.
Ahh, No. People worry they that can't educate their children, find adequate health care for themselves or their family, earn a living wage, find a affordable place to live, and cast a ballot in the next election.
Envious of the one percent. Make me retch, not rich.
Problem is the poor are just envious.

A new book alleges that Rob Ford's wife confided to someone that her husband didn't intend to give up "the blow" after he was elected the mayor of Toronto, the National Post reported.
When asked to comment on this revelation:
Ted Cruz said he's not giving up the smirk.
Rmoney is not giving up the underground garage.
Shrub is not giving up these weird paintings.
McCain is not giving up yelling at clouds.
Christie is not giving up his supply of cement shoes.
Boehner is not giving up his tanning coupons.
Palin is not giving up her dubbed over Tina Fey collection.
Darrel Issa is not giving up his supply of road flares and accelerants.

1000 posts. Yay!!
I joined on the day President Obama was reelected. It has been a great experience. My thanks to all DUers for their incisive thoughts and opinions and look forward to continued discussions in the years to come.

Kincannon has enlarged upon early Republican attacks on Davis, insinuating that because she supports a woman’s right to choose, she must be a promiscuous, man-eating tramp. Calling her a “coke whore” and insinuating that she cheated on her then-husband, Kincannon wrote, at one point, “I don’t care if folks attack Wendy Davis unfairly. I just want her attacked.”
I see this as warming up the water for really vile attacks on Hillary Clinton if she runs. These attacks are likely to make the Whitewater and Monica attacks look extremely tame by comparison.

They want high-security buildings where their identities are protected, complete with panic rooms and stockpiles of food and water in case of emergency. In case there’s a Third World meltdown, they want a First World stronghold.
I used to think only rats, roaches and syphilis would survive a nuclear war. Unfortunately, I think have to update that list with these wretched sophists.

GOP three headed response to the SOTU speech
I was betting on Moe, Curly, and Larry (apologies to Stooge fans in advance). However, these Rethug three are even more hilarious.

Ex Secretary Gates with protective neck collar
Caught Gates on TV yesterday. Noticed he was wearing a large neck collar. I can only surmise he had the condition known as ratwhiplash, which is defined as very rapidly turning on a sitting President for the lofty motive of lining your pocket leading to spinal injury.

Right-wing media figures of all stripes are outraged that New York Gov. Chris Cuomo (D) said that New York state is no place for “extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay” Republicans.
At least Gov Cuomo states out loud who is unwelcome in his State. By Teabagger Governor's actions which people are not wanted in their states?: women, Hispanics, African-Americans, homeless vets, disabled vets, the LGBT community, the middle-class, the poor, the very poor, really-anyone not of the one percent, the insured, those insured by the ACA, Rachel Maddow, the informed, the educated, the Dixie Chicks, atheists, anyone for reasonable gun legislation, George Carlin on youtube, union members, anyone who can remember the New Deal, Keith Oberlman, those people who benefit from the Voting Rights Act, Bill Maher, pregnant women, well, my list is not exhaustive, unfortunately.
