The source is a surprise. The 'we're going to undo everything Obama did because 2008 was awesome, give a bunch more money to the rich and by the way we still hate gays" platform is not.

This new "Contract with America" is just brilliant. Their plan is to repeal health care for millions of Americans who have been phased in, or are soon to be phased in. This was something I thought they might be stupid enough to build a platform on, but I just can't believe it. Obama and the Dems can really beat up on them for this move.
How are they going to try and sell it anyway? "Hey we know your child is able to receive asthma medication you couldn't get covered for prior, but now we're going to repeal that from you and your family. It's part of our 'contract' with you, and we keep our promises!"

It's a slow day in a dusty little Australian town. The sun is beating
down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in
debt, and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich tourist from down south is driving
through town , stops at the local motel and lays a $100 bill on the
desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick
one to spend the night.
The Motelier gives him keys to a few rooms and as soon as the man
walks upstairs, the owner grabs the $100 bill and runs next door to
pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to repay his debt
to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill at the
supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his
drinks bill at the local pub..
The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking
at the bar , who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer
him "services" on credit.
The hooker rushes to the motel and pays off her room bill to the
motel owner with the $100 ....
The motel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the
rich traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the $100
bill, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money,
and leaves town.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything.
However, the whole town is now out of debt and looking to the future
with a lot more optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Australian Government's
stimulus package works.

Bet back in her witchin' days, she wore another kind of pearl necklace, a time or two.

I think it's a subliminal message in support of Prop 8. That or an ode to Mrs. Howell on Gilligan's Island, I'm not sure yet.

Is anyone following the Alaska senate race? It's pretty comical but quite confused - the teabagger Miller primaried sitting senator Murkowski ® but is now feuding with the Palins? And he's the guy who has said that unemployment benefit is unconstitutional but whose wife has claimed it despite him being wealthy. All very surprising.

I saw that about the UE, what an asshole. When the shit hit the fan for me UE saved our ass, it covered the spread. Prior to that (while I was sick) I liquidated my trading account and was just starting to go into savings when I got unemployment. These self righteous jerks, who do they think they are? Then to find out his wife was on it...total dick.
I see the Witch of the NE is getting clowned, I think she's down by 20 points or so? Maher seems to have another clip he's waving around, maybe we'll get a leak? haha
