The republican party, or the party of OH HELL NO, has become a massive obstacle to political progress, simply by going limp and forcing democrats to drag them around all over Washington like dead, bloated, bodies. But what of their base? What kind of person gets off on this sort of lame ass obstructionism? What must they think of the president, and of his supporters, to condone the sort of disgusting sludge the GOP and their flying monkeys in the right wing media pump into the debate? Do they actually believe this stuff? We’ll take a look.
And what have our favorite Conservative wind bags been up to? I’m sure they have been principled, and with a laser focus on the best interests of the American People. Surely they aren’t just running around like looters doing crazy shit for short term political posturing. I guess we’ll find out.
ENJOY!

I want you to do me a favor. A friend of mine is in a contest and he did this great illustration depicting the dangers of debt (which involves this sweet octopus you MUST check out). Please support a good friend of the show, and participate in the real democratic process, namely, voting in online polls. Let's show the strength of the BPS Army!
Get it here. And vote once a day. I'd really appreciate it.
A good story about how the GOP won the health care battle by being complete assholes. As it turns out Obama's real mistake was wanting to do things. Let's hope he doesn't repeat it.
In the wake of a weirdly devastating loss to GOP Sex Kitten Scott Brown in the race to fill Ted Kennedy’s senate seat, ending the pretend super majority that has been a ridiculous exercise in group delusion since the 2008 elections wrapped up, my beloved liberals were sent reeling. How could this have happened, we said to ourselves? Could it be because we’ve been complete pussies for more than a year? Then they cried, and whined, and found a way to behave like even bigger pussies. Is there anyone in this party who will take these people on? Someone who can sit both sides down and remind them that they are legislators, and not insolent children? Is there anyone who can play Rocky to the Right’s Apollo Creed? There may be. And his name is Barack Obama.
After the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the troubled island nation of Haiti last week, the world pulled together to lend a hand, and try their best to help manage what quickly became an horrific humanitarian crisis. With death tolls as high as 200,000 by some estimates, the scope of the disaster has yet to be fully understood. The devastation is so profound as to be impossible to overstate, and equally as impossible to ignore. Unless, of course, you are a member of the right wing media. How they respond to this crisis? Would they be able to rise above the petty partisan squabbling that has come to define discourse in America? What do you think. We'll get into it, and try not to vomit too much in the process.
