***IT’S STEPHANIE’S 50′TH BIRTHDAY!!!***

Karl Frisch of Bullfight Strategies calls in at 9am ET / 6am PT to co-host Right Wing World

David Bender of the Progressive Voices Smartphone App calls in at 9:30am ET / 6:30am PT to talk about the political news of the day

A Massachusetts man was arrested and charged Wednesday with plotting to attack the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol with a remote-controlled aircraft filled with plastic explosives, federal officials said.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday that he erred in last week’s presidential debate, when he said that opponents of in-state college tuition for the children of illegal immigrants were heartless. Perry said it was “inappropriate” for him to make the comment.

Mitt Romney reclaimed his front-runner status as Rick Perry fell to second place and Herman Cain tripled his support base, rising to third place in a new Fox News phone poll released today.

The Department of Justice asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to review a lower court decision that struck down a key provision of the Affordable Care Act. Because the government is asking the Supreme Court to step in an address a major act of Congress that has divided the lower courts, the Justices are likely to take up the issue this term and decide it before the next election.

Cheers, Momma!

For Gawd's sake! Solyndra is comprised of mainly Republican shareholders and was pushed through the loan process during the Bush administration, only final approval occurred under Obama's watch.

Solyndra's corner on the market was supposed to be an alternative to very expensive silicon. In the interim, silicon prices came down so their innovation was no longer necessary. This is the essence of capitalism - not every risk pays off.

Out of the 50 or so (solar, I believe) businesses in the loan program in question, only Solyndra went bust, due to the aforementioned market conditions.

Governor Christie's dismal policy decisions set to shredding guitar riffs by the Screaming Majority (just audio, no video for this song):

"The Portly Authority of New Jersey"

"Look up in the sky
It's a guy full o' pie
It's Governor Christie-Creme....

"Flying all the time
Frying all the time
Lying all the time
All on the taxpayer's dime

"He's shutting down tunnels, unions and libraries
A breath of fresh air from the turnpike refineries
He flies to a meeting with rich donors and donuts
and calls in reporters; they all watch him go nuts

"If you struggle with weight issues, we apologize
We figured we can take these cheap shots cause
Governor Christie's a real douche."

As one who crossed that magical mark 3 years ago, congratulations. Warning - you will be increasingly confronted with reality checks, like someone once asking me about my grandkids (I don't even have kids)or giving me that dog "cocked-head" look when I mention a certain song or TV show from my youth. However, all things considered, I'm still more than happy to be here...and it's getting better!

Happy birthday, Momma and Tim in Dallas!

Happy birthday to Stephanie Miller, everyone's favorite gay radio talk show host (other than Michael Savage). I'll not make a big deal about the candle count, if only because I'm the same age. In honor, I've posted a compilation video of her best TV moments from 2010, distilled down to 12 minutes (and if you have a fast connection, it's available in Stephtastic HD) :
