GOP: The Next Generation


From New York's "Senate race," a peak into the Republcan Party's vaunted farm system, already developing strong talent for the future.


[Kathleen Troia "KT"] McFarland suspended campaign activities on Monday after the arrest of her 16-year-old daughter on shoplifting charges. McFarland had canceled some press events, including a televised interview.

Her 16-year-old daughter, [...], was charged with two counts of petty theft and possession of stolen goods.


So, there we have it.

It seems, perhaps, that GOPers may just be lonely, spoiled rich kids, crying for attention.

Going from fundraiser to fundraiser, thinking this may be the night I get a hug.

You think that's what's behind Karl Rove's whole NSA spying thing?

That it's just that lonely cry in the rain?

A sad desire to see how the simple folk live?

Could it be that Dick Cheney's just looking for some semblance of love and understanding? And in not getting it, he acts out by shooting the Constitution in the face? Or telling our great nation to "Go fuck yourself"?

Such sad, rich children. With so much weighty governmental responsibility.

But fear not, sad children.

The adults are on their way.

Here's a calculator to help you get a clearer picture of just how you'd make out under Obama's tax plan, rather than just extending the Bush tax cuts which is all that McCain is proposing.




Stop the heartbreak of catalog glut.
