Democrats for Progress Blog, the week in review

[JeffR]

If you haven't checked out the DFP Blog this week, here's what you missed:

Brewman Jax looks at the cost, financial and otherwise, of perpetuating a social and racial underclass, and concludes that while the expense will ultimately become untenable, in the here and now it already puts essential aspects of a healthy society out of reach for everyone.

In the spirit of bipartisan generosity, Nance Greggs saves Republican crotch-sniffers some time and effort in their ongoing War Against Women, in her latest Rant.

Walter Rhett argues that the death of Trayvon Martin is "a territory we must invade and a battle we must win" in an eloquent, elegiac edition of Digging Deeper.

With Republicans fighting on multiple fronts against women's rights and voting rights, what more effective strategy than to combine the two? The Desperate Bloggger gives us the lowdown.

Do not go barefoot into that good night, don't look to James Inhofe for insight into science or the Bible, please don't feed the animals, and brace yourself for some honesty from John Boehner. All this and more Republican voter fraud fraud too in this week's Take Five.

Friday Talking Points sees a Gingrich exit in the near future, lauds Senator Barbara Mikulski for becoming the longest-serving woman in Congressional history, bemoans editorial sloppiness over the name of a venerable American icon, and marks the second anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

The White House swings into campaign mode and David Plouffe is all over the place in RL Gardner's Sunday Talks. Oh, and if your tastes lean more to obnoxious and mind-numbing, you can also catch Lindsey Graham, Rick Scott, Michele Bachmann and Paul Ryan.

Our bloggers were on the spot this week with their comments. As we go into the campaign season I look forward to what each has to say....and how they say it!
Thanks to all of you!!!
