Friday Morning Funny
Glenn Beck shrieks like a baby during his radio show. (the hysteria begins at 3:15 mark) BTW, I was raised that if you resort to yelling during an argument it means you’ve lost the debate.
Religious Consistency
RSmitty brought this email to my attention, and while I don’t agree with all of it (especially the single mother nonsense) it is a refreshing read. Hmmm… wonder when this letter will be posted at Delaware Politics? Surely, they would embrace this philosophy with open arms.
Republican Fools
Something has happened to me over the last month – I can no longer sustain my outrage over Republican idiocy. There’s just too much stupid. Here’s the latest. Catherine Crabill, the Republican Party’s nominee for Virginia’s 99th District in the House of Delegates, gave a speech at a recent political event suggesting that Second Amendment […]
Don’t Know Much About History
Stories like this make me angry. Is our goal really to become the dumbest country on the planet? Perhaps we should rethink the Texas secession thing… especially given their influence over the textbook market. The Texas Board of Education, which recently approved new science standards that made room for creationist critiques of evolution, is revising […]
Racism Run Amok
What beats in the rotting heart of the blog Free Republic: ‘A typical street whore.’ ‘A bunch of ghetto thugs.’ ‘Ghetto street trash.’ ‘Wonder when she will get her first abortion.’ These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative ‘Free Republic’ blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack […]
When Left Is Right And Right Is Just Lunacy
John McCain on Sarah Palin: “I don’t think she quit.” Um… that’s exactly what she did.
The Dangers Of A Two Party System
Several weeks ago I wrote a post pointing out how, through closed primaries, the 21%ers will control who’s at the top of the Republican ticket. Frank Rich digs deeper, and, as bored as I am with Sarah Palin, Rich points out why we may be dealing with her in 2012. (Read the whole article.) In […]
It Would Be Like Putting Me In Charge Of The NRA
Meet Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s possible choice to head the state’s Board of education – Cynthia Dunbar. […] In a book published last year, Dunbar argued the country’s founding fathers created “an emphatically Christian government” and that government should be guided by a “biblical litmus test.” She endorses a belief system that requires “any person […]
Bob Cesca’s Awesome Health Care Post
Read the whole thing while I highlight some of my favorite parts. While I spent a few moments of my holiday weekend revisiting the irony of anti-socialism protests taking place on socialized park land, it occurred to me that the proposed government-run public health insurance option probably won’t cost nearly as much as the CBO […]
It’s A Complexion Thing
Anonone brought this article to our attention. More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason. “I heard this lady, she was like, ‘Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?’ She’s like, ‘I’m scared they might do […]
Chaos Theory?
There’s a certain deliberate chaos to the Obama Administration. Whether we’re discussing the stimulus, health care or cap and trade, there’s a method – and the method appears to be create diversions while quietly staying on track behind the scenes. Now, I’m not claiming this will work, but I also don’t think that statements like […]
Best Line Of The Day!
Alberto Gonzales gets a job at Texas Tech, and TPM commenter RS dreams a little dream… Please tell me there’s at least one Texas Tech political science student with the guts to answer “I do not recall” to every test question. Maybe even “I do not recall remembering.” I do so love clever people.
