Republicans Become Dumber – Is That Possible?

Yep, it's possible.
Belief in evolution among Republicans has dropped more than 10 percentage points since 2009, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center. Pew found that 43 percent of Republicans said they believed humans and other living beings had evolved over time, down from 54 percent in 2009. More (48 percent) said they believed all living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time.
Oh my, that's embarrassing.  Guess all this talk of the importance of STEM classes doesn't resonate with the GOP.  Science, technology, engineering and math are obviously not Jesus approved.  Good luck with that.

RIP, Madiba

You've all heard by now that Nelson Mandela died peacefully at his home this evening. His is among the most heroic political and personal stories I have ever heard, and am still informed by.

James Clapper, the Obama Administration's Director of National Intelligence has said NSA does not "wittingly" collect data on citizens. General Keith Alexander, NSA's Director as well as his predecessor have testified that NSA is not spying on or collecting data on citizens. Even the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee has told the media that the American intelligence community is not intrusively monitoring the communications of our citizens without a warrant.
Carney Misses Chance for Bipartisanship

Carney Misses Chance for Bipartisanship

When it comes to John Carney's cherished bipartisanship vs. the obligation to do the job he was elected to do, John Carney has chosen...neither. According to this article, 162 members of the U. S. House of Representatives have called for a debate in Congress prior to any authorization of attacking Syria. 62 Democrats are among those signing the letters to call for such action. John Carney is not among them.

The Romney Campaign And Do-Overs

There's a pattern here, and I think it's deliberate. First, the Romney Campaign says something outrageous (Anglo-Saxon comment, questioning the preparedness of security at the Olympics, etc.) then they counter their initial statement with an do-over.

I'm feeling good. My son just returned from his college orientation trip. He has his classes and is excited about starting school - with a scholarship. Whoopee! Since I'm feeling good I thought I'd share this video of the 2012 USA Olympic Swimming Team. Dare you not to smile!
