From HuffPo: Anti-abortion activist Lila Rose said at last weekend’s Value Voters Summit that as long as abortions are legal, they should be “done in the public square,” thus disgusting people into action. And then “we might hear angels singing as we ponder the glory of conception.” Sure I’ll get behind this idea, but only […]
Republicans in the Senate have so far offered 27 amendments to the health care bill. The Wonk Room has a rundown of all these crazy changes and they will only make healthcare less affordable. Ironically even if all these amendments were added the Republicans still wouldn’t support the bill. Hopefully Democrats will show enough spine […]
Sorry for the site being down all morning. We had to move out of our current data center into a new one, so John, who handles the servers, has been hard at work all morning doing the physical move. Now let’s get the day started.

At the “value voters summit” attendees decide to be rude and disruptive to reporters from MSNBC and even FOX: And this is an event that the presidential hopefuls and leading Republicans attend. Putting myself in their shoes (and wow is it scary there), I […]
I think I need health care right now because my heart just skipped a beat. More at Think Progress
It’s great to finally hear a leader give the dire warning that is needed in these times. Of course Drudge is already twisting what Pelosi said into some fear-mongering headline. That’s the Drudge journalistic integrity that has helped fuel this hostile climate.
The news that a judge has allowed the case of Jamie Leigh Jones against Halliburton/KBR to move forward has come at a very interesting time.
