Politics

Leave it to John McCain to just pull any old thing out of his ass. The latest is the wildfires in Arizona, which McCain is trying to pin on illegal immigrants: Latino activists accused U.S. Senator John McCain of “fanning the flames” of intolerance Saturday after he blamed illegal immigrants for some of the massive […]

Bad Word Of The Day: Uterus!

Politics

Rep. Scott Randolph (D-FL) is in trouble with Florida House Republicans for saying a new dirty word on the House floor: At one point Randolph suggested that his wife “incorporate her uterus” to stop Republicans from pushing measures that would restrict abortions. Republicans, after all, wouldn’t want to further regulate a Florida business. Apparently the […]

Six Packs While Packing Heat

Politics

I read stories like this, then I sit here and scratch my head thinking “Wow! Some lawmaker thought this was a good idea and a bunch others joined in”: Tennessee is one of four states, along with Arizona, Georgia and Virginia, that recently enacted laws explicitly allowing loaded guns in bars. (Eighteen other states allow […]

And On The 8th Day, God Created Glocks!

Society

Leave it to the great minds of Louisiana politics, following their fearless leader of Bobby Jindal to come up with this plan: Jindal’s office said Tuesday the governor acted on the bill in the past few days after receiving it June 20. Including the “gun-in-church” bill, House Bill 1272 by Rep. Henry Burns, R-Haughton, Jindal […]

Keepin’ It Classy Mike

Misc

Whatever happened to the phrase “compassionate conservative”? I guess the right has dropped that whole mantra, as evident of this video of Michael Steele: The girl Steele is poking fun at was just explaining how her mother died last year from cancer and couldn’t afford the medicines to fight the disease. You want a death […]

Take It Or Leave It

Misc

Chuck Schumer isn’t having any of this a la carte crap that governors like Bobby Jindhal is trying. He has released a letter sent to the White House urging them to send either all funds or none at all to state. The money quote (no pun intended – ok maybe a little one): As you […]

Bush Administration Denies McCain Was Ever Tortured

Misc

A brilliant post by Andrew Sullivan: In all the discussion of John McCain’s recently recovered memory of a religious epiphany in Vietnam, one thing has been missing. The torture that was deployed against McCain emerges in all the various accounts. It involved sleep deprivation, the withholding of medical treatment, stress positions, long-time standing, and beating. […]

$40,000 To Serve

Misc

We have a serious problem when it now takes $40,000 dollars to get kids to want to enlist: The U.S. Army is having such a hard time recruiting new soldiers that it is about to offer a truly breathtaking incentive to high-school graduates who sign up-a $40,000 signing bonus, to be applied to buying a […]

Media Propaganda

Misc

Check out this headline from the AP: So what is that? Could it be troop cuts or defunding the war? NO! This article is about the Republicans filibustering Jim Webb’s amendment to give the troops as much time home as they are at war. Anti-war? Fuck you AP – this was a pro-troop bill. It […]

The AP's Take On Feingold

Misc

As all have probably heard by now, Russ Feingold said he is introducing resolutions to censure Bush and Cheney. That is a great move, even though it isn’t impeachment. Still, let’s see how the AP reports this: Liberal Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold said Sunday he wants Congress to censure President Bush for his management of […]
