And their Governor is a fool. Apparently there’s something about the office itself which makes its occupants even more stupid than they started out to be. That’s harsh, Link! Well, sorry, but it’s true. See, there’s this US military training operation called Jade Helm (.pdf) being planned by the US Army. Its purpose is to …
It has several times voted for Senator James Inhofe, most recently seen flipping a snowball to an aide to prove that climate change was a myth. No, I’m not kidding. Watch: From The Huffington Post: Inhofe doesn’t misunderstand the science; rather, he doesn’t need science as his guide, because God has already assured him there …
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, there were 61 members of that tribe killed in 2014. 27 of them were murdered. Create a 2015 spreadsheet and enter 12 victims into the murder column. Religious extremism is nothing new, but it surely seems to manifest more often these days. I don’t know how to stop …
Obama gave his speech at 3:00PM my time, about an hour ago. I have yet to see any mobs of brown people coming to ethnically cleanse me, Mom, or Abby. The Republican party has offered and a whole lot of people have elected a bunch of raving lunatics. Kris Kobach happens to be the guy …

Sam Brownback The author, Barbara Shelly, enumerates countless instances of what she calls lies on the part of the former Senator and now Governor Brownback. …
In that border state there is now a 72-hour waiting period before a woman can proceed with an abortion, and there’s only one clinic left in the state to which she can go to get that. In contrast, Missouri does not require a waiting period before one can acquire a gun. It would be ironic …
If this isn’t torture, I don’t know what might be. A Republican (of course) state senator from Florida (also of course) has drafted a bill to make it mandatory for high school students to watch Dinesh D’Souza’s op/ed film “America.” Never mind that the movie did only $2.5M in box office when it was released, …
On Thursday the Supreme Court told Massachusetts that its 35-foot buffer zone around clinics which provide abortions was too big. On Saturday the protesters who used to have to remain behind that line moved closer. Activists chanted, prayed, and sang during a nonviolent six-hour protest that occasionally erupted into vitriol and shouting. “Please don’t kill …
Those kids may be yours biologically, gentlemen, but who cares? You’re gay, and Texas doesn’t approve of gay marriages, so you can’t adopt them. Charming. More than that, unnerving. At the moment the only name on the twins’ birth certificates is the surrogate mother’s. “Without [co-adoption], if something happened to either me or Joe we …
Some loony ex-Colonel tried to rally a bunch of guys and gals who were supposed to converge on the National Mall today to depose Obama, Congress, and who knows who else. That didn’t happen.
