Sarah Palin: she can do what???

Yes, its true.  She can carry a baby and think at the same time, so long as by ‘think’ you mean ‘not able to answer simple questions about politics’ or maybe ‘able to say anything that isn’t out-and-out self-serving ignorance’.But yeah, I suppose that makes her a threat then.What Do Sarah Palin and Jesus Christ [...]

Godless Sunday 12/13 Part II

Godless Sunday 12/13 Part I

I really don’t understand this position at all.  While I do understand the idea that the atheist movement might need to deal more politely with those of faith (’understand’, not necessarily ‘agree with’), the idea that somehow saying that one can be good without god is too strong an attack on religion is ludicrous.  It [...]

Washington Times Stops Reporting, Just Reposts

Which is sadder…the fact that the distinction between the Washington Times and Fox News is virtually non-existent, or that the Times has simply stopped trying to do anything resembling responsible reporting and is simply reposting from blogs without doing any fact-checking?  At what point do should you be required to no longer refer to yourself [...]

The Great Right Wing Capitalism Lie

8:04 – of course there’s no agreement from Republicans about whether or not there should be health care reform.  They are rich, and enjoy fear.  Oh, and enjoy being rich.  Or are suckers.  Tough call.
8:05 – Don’t [...]

Dobbs: PROTECT GLENN BECK!!

y’know, for a while, I thought Dobbs just hated immigrants.
No, he just hates all non-whites, is best I can guess from this.

Oh and with regards to:
See, it was Van Jones’ group that got the bright idea to go after his sponsors because Glenn Beck said some things that he didn’t like. Isn’t [...]

The Public Option’s Death And How The ‘Trigger’ Is Pointless

So, it is looking very much like the public option is now going to be put out to pasture unless the insurance companies don’t comply with various rules.
I can’t imagine this will ever ever trigger.
1. If insurance companies don’t comply, we will simply have the same fight all over again with people punching each other [...]
