  • House Dems Fail on Timetable, Still Looking for Scrotum

    Goddamn this. Speaker Nancy Pelosi will present a plan to House Democrats for a war funding bill that won’t include a timeline for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq but will feature benchmarks with consequences, according to Democratic leadership aides… Leadership aides said the benchmarks would be tied to Iraq reconstruction aid and would require President […]

  • 'Al-Qaeda Is an Invention”

    I’m putting it in quotes because this seems far-fetched to me. “Ana raicha Al Qaeda” is colloquial for “I’m going to the toilet”. A very common and widespread use of the word “Al-Qaeda” in different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb “Qa’ada” which […]

  • HOWTO: Bring Down the Republican Party

    Via DailyKos: The story, of course, is election fraud. Gaming the electoral system from the inside. To unfairly favor republicans. Favors and promotions for those who go along. Demotions, firings and blacklisting of those who don’t. Nonexistent charges of voter fraud and threats or coercion for these charges to be investigated. Illegal redistricting. Petty lawsuits […]

  • Mary Cheney's Brand Spanking New Abomination

    Congratulations to Mary Cheney to giving birth to a bouncing baby immeasurable weight on her father’s tar-pumping heart: Mary Cheney gives birth. Grandparents rejoice. Religious conservatives crap pants. MSNBC is all over it. No word on what’s to be done with the placenta, or if Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket the christening. If Jerry […]

  • Mike Gravel on Constitutional Confrontations

    (via Reddit) MotherJones.com | washington_dispatch: “What we need to do is to create a constitutional confrontation between the Congress and the president,” he says. “Most people have forgotten the Congress is more powerful than the president.” Never mind impeachment, Gravel says: “That’s a red herring right now. It would take over a year to screw […]

  • Pew Study: 6% Muslims Agree with Bombing Civilians (24% US Overall)

    Compared to 24% of Americans overall: 6% of US Muslims – and 15% of US Muslims under 30 – believe that “bombing and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians” are “often or sometimes justified”. Sounds bad, but what happens when you ask the same question of non-Muslim Americans? Turns out that 24% of all Americans […]

  • Louisiana School Boys Face 30 Years for Playground Scuffle

    Of course they’re black: Jena is gaining national notoriety as an example of the new ‘stealth’ racism, showing how lightly sleep the demons of racial prejudice in America’s Deep South, even in the year that a black man, Barak Obama, is a serious candidate for the White House. It began in Jena’s high school last […]
